Beijing is set to host its most ambitious World Robot Conference yet in August 2025, with organizers promising a 50% increase in global participation and unprecedented technological breakthroughs. Over 1,500 robotic exhibits from 200+ companies will transform the Beijing Economic-Technological Development Area into a living showcase of artificial intelligence and automation.
Frontiers of Innovation
Attendees will witness the debut of 100+ cutting-edge robots – nearly double last year's figures – including agile quadruped models, precision medical robots, and next-generation humanoid machines. Fifty manufacturers will display full-body humanoid robots capable of increasingly complex tasks, signaling a new phase in human-machine collaboration.
China's Robotics Leadership
With China producing 556,000 industrial robots in 2024 and accounting for 66% of global robotics patents, the conference underscores the nation's central role in shaping automation's future. Xu Xiaolan of the Chinese Institute of Electronics notes international participation has grown eightfold since 2015, with 28 global institutions now supporting the event.
Beyond Exhibition Halls
A concurrent robot consumer festival aims to bridge industrial innovation with market demand, offering businesses and tech enthusiasts alike opportunities to engage with transformative technologies. Co-organized by the World Robot Cooperation Organization, the event positions Beijing as a critical nexus for global tech collaboration.
