The Largest World Robot Conference in China
PRO ROBOTS’ main presenter covers humanoid, service, industrial, and healthcare robots at China’s 2025 World Robot Conference, with demonstrations and interviews from exhibitors.
Denis Rogov, host of Денис Рогов PRO Технологии, tours the World Robot Conference in Beijing and discusses robotics companies, products, and prices with exhibitors.
Rogov visits EngineAI, whose T-800 is built for robot fights, then Booster, which makes humanoid platforms for education and sports; its small soccer robot costs $5,900. He also shows Poxini’s sensitive robotic hands and Linker Hand’s customizable options for humanoid makers.
At BrainCo, Rogov sees a person use EEG equipment to direct a robot through tasks such as picking up an apple. Noetix offers robots priced at 10,000 to 20,000 yuan and a conversational robot head called Head One, priced at $24,000.
OptiUMI combines controller data, robot movement, and 120-FPS video into synchronized files for training neural networks. Rogov says the company estimated about 500 hours of recordings could support strong training, and quoted a new system at roughly $20,000 to $30,000. Another motion-capture setup using Pico 4 Enterprise costs $50,000 with software.
Rogov tries an automated coffee shop and an exoskeleton that, on a treadmill at about 4 km/h, made walking feel 25–30% easier. He says exoskeletons are increasingly aimed at rehabilitation, older adults, and hiking, with one model priced around $400 to $500. He also visits Dobots’ medical massage equipment for recovery.
Deep Robotics’ DR02 robot dog is presented for industrial and harsh-weather use, with a starting price around $50,000; Rogov also sees a robot horse. Asrirobot’s A1 can mirror an operator’s movements through VR, while a police patrol robot supports recording and traffic duties. Unitree’s 2.8-meter, 550-kilogram piloted mech is priced at $650,000 and is pitched for emergency response and heavy work.
