The fair, which will run through Sunday, has put the spotlight this year on artificial intelligence and robotics innovation.
With about a dozen of its products on display at this year’s event, Unitree Robotics drew one of the largest crowds on opening day, as it featured humanoid robots dancing and engaging in kickboxing matches.
Other robotics exhibitors that were well received at the show included EngineAI, Cyborg and Shenzhen Ruiyan.
The fair’s spotlight on China’s robotics industry reflected the efforts by China’s public and private sectors to foster its development via supportive national policies and unique events such as the inaugural World Humanoid Robot Games held in Beijing in August.
