BEIJING, Aug. 12 (Xinhua) — At the ongoing 2025 World Robot Conference (WRC) in Beijing, international experts praised China's leading role in the global robotics industry and predicted significant growth in the future.
Jeff Bernstein, president of the American Association for the Advancement of Automation, predicted further expansion of the robotics sector in China.
“China is the world’s largest consumer of traditional robots, and if the humanoid robot market develops as expected, then innovation through investment will lead to more humanoid robots,” he said.
J. Bernstein emphasized that robotics is designed to transform jobs, not take them over. In his view, robots perform routine, dirty, and dangerous tasks, allowing people to do higher-paying, safer, and more prosperous work.
The five-day conference kicked off on Friday and features forums, exhibitions, competitions and workshops to share experiences, attracting more than 200 robotics companies and enterprises from around the world. The event’s exhibition stands showcase the latest models of humanoid robots, wheeled robots, collaborative robots, four-legged and six-legged robot dogs, as well as newly developed models with embodied intelligence.
According to J. Bernstein, events like these foster collaboration, spur innovation and help bring industry stakeholders together to agree on common goals.
Massimiliano Zecca, a professor at Loughborough University in the UK, noted China’s dominance in manufacturing, calling it “clearly the largest manufacturing country in the world” with outstanding robot capabilities. He stressed that he had seen this first-hand, adding that each year WRC exhibitors introduce several new models, not just one.
Mr Zecca called for cooperation between China and the UK, stressing the need for joint efforts to develop open standards and shared data sets. In his speech on robotics in elderly care, he noted that the sector could be a testing ground for cooperation between the two countries.
Vice President of euRobotics Juha Roning called China “the largest market for robots” due to its widespread use in industry. He described China’s achievements in robotics as “miraculous”, given its advances in artificial intelligence and robotics.
He also stressed the need for greater cooperation between Europe and China in the robotics supply chain. “I think if we can work together, it will be good for everyone,” he said.
NVIDIA Vice President of Omniverse and Simulation Technologies Rev Lebaredian noted in his speech that China has critical elements to launch the next technological revolution in robotics.
China has the world's largest pool of computer science and artificial intelligence graduates, he said, and unique advantages in developing physical-world technologies that allow it to produce robots that are both cost-effective and high-performance — capabilities that other countries do not have, he said.
Moreover, China's vast manufacturing ecosystem enables not only mass production but also rapid deployment and iteration based on real-world data collection, Rev Lebaredian added.
With the main theme of “Making robots more intelligent and embodied intelligent systems smarter,” the World Conference on Robotics 2025 was jointly organized by the China Institute of Electronics and the World Robotics Cooperation Organization. -0-
