The event features over 2,000 exhibits and comes as robotics becomes a focal point in the U.S.-China rivalry. Unitree, a humanoid robot manufacturer, saw its shares rise nearly six-fold during its Shanghai trading debut on Wednesday. While Chinese officials have pledged support for the sector, large-scale deployment of robots remains limited to specific tasks like assembly lines and food delivery. Startups, including Lumos Robotics and the robotics division of Chery Automobile, are reportedly considering stock market listings following the sector's recent surge in investor interest.
