The 2026 World Intelligent Manufacturing Summit features a specialized session titled "Era of Task Execution — Humanoid Robots and Embodied Intelligence," hosted by the Chinese Association of Automation, under the theme "From Walking to Working: The Next Frontier of Intelligence." This session addresses the critical transition of humanoid robots and embodied intelligence from technical validation to large-scale industrial deployment.
It centers on three core topics: (1) breakthroughs in autonomous task execution and dexterous manipulation; (2) safe, reliable operation and system coordination in industrial environments; and (3) scenario-based validation and pathways to scalable deployment. Anticipated outcomes include the formulation of an Insight Report on Industrial Applications of Humanoid Robots and Embodied Intelligence, fostering industry-academia-research collaboration, advancing high-value application scenarios, and establishing standardized evaluation frameworks.
