On March 25th, the opening ceremony and plenary session of the 2026 Zhongguancun Forum (ZGC Forum) Annual Conference were held in Beijing. Themed "Deep Integration of Technological and Industrial Innovation," this year's forum championed the philosophy of a "technology-empowered conference." By deeply integrating cutting-edge technological achievements into every aspect of the event, it offered a compelling preview of future work and lifestyles.

The most eye-catching highlight on-site was undoubtedly the large-scale deployment of embodied AI robots. A "robot bar" collaboratively operated by multiple robot brands was in full swing. A RoboSpace robot mixed beverages, a Qianxun robot prepared candied hawthorn skewers (tanghulu), and a Leju robot handled food delivery. The entire process required zero human intervention, relying solely on a unified "robot brain" to execute global task scheduling. Furthermore, the Lingxin Qiaoshou robot band and the Galbot dancing robot delivered a joint performance, while the classic service robot "Xiaoguan" returned with upgraded smart features, infusing the high-tech experience with warmth and amusement.

Communication barriers were completely broken down by new technologies. This year, the forum's AI "translators" received a comprehensive upgrade, expanding their support to eight languages. The AR translation glasses showcased by LLVision were particularly impressive. Co-developed with Microsoft, this 49-gram device supports real-time two-way translation across more than 140 languages with a latency as low as 0.5 seconds, making cross-lingual communication as seamless as natural face-to-face interaction.

In terms of interactive experiences, attendees could utilize AI real-time rendering technology to generate custom refrigerator magnets, or automatically receive personalized conference vlogs via smart editing. The forum also marked the debut of a novel "gel ice and snow" material—capable of instantly dissipating heat from electronic devices—which was utilized to create custom "Ice Xiaoguan" cultural and creative merchandise.

2026中关村论坛年会开幕 机器人“浓度”再创新高

3月25日，2026中关村论坛年会开幕式暨全体会议在京举行。本届论坛以“科技创新与产业创新深度融合”为主题，全程贯穿“科技办会”理念，将前沿科技成果深度融入会议全流程，打造了一场未来工作与生活方式的预演。

现场最引人注目的莫过于具身智能机器人的“组团上岗”。一个由多品牌机器人协同运营的“机器人餐吧”火热营业：乐博机器人调制饮品，千寻机器人制作糖葫芦，乐聚机器人负责送餐。全程无需人工干预，仅凭统一的“机器人大脑”即可实现全局任务调度。此外，灵心巧手机器人乐队与银河通用舞蹈机器人联袂献艺，经典服务机器人“小关”也智慧返场，让科技体验充满温度与趣味。

沟通障碍被新技术彻底打破。今年论坛AI“翻译官”全面升级，支持语种扩至8种。北京亮亮视野展示的AR翻译眼镜尤为亮眼，这款仅重49克、与微软联合研发的设备，支持140多种语言实时互译，延迟低至0.5秒，让跨语言交流如面对面般顺畅。

互动体验方面，参会者可利用AI实时渲染技术生成专属冰箱贴，或通过智能剪辑自动获得个人参会Vlog。论坛还首次引入可为电子设备即时散热的凝胶冰雪新材料，并据此定制“冰小关”文创。
