The 2026 World Robot Conference (WRC) is in full swing in Beijing's E‑Town. Coinciding with the conference, Xinhua News Agency has, for the first time, introduced the concept of the "Shenzhen Cycle," offering insights into the driving forces behind Shenzhen's pursuit of greater self-reliance and strength in science and technology. The acceleration of industrial deployment and close coordination among upstream and downstream companies are the most visible manifestations of the "Shenzhen Cycle."

At this year's exhibition, Shenzhen is represented by 28 exhibitors, accounting for about 7.5% of the total domestic participants, forming a complete industrial loop from core components to full humanoid robots. It covers nearly the entire humanoid‑robot industrial chain,making it an important window for observing the domestic robotics industry. Wang Qian, founder of X Square Robot, noted that the application of robots in productivity scenarios is a direction pursued by companies both at home and abroad. Some overseas peers took two and a half years to deploy robots on real production lines, while X Square Robot accomplished it in just three months, thanks to the strong generalization and foundational capabilities of its base model.

The vitality of the "Shenzhen Cycle" also lies in the close coordination and rapid response of small and medium-sized enterprises across the industrial chain. When the Shunan Bamboo Sea scenic area in Yibin, Sichuan, urgently sought to introduce a high-tech cultural tourism project, Wangxing Robot quickly developed a customized robot theater solution after receiving the project requirements. The solution featured robots from LimX Dynamics, while the company simultaneously completed the design of the performance script and development of customized algorithms. From initial requirements matching and solution customization to the deployment and live demo of the robots, the entire process took less than a week. Today, Shenzhen has established a comprehensive, multi-tiered robotics industry ecosystem.

在世界机器人大会现场读懂 “深圳周期”

2026世界机器人大会（WRC）在北京亦庄火热举行。大会同期，新华社首次提出“深圳周期”概念，解读深圳科技自立自强的发展密码。产业落地效率的提速和上下游企业的精密协同就是“深圳周期”的直观体现。

本届展会上，深圳共有28家参展，占全国参展企业总数约7.5%，形成从核心零部件到人形整机的完整产业闭环。几乎覆盖人形机器人全产业链条，成为观察国内机器人产业发展的重要窗口。自变量机器人创始人王潜介绍，机器人在生产力场景中的应用是海内外企业努力的方向，有的海外同行落地机器人用于真实工业产线的场景花了两年半，而自变量机器人只用了三个月。这得益于基座模型强大泛化性和基础能力。

“深圳周期”的生命力，还藏在产业链上下游中小企业的精密协同与快速响应之中。四川宜宾蜀南竹海全新景区亟需引入高科技文旅项目，对接需求后，汪星人科技迅速定制专属机器人剧场方案，搭载逐际动力机器人，同步完成表演脚本设计与专属算法开发。从需求对接、方案定制到机器人落地展演，全程耗时不足一周。如今的深圳，已形成全方位、多层次的机器人产业布局。
