The 2025 World Robot Conference kicked off in Beijing on Aug 8. The five-day event showcased a 50,000-square-meter exhibition space, bringing together over 200 companies and featuring more than 1,500 products, including innovations from Wuxi in Jiangsu province.
Eyoubot from Wuxi displayed a series of new force-controlled harmonic joint products. According to Gu Jinghai, brand director of Eyoubot, miniaturizing force-controlled joints is an inevitable challenge in the development of embodied intelligence. This product series is expected to become one of the first in China to be delivered in large quantities.
At the UBTECH Robotics booth, the world's first humanoid robot that can change its own batteries, Walker S2, and the full-sized wheeled humanoid robot, Cruzr S2, worked alongside UQI's lifting mobile robot, Wali, and the unmanned logistics vehicle, Chitu. They demonstrated an effective approach to managing a complete workflow, which encompasses not only the storage and transportation of materials but also their intelligent sorting. This was all managed through the integrated scheduling and task allocation of the Q-Brain Network 2.0.
"UQI's vision is to develop an end-to-end unmanned logistics system based on unmanned vehicles and humanoid robots. We hope to showcase more possibilities for realizing this vision through the conference," said Sun Kaishun, UQI's deputy general manager. The company has launched industrial mobile robots like Wali, unmanned logistics vehicles like Chitu, and industrial humanoid robots, all powered by their self-developed robot operating system and robot core controller.
For just 499 yuan ($69.47), one can own their very own robot. At the booth of Wuxi-based Luwu Intelligence, their latest five-degree-of-freedom desktop pet robot Lulu is small enough to fit in the palm of one's hand. Yet, it meets the needs of ordinary households for robot development, exploration, and emotional companionship.
