A special feature of the area was the presentation of humanoid robots. Unitree Robotics and Guangzhou Li-Gong showcased significant advances in mobility, perception, and intelligence. The four-legged robots from DEEP Robotics and MagicLab also attracted a lot of attention.
International Expansion on the Horizon
Hangzhou Technik Technology Co. Ltd. presented its exoskeleton products for the first time at the Canton Fair. One of its flagship products, the EPIC-L Load Exoskeleton, attracted great interest from buyers who wanted to test it for themselves. Designed according to ergonomic principles and consisting of adjustable components, the motorless exoskeleton has been developed to reduce physical strain on workers. It is mainly used for carrying heavy loads over long distances and is well suited for firefighting, rescue operations, and moving heavy objects in industrial environments.
Lin Chenhong, Business Director at Technikin, said that the company is currently planning international expansion and is looking for new global partners at the fair to bring its solution to more countries.
Luoteng Sees Strong Buyer Interest
Luoteng's spherical robot also attracted attention at the fair. Thanks to its unique mechanism, the robot moves agilely and offers customizable modular features suitable for a wide range of dynamic applications. Its eye-catching design and advanced features attracted great interest among buyers.
Luoteng's Deputy General Manager Duan Tianye said that the exhibition booth had a steady stream of visitors during the first two days, with an estimated 10 percent of visitors being potential serious customers – a promising figure for the company.
Orthopedic Surgery
Yuanhua, meanwhile, showcased its KUNWU® robotic orthopedic surgical system, which integrates total knee arthroplasty (TKA), total hip arthroplasty (THA), and unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) on a single platform. The system operates with millimeter precision and real-time monitoring, improving the safety and efficiency of joint replacement surgery.
Furthermore, customized robotics solutions for specialized fields such as high-rise building facade maintenance, advanced manufacturing, elderly care, logistics automation, and precision agriculture highlight the increasing integration of robotics technology into everyday operating environments.
