CHONGQING, Sept. 9 (Xinhua) — At the 2025 World Intelligent Industry Expo, many visitors flocked to the booth of Agile Robots to watch the precise movements of a robotic arm on the waist of a visitor who wanted a massage.

Using sensors to detect muscle tension and apply the perfect pressure for massage, the robotic arm elicited gasps of amazement: “Her technique is even better than that of a trained massage therapist!”

The wellness robot “Dabai,” developed by Beijing-based Agile Robots, is equipped with tactile sensors and artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms and can provide professional massage services.

The exhibition, which was held from September 5 to 8, was dedicated to the themes of “AI” and “Intelligent Connected Cars with New Energy Sources.” It brought together more than 600 domestic and foreign enterprises, which displayed over 3,000 innovative achievements in the field of intelligent industry.

A special highlight of the exhibition area was the various types of smart robots aimed at ordinary Chinese households.

“The physical therapy industry depends on the skills of the therapist and faces problems such as long training periods and high turnover,” said Zhang Mingfeng, an employee of Agile Robots. “The key to solving the industry’s bottlenecks is standardization of products and services.”

Zhang Mingfeng added that Dabai can identify individual meridians and acupuncture points. “Based on big data and AI algorithms, the robot provides automated physical therapy with precise targeting of acupuncture points and control of pressure force just like a professional physical therapist,” he said.

From humanoid robots that can sing and dance to floor cleaning machines and electronic pets, a variety of cutting-edge devices are now entering the everyday lives of ordinary Chinese people. These products, once available only in factories and labs, are now helping to improve people's daily lives.

“Robots are not cold machines in steel shells. We aim to create human-centric technologies that help,” said Xi Ee, brand director of one of the industrial innovation parks in Chongqing.

At the show, it showcased several innovative products, including a Braille reader, a smart sleep light with contactless health monitoring, a modular lawn mowing robot, and an electric camper that also serves as a mobile charging station.

“These innovative products cover scenarios such as home use, healthcare and outdoor activities as smart robots meet diversifying consumer demand,” added Si E.

These innovations are underpinned by the steady growth of China’s intelligent robot industry. According to data from the 2025 World Robot Conference, China has remained the world’s largest industrial robot market for 12 consecutive years. Meanwhile, the production volume of service robots exceeded 10.5 million units in 2024, representing a year-on-year increase of 34.3 percent.

According to a Morgan Stanley report, China's robotics market size is expected to grow from US$47 billion in 2024 to US$108 billion by 2028, with the service robot market growing at a CAGR of 25 percent.

The children's laughter in the exhibition hall was the best confirmation of the ability of technology to improve everyday life.

"My daughter is very interested in this desktop robot pet and we are planning to buy one for her," said Li Qing, who visited the exhibition with her six-year-old daughter.

They were drawn to the adorable kitten-like robot, which can converse and display a lot of emotions, and also acts as a teaching assistant and delightful companion.

China's robotics industry is accelerating its development toward mass production and lower production costs, while building a complete supply chain from design to assembly.

“This product in the 1,000 yuan price segment makes smart robots more affordable to households, which helps such technologies penetrate into the lives of ordinary people more easily,” explained a staff member at the showroom. -0-
