These include innovative products for both home and commercial use as well as electronic devices, audiovisual equipment and more.
The fair will feature products and solutions across various fields, with a special focus on AI and robotics, the silver economy and digital entertainment. Members of the “Hangzhou’s Six Little Dragons” will be present, including DEEP Robotics, which will present the X30 Quadruped Robodog, designed for applications in inspection and search-and-rescue operations, while BrainCo will display Revo2, a bionic dexterous hand which can be used as a prosthetic. It features multiple active joints that simulate natural movements of the human hand, enabling precise and flexible control.
DIGIT, one of “Shenzhen’s Eight Great Guardians of Embodied Intelligence”, will introduce a series of intelligent robot products that support comprehensive customisation in appearance, hands, and voice, offering an immersive multi-modal interactive experience, while PaXini Tech will showcase a humanoid robot equipped with advanced tactile sensing and AI vision, highlighting technological breakthroughs in perception, judgment and execution.
The exhibition will also feature the special RoboPark event space, featuring over 30 sessions with speakers from leading robotics companies including Booster Robotics and Unitree Robotics from Chinese Mainland. Live demonstrations will take place in the event space to showcase how the latest robotics technologies can be applied in commercial, rehabilitation and living settings.
Regarding new applications for the silver economy, some exhibitors will present smart GPS walking canes, specifically designed for older adults, that integrate advanced features such as GPS real-time tracking, emergency alert alarms and obstacle-detection systems. Another key area will be digital entertainment. The Immersive Experience zone will showcase a variety of interactive entertainment options that combine virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR) and AI, allowing buyers to test and experience different products in an immersive setting.
