On Aug 19th, the 2026 World Robot Conference (WRC) kicked off in Beijing. A review of the exhibitor list shows that 34 Guangdong companies are among the country's first-tier participants. Covering AI algorithms and digital twins, 3D vision, tactile sensing and precision lead screws and other core components, as well as complete humanoid robots, embodied intelligence platforms and applications in industry, warehousing and specialized operations, Guangdong has presented a complete supply chain covering upstream components, midstream robot systems and downstream applications.

The distribution of Guangdong companies across the exhibition halls at this year's WRC clearly demonstrates this industrial foundation. In Hall C, Guangdong companies are concentrated in core robotic components, covering areas such as power batteries, 3D vision, edge computing, 5G communications, flexible grippers and safety sensors. Hall D further extends into specialized fields such as planetary roller screws, servo power units, precision motors and legged robots.

Guangdong's vast manufacturing system provides robots with a rich "testing ground." Some companies have already begun moving from technology demonstrations toward commercialization. Astribot, for example, has expanded its products into fields including scientific research, commercial services, entertainment performances and industry, while developing cooperation with overseas embodied intelligence companies around data and models.

Guangdong's future goal is to cultivate a number of platform companies capable of defining product roadmaps, mastering core technologies, and connecting global supply chains with application markets. From AI algorithms to 3D vision, from power batteries to servo motors, from dexterous hands and tactile sensors to planetary roller screws, and from complete humanoid robots to manufacturing applications, Guangdong is integrating its capabilities accumulated over the past several decades in electronic information, advanced manufacturing and industrial supply chains into the robotics industry.

2026世界机器人大会开幕，粤企亮出“一条链”

8月19日，2026世界机器人大会在北京拉开帷幕。记者梳理此次大会参展名录发现，34家粤企跻身全国第一梯队。从AI算法与数字孪生，到3D视觉、触觉传感、精密丝杠等核心零部件，再到人形机器人整机、具身智能平台与工业、仓储、特种作业应用，广东拿出的是“上游零部件—中游本体—下游场景”的闭环样本。

从此次世界机器人大会上广东企业的展馆分布看，这种产业基础表现得十分明显。C馆内广东企业集中在机器人核心基础零部件领域，覆盖动力电池、3D视觉、边缘计算、5G通信、柔性夹爪、安全传感器等环节；D馆则进一步延伸至行星滚柱丝杠、伺服动力单元、精密电机和足式机器人等细分领域。

广东庞大的制造业体系，为机器人提供了丰富的“练兵场”。一些企业已经开始从技术演示走向实际商业化。以星尘智能为例，其产品已经向科研、商业服务、文娱演出和工业等领域拓展，并围绕数据和模型与海外具身智能企业开展合作。

广东未来的目标是形成若干能够定义产品路线、掌握核心技术、连接全球供应链和应用市场的平台型企业。从AI算法到3D视觉，从动力电池到伺服电机，从灵巧手、触觉传感器到行星滚柱丝杠，从人形机器人整机到制造业应用，广东正在把过去几十年积累的电子信息、先进制造和产业链配套能力，重新组合进机器人产业。
