    🤖 What if you could open up a humanoid robot —

       and hold every part that makes it see, think, and move?

    May 26 · Shanghai · The components, the engineers, the technology —

    plus live humanoid robots and robot dogs on the floor.

    All in one room.

    ——

    📌 What to Expect

    • 10+ leading Chinese embodied intelligence component companies

    • 8 of them showing hardware live — not slides

    • Morning tech talks · Afternoon industry forum · All-day floor

    📍 Alibaba Center Hongqiao · T2-6F · Shanghai

    📅 Tuesday, May 26, 2026 · 09:30 — 17:00

    🚗 China is doing to humanoids what it did to EVs — faster.

    In 15 years, China turned electric vehicles from concept to

    50%+ market penetration. Along the way, it built CATL, BYD,

    Huichuan Technology — trillion-yuan companies most foreign

    analysts didn't see coming.

    Humanoid robots are next. And the cycle will be shorter.

    · 2023 — MIIT roadmap: mass production by 2025, scale by 2027

    · 2024 — Humanoid robots listed as flagship future-industry equipment

    · 2025 — "Embodied intelligence" enters the Government Work Report

    Meanwhile, deployment has already begun:

    UBTECH humanoid robots are now training in BYD factories.

    BYD is hiring its own embodied AI team.

    The validation field for robots is shifting —

    from demo stages to actual factory floors.

    ——

    💎 Why components matter more than whole robots

    A decade ago, foreign analysts dismissed Chinese EV as

    "swap engine for battery." They underestimated the battery,

    the powertrain, the motor, the thermal management.

    They missed the trillion-yuan supply chain.

    Today, the same mistake is being made with humanoids.

    The real industrial variable isn't whether a robot looks human —

    it's whether it can work reliably in a human world.

    The next CATL of the robotics era might be a Chinese

    joint-module company you've never heard of.

    The next Huichuan Technology might be a Chinese motion-control

    startup that's been quietly shipping for years.

    You can't pick the winners from outside the country.

    You have to come see who's actually shipping hardware.

    🛠 What's on the floor — 8 Chinese hardware leaders

    · Daimon Robotics — a sense of touch in its fingers

    · YIMU Intelligence — data collection and practice notebook

    · Arfysica Innovation — mind remote / neural plug-in

    · Sight Tower Robotics — nerve endings on a robot's skin

    · DOBOT — collaborative arms where intentions become motion

    · Ti5 Robot — joints, muscles, and tendons

    · MetoAk — not just seeing, but understanding

    · Daisch — IMU sensors (the robot's "inner ear")

    Every product is on a table. Every founder or CTO is in the room.

    Bring your toughest engineering questions.

    🎤 4 conversations worth flying for

    ❶ Is tactile sensing the next battlefield?

       Zhang Dong · Partner & CBO, Daimon Robotics

       "Touching the Future of Physical AI——The Infrastructure for Dexterous Intelligence"

    ❷ Can your mind control a robot directly?

       Jin Hui · VP, Arfysica Innovation

       "Brain-Computer Interfaces Meet Embodied Intelligence"

    ❸ Manufacturing World Models: The Frontier Layer of Physical AI

       Linda Hong Cheng · Founder & CEO, Lychee Labs

       (Oxford AI Scholar · Clarendon Award)

       Moderating "Manufacturing World Models: The Frontier of Physical AI"

       with Dennis G. Zelazowski (CEO, 3DNA),

            Yingchen Liu (Feagine Robotics),

            Qiyang Hou (Energy Storage × AI),

            Ping Yuan (Shanghai Metals Market)

    ❹ How does the supply chain unlock embodied AI?

       Green Harmonic × Ruyi Power × YIMU Intelligence

       Where are the real bottlenecks — execution, decision,

       or perception?

    🏛 On-site: senior representatives from Maqiao AI Innovation 

       Pilot Zone — Shanghai's flagship embodied intelligence 

       district — sharing firsthand insights on China's technology

       policy direction and Shanghai's industrial roadmap.

    Opening remarks: Zhao Lili · Chairman,

    Maqiao AI Innovation Pilot Zone (Shanghai Government)
