Пекин показал будущее, влог с крупнейшей выставки роботов WRC 2026

Andrey On the Road’s host visits Beijing’s World Robot Conference 2026 to examine robot hardware, AI and current applications, speaking with robotics company representatives about their products and challenges.

In this talk

  1. 4:30

    From components to adaptive robotic hands

    The host surveys components such as gears, drives and frames, then describes a robot hand that uses visual input to identify objects like apples and bananas and grasp them without direct control. A representative from Changing Tech Robotics Technology says the company makes electric grippers, robotic hands and humanoid robots, and has shipped more than 100,000 of one product. Its grippers are used in manufacturing, agriculture, education and research; the company is working to improve precision, speed and service life.

    Robots in practical settings

    At a coffee demonstration, a robot responds to an app command by moving a cup to a coffee machine, which handles the brewing. A humanoid robotics representative says the company develops its own hardware, software and robot models, and uses its system to sort parcels in logistics centers. The representative identifies software and the robot’s capabilities as the main development challenge, while expecting robots to take on more inspection, factory and logistics work in five years.

  3. 21:50

    A wide range of machines on display

    The host points out robots and vehicles presented for military operations, including armed machines, underwater vehicles, drones and a cargo carrier that could move supplies or evacuate wounded people. Elsewhere, he sees rescue, warehouse, patrol, surveillance, cleaning, firefighting and industrial robots. He observes that many exhibits are operating prototypes and says some are already in use at plants and factories.

  4. 38:02

    Humanlike designs and the path ahead

    After two days at the exhibition, the host says the number and variety of robots left him overloaded with information. He notes that young people operate many of the booths and argues that supporting young founders can help robotics companies grow. He also examines lifelike humanoid robots and a roughly four-meter, 500-kilogram machine with hydraulics and actuators, while noting that its purpose was unclear to him.
