One highlight was the WAIC Robotics Street, a blended retro-futuristic recreation of 1990s Shanghai, with supermarkets, snack streets, repair shops, industrial workshops and community centers, staffed by various cutting-edge humanoid robotics.
Based on the booth tour, this reporter believes that industrial robots are currently more practical and mature when compared with humanoid robots.
With continuous advancements in AI and perception systems, industrial robots are becoming smarter, more flexible, and easier to deploy.
Currently, in China, industrial robots have become a mature solution in parcel sorting, especially in automated warehouses and logistics hubs.
A notable example is Chinese logistic firm SF Express, which is already using robotic sorting systems in its smart logistics parks.
