At a press conference for the 2026 World Robot Conference, an official from the China Electronics Society highlighted the nation's remarkable progress in robotics. The industry has undergone a significant transformation, growing in scale and strength, and has now secured a leading position globally.

For thirteen consecutive years, China has maintained its status as the world's largest market for industrial robots. The humanoid robotics sector, in particular, is at the forefront worldwide. Rapid advancements are being made in dataset development, and substantial progress has been achieved in the physical construction of pilot-scale testing bases.
