【#Tech24H】At the 2026 World Robot Conference, all domestic embodied AI companies took the stage, as the industry shifts away from mere motion demonstrations toward the competitive race of “robots truly getting to work”. Robot manufacturers and upstream perception companies are iterating side by side: on one hand, core hardware such as tactile sensors and electronic skin are accelerating breakthroughs to fill the gaps in physical interaction; on the other hand, companies are reevaluating commercialization metrics, no longer solely chasing shipment numbers, but placing greater emphasis on realscenario value, revenue and profit, and closedloop data capability. From industrial production to home companionship, from hardware modules to dataset construction, the track presents both opportunities and bottlenecks. The timeline for industrial deployment and humanrobot coexistence is gradually becoming clearer, and the industry has reached a critical juncture transitioning from technical verification to commercial implementation.[ By Zhang Liyan | Tang Ruohan ]
