Leading the Future with Intelligence | electronica China 2026 Unveils the Humanoid Robot Exhibition Area!

As a highly influential platform for the Asian electronics industry, electronica China will be grandly held at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre (Halls N1–N5, and W1–W5) from July 1 to 3, 2026.

This year’s electronica China will spotlight advanced technologies in Asia, focusing on establishing the "Humanoid Robot Exhibition Area". Additionally, the event will host the "Embodied Intelligence Industry Application Conference". This dedicated exhibition area will showcase the industry’s cutting-edge technologies, highlighting the limitless potential of intelligent robots in future daily life and industrial production through static product displays, dynamic technology demonstrations, and multifaceted industry exchanges. Serving as a vital gateway, electronica China offers the Asian electronics industry a unique platform to collectively witness the evolution of embodied intelligence from a conceptual idea to wide-ranging practical applications.

Policy Support: Strengthening Institutional Guarantees for High-Quality Development

Currently, China's intelligent robot industry is undergoing a pivotal period of strategic opportunity for rapid growth. At the national level, a comprehensive policy framework is being implemented to propel the robot industry toward leapfrog revenue growth and double the density of robots in manufacturing.

Backed by a suite of supporting policies, industry development now prioritizes breakthroughs in core technologies, the cultivation of industrial clusters, and the expansion of application scenarios. Through diversified measures such as production incentives, investment subsidies, and financial support, policymakers are providing comprehensive guarantees of capital, technology, and market access to drive the high-quality development of the industry. These efforts are empowering China to secure an increasingly central role in the Asian robot landscape.

Technological Breakthroughs: Driving Innovation Across the Entire Hardware-Software-Algorithm Chain

At the Humanoid Robot Exhibition Area of electronica China, key advancements in core technologies are set to be a major highlight of the exhibition. Driven by ongoing iteration in core sectors, the industry has fostered a robust and complete innovation ecosystem:

AI upgrade

Leveraging large models, generative AI, and multimodal perception fusion technology, robots are evolving from traditional fixed-program execution to autonomous decision-making learning with evolutionary potential.

Precision control dimension

The mature application of six-dimensional force/torque sensors, tactile sensors, and compliance control algorithms establishes a robust technical foundation for robots to perform high-precision, force-dependent tasks, including precision assembly and medical surgery.

Environmental interactive perception

The seamless integration of lidar and ToF cameras, coupled with the high-speed data transmission enabled by 5G/6G communication technologies, substantially enhances robots' environmental perception and navigation capabilities, establishing a robust perceptual boundary.

Market Expansion: Driving Growth through Comprehensive Application Scenarios

As Asia's premier manufacturing hub, China continues to demonstrate strong and growing demand for industrial robots. In sectors such as automotive manufacturing and electronic assembly, automation upgrades are propelling the transformation from traditional equipment to intelligent robots.

Meanwhile, the service robot market is exhibiting enormous growth potential in areas, including medical care, home cleaning, elderly care, and logistics and distribution. With the emergence of advanced humanoid and social robots, innovation in the "Robot as a Service" model is further expanding the boundaries of the industry. This virtuous cycle—where technological advancements drive innovative products, and these products, in turn, invigorate the market—is prominently showcased at electronica China, illustrating a vision for the future intelligent society.
