The 2026 World Robot Conference (WRC) held a thematic event on embodied intelligence on August 20 at the Beijing Yichuang International Conference Center. Organized by the Lide Robot Platform, the event brought together experts, entrepreneurs, and investors to discuss various topics including model evaluation, humanoid robot paradigms, and safety boundaries in the industry.
This conference is significant as it addresses the urgent need for a unified evaluation standard in embodied intelligence, highlighted by the introduction of the ET Benchmark, a systematic evaluation standard developed by leading Chinese universities. The event also showcased the successful international expansion of Shanghai Sotai Wujie Technology Co., which signed a contract with a major European supermarket chain, demonstrating the practical application of embodied intelligence in real-world scenarios.
Looking ahead, the focus will be on overcoming data bottlenecks and enhancing the safety of embodied robots. Companies like Suzhou Tangyuan Technology and Lingdi Technology are working on innovative solutions to improve data collection and simulation capabilities. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
