On August 20, the 2026 World Robot Conference revealed that China's humanoid robot shipments exceeded 40,000 units in the first half of the year, capturing 97% of the global market share. The industry is transitioning from small-scale trials to regular deployment and large-scale applications.
The conference showcased over 300 companies and more than 3,000 exhibits, with 300 new products launched. A significant trend noted was the shift from 'solo operations' to 'fleet collaboration.' Feiba Technology introduced a mobile logistics base capable of supporting various robotic platforms, including humanoid robots and drones, set to enter mass production by the end of this year.
Additionally, the OneHub multi-robot collaboration system from Siasun aims to unify different robotic types under a single operational framework. The advancements in technology and collaboration strategies indicate a pivotal shift in the humanoid robot industry, moving towards collective efficiency rather than individual capabilities. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
