Four Themed Forums in Session, Jointly Exploring the Large-Scale Implementation of Embodied AI

On the opening day of ROBOTECH 2026, four parallel on-site forum tracks launched simultaneously, centered on four core industry themes: technological innovation & supply chain collaboration, industrial smart manufacturing upgrading, commercial service deployment, and extreme special-purpose operations. The event drew distinguished speakers from research institutes, robotics enterprises, core component suppliers, third-party testing agencies, and industry end-users, with a packed house and dynamic, in-depth cross-industry exchanges throughout the day.

At the 2026 Forum on Embodied Robotics Technological Innovation & Supply Chain Collaboration, representatives from South China University of Technology, Shenhao Technology, Shenzhen Ruoyu Robotics, NSK, Humanoid Robot Scenario Application Alliance, Lianhe Imaging, CVC Testing, Qingli Technology, and LexisNexis shared insights on high-priority industry topics: integration of large language models (LLMs) and robotics, industrial embodied intelligence platforms, critical humanoid robot components, vision perception systems, testing and evaluation standards, long-life industrial motors, and global market entry regulatory compliance. These discussions offered actionable new perspectives to drive technological breakthroughs and supply chain coordination across the embodied robotics sector.

The 2026 Forum on Embodied Robotics for Industrial Smart Manufacturing Upgrade focused on the critical pathways to deploy robots in real factory settings. Representatives from AMIO Robotics, SF Group, Haoling Robotics, and UBTECH Robotics shared on-the-ground operational insights and replicable solution frameworks, covering topics including large-scale embodied robotics deployment, innovation in exhibition logistics, flexible material feeding and precision tightening on automotive production lines, and humanoid robot-enabled palletizing and material handling.

The 2026 Forum on Commercial Service Deployment of Embodied Robots, held in the afternoon, focuses on innovative applications of embodied AI in commercial service and consumer scenarios. Guests from Yuexiu District Artificial Intelligence Industry Association, Accelerated Evolution, Daxiang Antai and Qingtianzu shared insights on AI general education, simulation service robots, cultural tourism performances and robot operation services. The discussion inspires commercial service robots to shift from “showcase highlights” to “regular operation”.

Running concurrently, the 2026 Forum on Embodied Robots for Special & Extreme Operations centers on robot applications in high-risk, complex and extreme environments. Representatives from enterprises including Qiteng Robotics and Yaoxing Technology shared cutting-edge practices covering intelligent operation and maintenance for hazardous chemical enterprises, edge-side embodied AI technology for high-risk sites, demonstrating the unique value of special robots in work safety and extreme operation scenarios.
