China Showcases Advanced Humanoid Robots at Hong Kong InnoEx Fair
At the InnoEx technology fair in Hong Kong, Chinese firms displayed over 100 humanoid robots, highlighting advancements in artificial intelligence and synthetic skin. Major manufacturers, including Unitree, EngineAI, AgiBot, and UBTech, demonstrated capabilities ranging from boxing and dancing to providing emotional support and guided tours. Unitree’s G1 robot engaged visitors in boxing matches, while EngineAI’s PM01 performed acrobatic dances. Novautek presented robots designed for educational and companionship roles, leveraging large model technology for continuous learning. Industry representatives emphasized China’s competitive advantages, such as low-cost engineering and open knowledge exchange, contrasting this with the protective practices of Western firms. The event underscores Beijing’s strategic priority to lead in robotics, part of a broader technological rivalry with the United States. With over 140 manufacturers and 330 models recorded in 2025, China is accelerating mass production and development to target scientific frontiers. The fair, part of Hong Kong’s Business of Innovation and Technology Week, illustrates the rapid evolution of humanoid robots from industrial tools to interactive social companions.
