展会简介
The Exhibition Value of the Shanghai International Robot Exhibition (RS)
- The World’s Premier Robotics Industry Show: As a core specialized exhibition under the China International Industrial Fair (CIIF), RS is the largest global event in the robotics sector, boasting the highest number of exhibiting companies, the most concentrated participation by leading industrial robot manufacturers, and the richest showcase of real-world application scenarios. In 2026, the exhibition will span 56,000 square meters, bringing together over 350 industry-leading enterprises from nearly 30 countries and regions, and attracting more than 70,000 professional visitors. Alongside Germany’s automatica and Japan’s iREX, it is recognized as one of the world’s three major robotics exhibitions.
- A Global Resource‑Linking Hub: The show gathers the “Big Four” — ABB, FANUC, Yaskawa Electric, and KUKA — alongside domestic leaders such as Syntec, Estun, JAKA, and Aubo, marking the first-ever global convergence of these four giants with Shanghai’s “Four Pillars.” Foreign brands account for over 40% of the exhibition space, representing more than ten countries and regions, including Germany, Japan, Switzerland, Denmark, and Sweden. Among the over 300 exhibitors, 136 are specialized, refined, distinctive, and innovative enterprises, 51 are “Little Giant” firms, and 7 are unicorn companies.
- Comprehensive Coverage Across the Entire Industry Chain: Exhibits comprehensively cover six major segments: complete industrial robots (welding, painting, palletizing, handling, assembly, etc.), core components (reducers, controllers, servo motors, sensors), machine vision systems, software and control technologies, mobile robots, and industry‑specific application integrations. From precision assembly lines for 3C electronics to equipment for new‑energy battery packs, upstream and downstream players achieve efficient collaboration across the entire value chain.
- A Launchpad for Cutting‑Edge Technologies: The exhibition serves as a platform for unveiling the latest global innovations. ABB debuted its IRB 6750S heavy‑duty robot and the OmniCore™ EyeMotion vision system; JAKA showcased a flexible production line integrating EVO AI with an advanced operating system; and Jetbot, in collaboration with Weiyi Intelligent Manufacturing, unveiled the TRON industrial embodied‑intelligence flexible production line. Twenty-seven humanoid robots, including Kepler’s K2 and Fourier’s GR‑3C “astronaut” model, made their collective debut. In the heavy‑load robotics segment, a clear tiered structure emerged, with Estun’s 1,200‑kg class, Yaskawa’s 1‑ton class, and Chaifu’s 5‑ton class competing on the same stage, setting a new benchmark for domestic payload capacity.
- Authoritative Empowerment Through High‑Level Forums: Concurrently held events include the China Robotics Summit and CEO Roundtable, the China (Shanghai) Forum on Intelligent Integration and Robotics Applications, and over 50 other specialized activities. Global industry leaders and academic experts engage in in-depth discussions on hot topics such as AI‑robot integration, embodied intelligence, and digital transformation, while awarding prestigious honors like the CIIF Robotics Prize. The International Forum on the Development of Embodied Intelligence Technology brought together distinguished guests, including academicians from the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences, Huawei Cloud experts, and the chief scientist of the Sino‑national Joint Center for Humanoid Robot Innovation.
- A Precise Platform for Supply‑Demand Matching: During the exhibition, global procurement‑supply matchmaking sessions were organized, with more than 20 Vietnamese buyer delegations signing contracts on site. Over 600 representatives from leading domestic buyers—including Shanghai Electric, ZTE, and China Nuclear Machinery—attended. The show also featured dedicated zones for humanoid robots and electronic manufacturing equipment, fostering a complete industry ecosystem that spans from core components through end‑product manufacturing to real‑world applications.
- Deep Empowerment Through New‑Energy Vehicles and Smart Manufacturing: With deep roots in large‑scale sectors such as automotive, electronics, and pharmaceuticals, the exhibition extends into niche areas like sanitary ware, photovoltaics, and casting. Yaskawa Electric presented a processing line for new‑energy flat‑wire motors, while JAKA demonstrated a smart production line featuring quick‑change CNC fixtures and integrated turning‑milling processes. From battery assembly for new‑energy vehicles to sterile operations in biomedicine, the exhibition vividly illustrates how robotics is empowering diverse industries.
