The 2026 Appliance & Electronics World Expo (AWE2026) was held in Shanghai. Unlike previous years, AWE launched its first-ever “Innovative Technology Zone” this year, bringing together a host of renowned embodied intelligence companies. For the first time, robots have become one of the main highlights at AWE.
Judging from the dense crowds of visitors, embodied intelligence booths were extremely popular and became the focal point of the entire exhibition. The enthusiasm at this year’s event reflects the industry trend of accelerated adoption of embodied intelligence across various sectors and faster industrialization, as well as the growing market trend of rising consumer acceptance and expectations for intelligent robotic products.
For participating companies, therefore, this event was not only a product showcase but also a critical opportunity to seize the industry’s momentum, connect with upstream and downstream resources, and achieve commercial implementation.
So which companies stood out at AWE2026 and earned widespread attention from both inside and outside the industry?
