On August 20, at the 2026 World Robot Conference, JD.com unveiled its strategic robotics plan (the term "layout" can be a bit ambiguous in this context; "plan" is a more straightforward and commonly used term in English to convey the idea of a strategic approach). The plan entails establishing a global after-sales maintenance network for robots, which will span more than 100 countries within the next five years. This ambitious initiative is expected to create over 100,000 job positions for robot maintenance engineers. JD.com will concentrate its efforts on three crucial aspects—supply chain, services, and technology—to expedite the commercialization and practical application of the robotics industry in various scenarios.
