Some of the companies have pursued initial public offerings, while others are planning to do so.
Here are 10 Chinese robot firms exhibiting products and seeking potential customers and investors at the conference.
Unitree
Hangzhou-based Unitree has built its name on robots featured in viral dance, boxing and martial-arts demonstrations.
Its compact R1 humanoid was introduced at a starting price of 39,900 yuan ($5,900), while its more advanced H1 is listed on Unitree’s official store at $90,000.
The company this week previewed “Superman”, saying the robot can make a 2-metre (6.6-foot) standing jump and reach a top speed of 12.66 metres per second.
UBTECH
UBTECH’s Walker C1 is a full-size humanoid designed for service and interaction rather than factory work, with applications including reception and public-facing environments.
The Hangzhou-based startup’s quadrupeds are already widely deployed in search-and-inspection and emergency rescue operations in China.
The company’s Shanghai STAR Market IPO application was accepted in May.
Leju
Leju’s KUAVO is a bipedal humanoid aimed at industrial and service work that the company says can be paired with Huawei’s Pangu embodied-AI model.
The startup, backed by tech giant Tencent (0700.HK), filed a Shenzhen IPO application in May after securing about $200 million in a funding round last October.
Galbot
Galbot’s G1 has wheels rather than legs, along with a lifting torso and two arms designed to restock shelves, retrieve medicines or move warehouse goods.
It weighs 92.5 kg, can carry 5 kg per arm and has an eight-hour operating time, according to the company.
X Square
X Square is selling software as much as the arm itself.
Its WALL-B model identifies, picks and reorients jumbled parcels before feeding them onto a conveyor.
The company said a livestreamed test handled 1,816 parcels an hour with more than 98% accuracy.
Fourier
Fourier’s GR-3 “care-bot” is designed to feel less mechanical than factory humanoids.
The human-sized robot stands 165 cm (5-foot-5-inch) tall, weighs 71 kg and has a soft exterior, vision and touch interaction, with applications including companionship, public services, education and eldercare.
Luna
The Shenzhen-based startup specialises in general-purpose humanoid robots and embodied AI software.
Backed by Alibaba (9988.HK) and JD.com (9618.HK), its newest humanoid, Luna, is designed to draw crowds at malls, museums and theme parks.
The 160-cm humanoid can learn movements from video and perform synchronised routines.
In China, the retail price is set at RMB 298,000.
The first 100 customers will receive a limited-time discount of RMB 40,000, available while supplies last, according to a company post on LinkedIn.
Robotera
Robotera’s L7 humanoid targets logistics and manufacturing, while its XHAND 1 dexterous hand has tactile sensors for delicate grasping.
SIASUN
Unlike the humanoid newcomers, Shenzhen-listed SIASUN is a long-established supplier of factory automation.
Its SR270A industrial arm can lift 270 kg, reach 2.7 metres and is designed to load, weld and assemble heavy parts.
