On 8 month 19 day, the 2026 World Robot Conference will open at Beijing Yizhuang Beiren Yichuang International Convention and Exhibition Center. This year's conference, themed "Human-Machine Symbiosis, Production-Needs Integration," will feature the World Robot Expo and the World Robot Competition, showcasing the latest trends and cutting-edge achievements in the global robotics field. As the permanent host of the World Robot Conference, Beijing Yizhuang will present a series of major announcements,成果 displays, and real-world scenarios to offer the world a front-row view of the forefront development of embodied intelligence.
Major announcements will be unveiled in rapid succession. This year's conference is supported by 30 international organizations, with international speakers accounting for 30% of the main forum, marking a significant upgrade in scale and prestige. During the opening ceremony, Beijing Yizhuang will showcase humanoid robots developed in-house by local companies and launch "RoboPark" (Machine World 3.0), highlighting cutting-edge applications and strategic deployments. At the main forum, Beijing Yizhuang will introduce Beijing's "Machine Domain"—a new society integrating humans and machines through embodied intelligence—setting the direction for regional development. Additionally, the forum will release the "Humanoid Robot Industry Report" to provide robust support for industry growth and announce new embodied intelligence professions, guiding the sector to address talent shortages.
During the concurrent events of the conference, Beijing Yizhuang and its local enterprises will host multiple forums, creating a powerful synergy among government, industry, academia, research, and application. Specifically, Beijing Yizhuang will organize several "YiQiWin" themed activities. The Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Center will host events such as "Embodied Awakening: Empowering All Life" (an embodied intelligence application innovation theme) and a humanoid robot evaluation and exchange conference. XinghaiTu will hold the "From Model to Productivity" Embodied Intelligence Industry Application Forum. The Talent Group will facilitate a thematic exchange on integrated development of robotics education and industry in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.
Groundbreaking achievements will take center stage. The World Robot Conference will feature over 300 exhibiting companies, with more than 2000 exhibits on display. A highlight of the event is the "Yizhuang Power," showcasing approximately 20 local enterprises presenting innovative products and solutions that span the entire value chain—from core components to complete robotic systems and diverse application scenarios. The Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Center, Xinghai Tu, and Xingyuanzhi will demonstrate cutting-edge embodied AI applications through humanoid robots. SMC and Anycast Shougang will present hard-core industrial robot + AI solutions. Yunji Technology will unveil its core product matrix featuring the "Human-Machine Coexistence World Value Model." Yizhuang Robotics Company will provide a comprehensive overview of the robotics industry ecosystem. Meanwhile, the Talent Group will establish the "Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Robot Industry-Education Integration and Collaborative Development Zone." Additionally, for the first time, Beijing Yizhuang will launch the "Living Room · Embodied Garden"—a Robot + Art exhibition celebrating the fusion of embodied intelligence and artistic design.
Innovative scenarios will be officially unveiled. From 8 to 26, the "2026 E-Town Robot Consumer Festival" will take place in Yizhuang, Beijing. The exhibition will feature a dedicated robot consumer zone with nearly 100 booths across four key areas: brand showcases, tech and cultural creativity, specialty dining, and interactive entertainment. Over 50 robot experience devices covering education, elderly care, and home scenarios will be on display, introducing the pioneering "See the Future Inside, Buy Now Outside" dual-core consumption model. Additionally, the Robot Mall 4S Store at the Beijing Robot Industry Park (Yizhuang) has completed its upgrade and new exhibition setup, while the Robot Research Institute 2.0 has entered trial operations. These diverse scenarios are helping bridge the final mile from technology to market for robots.
From 8 to 23, the 2026 World Robot Conference will be held in Yizhuang, Beijing. Global attention on the robotics industry will converge here as a new social vision for embodied AI unfolds.
