ROBOTECH – Embodied Robotics Technology & Application Expo 2026Dates, Registration & Visitor Guide

What is ROBOTECH – Embodied Robotics Technology & Application Expo?

ROBOTECH is a robotics show built around what the Chinese industry now calls embodied intelligence: robots with an AI "brain" that can see, decide and physically handle things. The government think-tank CCID (China Center for Information Industry Development) is the host, and CCID Media and RX China run it. It sits inside RX's ITWA industrial cluster at Shenzhen World in late October, so it shares Halls 9–16 and one visitor badge with NEPCON ASIA, S-FACTORY, VisionChina, Automotive World China and the display and materials shows. Shenzhen World's own calendar lists it as the Asia Embodied Robotics Application & Supply Chain Expo.

The floor covers complete robots and the supply chain behind them. On the robot side you will find humanoids, quadrupeds, wheeled and mobile manipulators, exoskeletons, bionic machines and special-purpose robots for inspection or hazardous work. The supply-chain side has joints, reducers, bearings, sensors and materials, AI algorithms, testing and certification bodies, contract manufacturers and the integrators who adapt robots for a specific job. Names the organiser lists for 2026 include Unitree, Leju, DEEP Robotics, ROKAE, Shenhao, NSK and harmonic-reducer maker Laifual.

The show sorts its content into three use cases: industrial work (palletising, handling, electronics assembly), commercial services (hotels, retail, catering) and special operations such as power-plant inspection, mining, chemical sites and emergency response. Live demos, robot competitions and service-robot stations (bartending and coffee) run on the floor. The organiser also posts buyers' purchasing requests before the show, from humanoid co-workers to patrol robot dogs, and arranges one-to-one supplier meetings.

The programme is billed as the Embodied Intelligence Robotics Industry Development Conference. Across the three days, two on-floor theatres host forums on supply-chain collaboration, industrial deployment, commercial service robots, extreme-environment robots, product design and simulation, and training robot technicians, plus a Greater Bay Area robotics innovation forum with an awards ceremony. Factory visits, including Flexiv, are offered during the show.

For anyone following Shenzhen's robot boom, this is a compact place to compare hardware, find component suppliers and hear how companies are actually putting humanoids and quadrupeds to work, a day's walk from the Bao'an factories that could build them.
