ChongqingMay 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — 2026 is widely recognized by the industry as the “practical year” for the comprehensive explosion and deep implementation of “embodied intelligence” in industrial manufacturing. As artificial intelligence’s computing power transcends virtual boundaries, growing a “steel body” and stepping into the physical world, an industrial storm reshaping traditional manufacturing is already underway.
Against this backdrop, the 26th Lijia International Intelligent Equipment Exhibition (referred to as the 2026 Lijia Exhibition) will grandly launch with “embodied intelligence” as its core engine. Breaking the boundaries of traditional equipment exhibitions, this edition will present a complete ecosystem chain from underlying algorithms, machine vision, and core components to host applications. It is not only a showcase for cutting-edge technology but also a premier industry event where embodied intelligence deeply converges with real-world industrial scenarios!
[Hardcore Host Camp] AI Grows a “Body,” Deeply Empowering Industrial Scenarios
The true value of embodied intelligence lies in its “practical capability” in unmanned factories and complex production lines. This exhibition focuses on leading companies in the host and control fields, showcasing the perfect integration of AI brains and physical bodies.
At the event, renowned companies such as Unitree Robotics, Yuejiang Technology, Rokae, Xinje Electric, and Qinfeng Robotics will also compete on the same stage. Rokae will demonstrate its breakthrough flexible force control technology, giving robots a delicate sense of touch akin to human hands in precision assembly. Yuejiang Technology will present its latest application scenarios in lightweight collaboration, enabling seamless human-machine collaboration. Xinje, meanwhile, will showcase its full-stack automation control system synergized with embodied intelligence, providing a smarter and more efficient “central nervous system” for flexible manufacturing.
[Industry Chain Collaboration] Bestowing “Sharp Eyes” and “Strong Bones”
The efficient operation of embodied intelligence relies heavily on the robust support of upstream precision sensors and core transmission components. The 2026 Lijia Exhibition deeply understands this trend and makes full industry chain collaboration a highlight.
“Sharp Eyes” to Understand Complex Vision: Leading machine vision companies such as SICK and DeepSight will all be present. They will endow robots with “3D spatial perception” and “millisecond-level decision-making” capabilities through cutting-edge technologies like high-precision 3D vision guidance and AI-based detection of complex defects, giving embodied intelligence a keen eye in chaotic grasping and complex quality control.
“Strong Bones” to Support High-Frequency Operation: The precision and lifespan of actions depend on joints. Core component companies such as Zhongji Kemei, Yintai, RuiJian, and Fuke will showcase high-precision reducers, ball screws, guide rails, and robot grippers. They have thoroughly addressed the precision degradation issues of embodied intelligence under high-load operation, demonstrating a comprehensive breakthrough in the lifespan and precision of core components in “Intelligent Manufacturing in China.”
[National Pillars] “First Set” Equipment Stuns with Debut, Showcasing National-Level Hardcore Strength
Notably, this exhibition has specially set up a “First Set of Major Technical Equipment Achievements Zone,” where the “National Heavy Equipment” representing the highest level of China’s equipment manufacturing industry will be unveiled.
Among them, AUBO Robotics will showcase its national-level technological breakthroughs in embodied intelligence innovation platforms and collaborative robots, demonstrating the hardcore confidence of domestic robots. Meanwhile, Zhongke Yaolu Boat, renowned as the “National Team of Machine Vision,” will also make a grand appearance with its first set of equipment, directly tackling the “bottleneck” problems in industrial inspection and setting a benchmark for the localization of high-end intelligent equipment. Visitors to the Lijia Exhibition site will witness these backbone equipment supporting national manufacturing firsthand.
[Thought Feast] Four High-Level Conferences to Gauge the Industry’s Future
The exhibition is not only an arena for hardcore equipment but also a top-tier think tank for finding technological answers and industry trends. Concurrently with the 2026 Lijia Exhibition, multiple high-level forums focusing on “Industry-Academia-Research-Application of Embodied Intelligence” will be launched, gathering bigwigs from Tsinghua University, Huazhong CNC, and Zhiyuan Robotics from the government, industry, academia, and research sectors to precisely answer your questions and dispel doubts:
World Action Model and Embodied Native Large Model Technology Lecture, held on the afternoon of May 29 — Anchoring the “Frontier Brain.” The scene will reveal the “GPT-3.5 moment” of embodied intelligence! Experts from Tsinghua University’s Institute for Interdisciplinary Information Sciences and CTOs of AI startups will present the latest VLA (Vision-Language-Action) large model achievements. This lecture, tailored for AI developers and technology executives, will take you to witness the leap of robots from “skill reuse” to “intelligent emergence.”
2026 Embodied Intelligent Robot Key Component Manufacturing Technology Exchange Conference, held on the afternoon of May 28 — Anchoring the “Hardcore Joints.” As embodied intelligence accelerates toward scale, the key constraint lies in the execution end. The conference specially invites government authorities, Qingshan Industrial, Unite High-Precision, and Unite Grinding, among other bigwigs, to focus on key directions such as precision machining processes, automated production line solutions, ultra-precision grinding technology, and intelligent inspection equipment, driving innovation and breakthroughs in the manufacturing technology of key components for embodied intelligence.
2026 9th Mechanical Manufacturing Engineer Technology Exchange Conference, held on the afternoon of May 28 — Anchoring “Frontline Practice.” Closely aligned with the national key industrial layout and Chongqing’s “33618” advanced manufacturing cluster construction, it directly addresses the practical pain points of manufacturing enterprises in production line upgrades. Invited industry academicians, Chongqing Mechanical & Electrical, and Hexagon, among other senior technical experts, will offer “prescriptions” on topics such as advanced manufacturing technology, industrial applications of additive manufacturing, and complex human-machine collaboration. Breaking down industry-academia-research barriers, it provides practical digital and intelligent transformation solutions for frontline engineers and factory managers.
2026 Chengdu-Chongqing Dual-City Economic Circle Vocational Education Collaborative Development Alliance Annual Conference and Embodied Intelligence High-End Forum, held all day on May 30 — Anchoring the “Talent Ecosystem.” What new types of skilled talent will the unmanned factories of the future require? The conference specially invites industry leaders such as Huazhong CNC Chairman Chen Jihong and Zhiyuan Robotics to explore new pathways for “core technology self-reliance and co-cultivation of intelligent craftsmen.” In addition to in-depth dialogues on the frontiers of high-end CNC and inspection technology, participants will also conduct immersive visits to local intelligent manufacturing benchmark factories. Government, schools, enterprises, and research institutes gather together to solve the era’s challenge of the disconnect between talent cultivation and enterprise needs.
