At the 2025 Spring Canton Fair, the most eye-catching thing is the wave of innovation in the fields of artificial intelligence and industrial automation. From bionic humanoid collaborative robots, agricultural harvesters, to medical rehabilitation robots, photovoltaic cleaning robots, a series of high-tech and practical smart products were unveiled, fully demonstrating the export strength and global potential of “China Smart Manufacturing”. As a professional foreign trade procurement service platform Your One-Stop Solution for Direct Factory Sourcing, we visited the exhibition site as soon as possible and selected key product types with export advantages for reference by global buyers and OEM customers.
Industrial humanoid collaborative robots and dexterous robotic arms
In the industrial automation sector, collaborative robots (Cobots) and high-degree-of-freedom robotic arms have become highlights. These robots are not only compact and flexible in deployment, but more importantly, they can safely collaborate with humans to complete tasks such as palletizing, assembly, welding, and sorting. They are widely used in smart factories and automation upgrades for small and medium-sized enterprises.
It is worth mentioning the rapid popularization of dexterous robotic hands, which simulate human hand movements and can flexibly grasp objects of various shapes and materials. They are suitable for delicate scenes such as 3C assembly, food processing, and laboratory automation. This type of “flexible end effector” is becoming a new direction that overseas buyers are paying close attention to.
Service robots are rapidly being commercialized
China’s service robots have moved from exhibition halls to daily use, especially hotel food delivery robots, which attracted a large number of overseas buyers at this Canton Fair. This type of robot can automatically identify elevator floors and room numbers, and quickly and accurately deliver food and goods to guests’ doors. It is widely used in hotels, apartments, hospitals and other scenarios, and has formed a mature industrial chain in China.
In addition, automatic coffee making robots and smart coffee vending machines also attracted attention at the exhibition. They complete coffee grinding, brewing, and latte art through fully automatic operation, combined with touch screen ordering and mobile payment, and become an “unmanned beverage solution” for airports, shopping malls, and office buildings.
Agricultural and garden automation robots show great potential
As global agricultural labor costs rise, agricultural harvesting robots have become an important trend in agricultural automation. The smart harvester on display can identify the maturity of fruits, achieve gentle picking and complete preliminary sorting, and is suitable for a variety of crops such as strawberries, apples, tomatoes, etc.
Smart mowing robots have also attracted attention, especially for home gardens, gardening companies and golf courses. Through GPS navigation and terrain sensing, they can autonomously plan paths, complete pruning tasks around the clock, save energy and protect the environment, and support remote control.
Medical and rehabilitation robots are becoming increasingly sophisticated
The number of robot exhibits in the medical and health sector has increased significantly, reflecting the rapid development of China’s medical robot manufacturing industry. Some companies showcased surgical as2sistance robots and hospital medication delivery robots with practical clinical application potential, supporting path planning and voice interaction. In the rehabilitation field, the exhibition highlighted the following:
Super V Physical Therapy Robot: Combining infrared, electrotherapy, and mechanical massage modules, it is widely used in rehabilitation centers and physical therapy clinics.
Pulse Wave Therapy Robot: Utilizing focused energy waves for deep tissue treatment, it offers functions such as body shaping, muscle relaxation, and features visual treatment pathways and remote diagnostic capabilities.
Intelligent logistics, emergency rescue, and cleaning robots
In addition to mainstream products, some special-purpose robots also stole the show at the exhibition:
Intelligent sorting robots: Mainly used in e-commerce warehouses, logistics centers, etc., these robots are equipped with visual recognition, path planning, and object recognition capabilities, which can greatly improve parcel processing efficiency.
Four-legged rescue robots: Modeled after the four-legged structure of animals, these robots have excellent obstacle-crossing capabilities and are suitable for emergency search and rescue in complex environments such as earthquakes and fires. They can be equipped with cameras, sensors, medical kits, and other gear, with some models featuring infrared night vision and voice-controlled remote operation.
Pool Cleaning Robots: Specifically designed for swimming pools and water feature projects, these robots feature underwater suction, wall cleaning, and filtration capabilities, making them suitable for scenarios such as villas, hotels, and fitness centers. They are easy to operate and require no manual intervention.
Photovoltaic Cleaning and Green Energy Maintenance Robots
In the energy and environmental protection sector, automated photovoltaic cleaning robots emerged as a standout product at this year’s Canton Fair, particularly attracting attention from clients in the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia. These robots are suitable for large-scale photovoltaic power plants, rooftop photovoltaic systems, and mountainous photovoltaic installations, capable of regularly cleaning dust, bird droppings, sand particles, and other debris, thereby effectively increasing power generation efficiency by over 10%.
Some manufacturers offer both tracked and trackless versions, equipped with solar power systems and remote control modules. They support customization of control systems and voice modules according to customer requirements, making them suitable for bulk procurement by global EPC companies and operators.
