Following the Guangzhou International Intelligent Robot Exhibition (IRE 2025), which sparked tech excitement with its dynamic demonstrations in May, Guangzhou is once again welcoming a major robotics industry event: the 2025 Asian Robotics Conference and Exhibition (ARCE 2025), which will open at the Guangzhou International Sourcing Center from December 19th to 21st. This year's exhibition, themed "Intelligent Manufacturing for a Win-Win Coexistence," will attract over 500 leading global companies. The exhibition will feature six major exhibition areas, including humanoid robots, industrial robots, and specialized robots. The exhibition area spans 50,000 square meters and is expected to attract 100,000 professional visitors, setting a new record for similar exhibitions in South China.
The exhibition is at the forefront of technology: the humanoid robot zone will showcase devices featuring dexterous hands and high-precision joint modules, such as the popular Unitree G1 from Unitree Technology. The industrial robot section will focus on welding, spray painting, and logistics applications, with live demonstrations of AGV/AMR clusters and flexible production line solutions. The specialty robot zone will cover sub-sectors such as underwater, firefighting, and agriculture, addressing Guangdong's strategic need to prioritize manufacturing. Notably, the exhibition will feature a "Robot Avenue of Stars Show," showcasing the potential of embodied intelligence in healthcare, education, and elderly care through dynamic interactions. For example, Gaoqing Electromechanical's Mini Pi robot has achieved a 30-kilogram payload and plans to move from the laboratory to the home in the future.
As a core city in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, Guangzhou, leveraging its well-developed scientific and technological innovation ecosystem and geographical advantages, is accelerating the globalization of "Made in China." The concurrently held Asian Robotics Industry Conference will invite academicians and corporate executives from various countries to engage in dialogue on "Industrial Opportunities in the Era of Human-Robot Symbiosis." Supporting events include the unveiling of the International Investment and Financing Committee and project roadshows to promote the commercialization of technological achievements. The organizing committee revealed that over 80% of booth space is currently reserved, with international exhibitors representing 30% of the total, representing over 20 countries, including the United States, Japan, and New Zealand, highlighting the exhibition's ability to integrate global resources.
