China's 'Big 5' Humanoid Robot Makers Will Gather in Seoul for the First Time at Automation World 2026

Five leading Chinese humanoid robot developers — Agibot, Fourier, Huawei, Leju, and Unitree — will exhibit and present together in South Korea for the first time at Smart Factory & Automation World 2026 in Seoul, running March 4–6. The China Humanoid Robot Conference, held on the event's opening day, will feature keynotes from Unitree's head of solutions Jiang Chengyi, Fourier co-founder Zhou Bin, and Leju's head of solutions Ren Guangjie, covering commercialization roadmaps and global expansion plans. Agibot will demo its X2 and G2 humanoids, Unitree will show the G1, and Leju will bring its Kuavo 4th Generation Pro. Huawei will present real-world applications of its embedded humanoid robotics technologies. The event — the largest AW yet with 500 companies and 2,300 booths across the entire Coex venue — signals South Korea as an emerging hub in the global humanoid robot race, even as Korean giants Hyundai and Samsung pursue their own robotics ambitions. Organizers described the gathering as marking 'the start of intensified global competition in the humanoid-robot market.'

Agibot Unveils Updated G2 Humanoid with Submillimeter Precision and NVIDIA Jetson Thor

Chinese robotics leader Agibot has unveiled an updated version of its G2 industrial humanoid robot, now powered by NVIDIA's Jetson Thor platform delivering up to 2,070 TFLOPS of computing performance. The wheeled humanoid features 26 degrees of freedom, 7-DOF force-controlled arms with submillimeter accuracy and 0.5N force sensitivity, and a four-wheel omnidirectional steering system capable of crab-walking and zero-radius rotation. Built entirely from automotive-grade components and IP42-rated, the G2 runs 24/7 on hot-swappable dual batteries with autonomous recharging. Agibot — the world's second-largest humanoid shipper with 5,168 units sold in 2025 — demonstrated the G2 performing automotive parts assembly, precision RAM insertion, logistics sorting, and guided tours at its launch event. The robot supports multi-unit teleoperation, allowing a single operator to supervise several G2s simultaneously.

Hyundai Brings MobED Robot to Automation World as Robotics Expands in Manufacturing

Hyundai Motor Group's Robotics Lab will showcase its MobED mobile platform at Automation World 2026 in Seoul (March 4–6), alongside more than 50 global robotics companies including FANUC, Universal Robots, and Geekplus. MobED — short for Mobile Eccentric Droid — uses four independently controlled wheels and an eccentric mechanism for agility across uneven terrain. It won a Best of Innovation Award at CES 2026. The event highlights a broader shift toward AI-native production systems and intelligent logistics, with Korean companies like Doosan Robotics, Rainbow Robotics, and ROBOTIS also exhibiting. Hyundai, which owns Boston Dynamics and is partnering with Waymo on robotaxis, continues to expand its robotics portfolio beyond humanoids into mobile platforms and wearable systems.
