   Humanoid faces and tactile sensing

   Shanghai Kingbao Engine Robot and Digital China Technology showed androids designed for public interaction, with facial expressions, voice response, and live engagement. Damon Robotics presented tactile sensors that detect pressure, texture, shape, and slipping, plus a teleoperation suit for gathering robot training data. The company said a computer manufacturer uses its sensor in a gripper that installs memory into a motherboard.

   Robots for factories, hotels, and public services

   Jiangsu Yunmu described eight humanoid models in pilot production, while GAC’s wheeled GoMate is intended for factory use and is planned for production from 2026. Robot Era’s Q5 targets settings such as retail and healthcare, and Zerith’s H1 cleans hotel rooms; the presenter cited a planned shipment of more than 500 units and a price near $14,000. Galbot’s retail robot retrieves and hands over products, and the company said its systems were already operating in at least 10 Beijing hospitals.

   Touch, care, and human interaction

   PaXini’s TORA 1 uses nearly 2,000 tactile sensors in its palms for delicate tasks such as picking strawberries and folding clothes. Carebot’s GR-3 was presented through its gentle movements and response to touch, emphasizing an intended sense of care. Other exhibits included AheadForm’s expressive Annie and realistic humanoids from Digital China Technology.

   Competition, sport, and robot training

   Unitree demonstrated its customizable R1 and a G1 boxing match, part of an ongoing series of public robot fights. In RoboLeague’s autonomous three-on-three final, Tsinghua’s THU Robotics beat Mountain Sea 5–3 using Booster Robotics hardware. Beijing’s Yizhuang District announced plans for a public robotics data pool supported by collection sites in places such as malls, hospitals, and warehouses.

   Industrial systems and scaling production

   Longwood Valley MedTech said its orthopedic surgery robot can complete procedures in about 30 minutes, compared with the usual two to three hours. Hexagon Robotics showed Aeon scanning a car door for quality checks and said the industrial robot could later be sold commercially, with hot-swappable batteries for longer operation. UBTECH highlighted Walker S2’s autonomous battery replacement and coordinated robot demonstrations, while several other companies described manufacturing plans, deployments, or production targets.
