Humanoid robots and flying vehicles pack Tianjin's World Intelligence Expo

The 2026 World Intelligence Expo is underway at the National Convention and Exhibition Center (Tianjin) and runs through the weekend, drawing big crowds eager to explore cutting‑edge tech and hands‑on fun.

Covering 130,000 square meters, the expo features one main hall and six themed zones: core artificial intelligence, embodied intelligence, smart connected vehicles, low‑altitude economy, smart manufacturing, and smart living. More than 740 enterprises are displaying the latest innovations, including humanoid robots, flying vehicles, AI models, and smart home gadgets.

A dedicated embodied intelligence pavilion displays nearly 150 kinds of robots, while a "Robot Town" shows how machines work in daily life, manufacturing, and care services. Visitors can enjoy test drives, drone displays, robot performances, and interactive games.

The public days have seen a strong turnout, with families and tech fans packing the halls. Many popular areas have become photo spots. Visitor numbers are expected to peak this weekend.
