Meet the Future: Robot Dogs, Humanoids, and AI Wonders

The ZGC IN-TECH CARNIVAL 2025 showcases cutting-edge AI and robotics, featuring humanoid robots, robot dogs, and groundbreaking innovations that highlight the future of technology.

Shaking hands with a robotic arm, greeting a humanoid robot, or playing with a robot dog—these are just a few of the exciting interactions at the ZGC IN-TECH CARNIVAL, held during the 2025 ZGC Forum Annual Meeting. Cutting-edge technologies are on full display, attracting visitors of all ages.

Next-Generation Robots Steal the Show

This year’s carnival showcases breakthroughs in various AI-driven fields, including embodied intelligence, generative AI, commercial aerospace, smart consumption, 3D printing, combat robots, and brain-computer interfaces. These innovations highlight the rapid evolution of the technology industry.

Stepping into the venue, visitors are immediately immersed in a world of advanced technology, where many innovations are already transitioning from concept to real-world applications.

One of the most popular attractions is Sirius, an intelligent robotic dog developed by Hengbot Innovation Limited. As the world’s first emotional companion robot, it closely mimics the appearance and behavior of a real pet dog. Beyond shaking hands, it even simulates playful actions like “peeing,” offering a unique emotional connection. It is expected to enter households soon.

Equally impressive is the Tiangong humanoid robot, created by Beijing’s National and Local Co-built Embodied AI Robotics Innovation Center. It demonstrates exceptional mobility, navigating complex terrains such as slopes, stairs, grass, gravel, and sand with ease. This showcases the potential of humanoid robots in real-world applications.

The Future of Humanoid Robots

With “embodied intelligence” included in China’s government work report this year, humanoid robots are reaching a crucial stage of technological breakthroughs and early adoption. However, experts predict that in the next decade, humanoid robots will make up only about 10% of the embodied intelligence field. Initially, these robots are expected to serve in specialized industrial environments. Once they prove their reliability in these settings, they will gradually enter households and daily life.

Perhaps, shortly, humanoid robots will be as common as cars and smartphones, seamlessly integrating into everyday life.
