World Robot Conference 2026: China's first robot consumer street blends tech, food, and shopping
这条街有多好逛？
The 2026 World Robot Conference in Beijing, running from August 19 to 23, has for the first time set up a dedicated 'robot consumer street.' The indoor-outdoor zone hosts over 100 vendor stalls, mixing robot-run food stands, AI health diagnostics, and cultural merchandise. Organizers frame it as a push to turn robots from exhibition pieces into everyday consumer products, with direct user feedback feeding back into product development.
