In the sweltering midsummer of 2026, China's robotics industry is enjoying a surge in popularity like never before. Within the H3 Hall of the 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference held in Shanghai, humanoid robots are on display every three meters from entrance to exit. These robots are showcasing an array of skills, including singing, dancing, screwdriving, playing chess, and even providing massage therapy, all while the steady whir of servo motors fills the atmosphere. This remarkable uptick is not merely a transient trend confined to the conference venue; rather, it is the inevitable result of a sustained increase in capital investment and order volumes over the past three weeks.
