Inside the 2025 World Robot Conference – Smarter Robots, Humanoids, and the Rise of TORA-ONE
Beijing is getting ready to host one of the biggest showcases in robotics: the 2025 World Robot Conference, happening August 8–12 in the high-tech zone of Beijing E-Town.
This year’s event promises a serious upgrade—over 100 new robotic products will make their debut, nearly twice as many as last year. With more than 1,500 exhibits from 200+ global companies, it’s clear the conference is fast becoming the go-to global stage for robotics innovation.
The theme? ‘Making Robots Smarter, Making Embodied Agents More Intelligent.’ Expect to see everything from agile quadrupeds and rescue bots to robotic lawnmowers and surgical-assisting catheter robots. It’s a full display of where intelligent machines are heading.
A major draw will be the 50 full-body humanoid robots on show. And yes—they’re getting better at walking, grasping, and even making eye contact… just don’t expect them to laugh at your jokes. Yet.
China remains the world’s robot powerhouse, producing 556,000 industrial robots in 2024 and filing two-thirds of global robot patents. The international interest has grown too—up from just a dozen international institutions a decade ago to 28 today, with over 80 overseas participants expected this year.
And for something a bit more fun, there’s also a Robot Consumer Festival running alongside, blending cutting-edge tech with consumer curiosity.
And that’s your robot news update for today!
