The conference and its application programme

World Robot Conference 2026 ran from 19 to 23 August in Beijing E-Town at the Beiren Etrong International Exhibition and Convention Center. The opening-day visitor guide separates the exhibition halls, forum rooms and competition areas. [1] [2]

A 26 August district report says the World Robot Application Scenario Exploration Plan launched during the conference. It names the World Robot Cooperation Organization and Chinese Institute of Electronics as joint organizers. [3]

The report describes an annual target of selecting 1,000 application scenarios for free robot trials and secondary development. That is a selection target, not evidence that 1,000 deployments had been completed. [3]
