BEIJING, Aug. 21 (Xinhua) — Humanoid robots with the looks of Chinese Tang Dynasty (618-907) poets Li Bai and Du Fu have been a success on the ongoing 2023 World Robot Conference (WRC).
“Their body shapes and expressions look natural. They simulate the voices and actions of real people and interact with the audience. They have already been utilized in many fields including culture, tourism and education,” mentioned Zheng Yaxin, an official with EX Robots.
The seven-day occasion started on Wednesday in Beijing, that includes the participation of round 160 robotic enterprises from all over the world. These firms showcased practically 600 units of robots, with 60 of them making their world debut on the occasion.
Xin Guobin, vice minister of trade and knowledge expertise, mentioned, “The robot industry represents advanced manufacturing and is leading human society to an intelligent era, boosting world economic development and improving the well-being of mankind.”

In the exhibition areas of Realman Intelligent Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd. on the WRC, many guests skilled a robotic therapeutic massage, which relaxes the muscle groups on the again and shoulders.
“The robot’s visual sensor can identify people’s physical characteristics. It then uses this information to generate the massage trajectory. With proper control of pressure and temperature, the robot arm conducts the massage operation,” mentioned Chao Jiaqi, a advertising director of Realman Intelligent Technology (Beijing).
Chao added, “Realman has suppliers and distributors in many countries including Germany, Japan and the United States. We also have close cooperative relations with Sony and Siemens.”
Chee Fai Tan, president of ASEAN Smart Industry Confederation, mentioned that the robotic can perform high-precision work whereas concurrently enhancing productiveness. It has been extensively utilized in manufacturing and agriculture to help the lives of many individuals.
The multi-arm fruit-picking robotic was additionally eye-catching on the WRC, which enabled the viewers to have a direct understanding of contemporary and clever agricultural improvement.
“The robot arm and the fruit-picking devices are capable of automatically picking and storing 400 to 500 pieces of fruit per hour. To enhance efficiency, it works around the clock and has the ability to minimize fruit damage significantly,” mentioned Li Tao, a staffer with the analysis venture of multi-arm fruit-picking robotic.
The robotic has been utilized in Beijing and east China’s Shandong Province, which plans to additional broaden to abroad markets just like the United States and Australia, Li famous.
Swiss expertise and engineering agency ABB Group showcased its collaborative robotic arm on the convention. Du Haiquan, a gross sales guide with ABB, mentioned, “China has a huge market potential. The ABB factory in Shanghai is set to provide quality products with advanced techniques for the Chinese market and the Asian-Pacific region.”
Jose Vieira, president of World Federation of Engineering Organizations, additionally emphasised the significance of coordinated improvement of nations all over the world, “We are delighted to see the robot industry contribute to a sustainable future.”
“The robot industry will continue to make breakthroughs in more scenarios and bring benefits for our people,” mentioned Chen Ying, secretary-general of Chinese Institute of Electronics.
In 2022, the working revenue of China’s robotic trade exceeded 170 billion yuan (about 23 billion U.S. {dollars}). Xin famous, “Robots should play a vital role in resolving the common challenges in this world, such as the climate change, healthcare and food security, to make more people worldwide live a better life in the future.”
