China’s robotics boom is in full swing, with hundreds of firms showcasing cutting-edge tech at Beijing’s World Robot Conference—aiming to move beyond pilot projects into real-world use across logistics and manufacturing. Backed by government support and fueled by soaring investor interest (Unitree’s stock jumped nearly sixfold on debut), the sector mirrors the electric vehicle rush—with fierce competition pushing innovation forward. Global humanoid robot shipments have nearly quadrupled this year, led by Chinese makers—but a key hurdle remains: many robots may still be collecting data rather than performing paid labor. The race is on to turn demos into daily productivity, and while momentum is undeniable, mass adoption is still being built—one robot at a time.
