CCTV News: Make friends all over the world and achieve mutual benefit. The 140th Canton Fair offline exhibition has entered its third day. A large number of innovative artificial intelligence products have been launched, and the implementation of new technologies and new applications has accelerated.
The service robot area is extremely popular
This is the entrance to the service robot area of the 140th Canton Fair. Basically, there is a queue at the door after 9:30 a.m. every day, with an average daily reception of 25,000 people. And not only do you have to queue up at the door, some popular booths in the exhibition area also have isolation tapes, so you have to wait in line if you want to experience the robots. This section is very popular and very popular.
Exhibitor Liang Linchao said that the Canton Fair has become more popular year by year. Around 9:30, people have basically lined up twice. Some merchants really don’t want to line up to buy directly.
New AI products inject new momentum into foreign trade growth
It is understood that the service robot area brings together 46 high-quality companies in the industry, and the exhibits cover many fields such as industry, commerce, and people's livelihood services. A mother and son from the UK caught the attention of reporters. This is the third time for Max Yang to come to the Canton Fair. This time he specially brought his mother to experience the event. My mother, who had difficulty walking due to a stroke, became very interested in exoskeleton robotic equipment. She put on the equipment and got up and walked slowly.
British buyer Suzanne Elliott said that the exoskeleton robot can assist her leg movements and that the device feels very practical.
During the interview, the reporter also saw many new faces. This team composed of "post-95s" and "post-00s" will make their first appearance at the Canton Fair in 2026. They brought a bionic robot that could be dressed up, intending to test the global market, and soon attracted many foreign buyers.
Hassan Marzouki, a buyer in Dubai, said that the robot was very interesting and left a deep impression on him. I can't wait to buy it now and buy it back with cash. Because it can be used in schools and kindergartens, children will be very happy.
Exhibitor Cui Wei said that the enthusiasm of buyers at the Canton Fair is indeed beyond imagination, and about 1/3 of the customers want to take one back immediately after the Canton Fair is over, giving them great confidence in making overseas markets bigger and stronger.
At the exhibition site, the robot performance also attracted many buyers to watch. Someone shakes their fist in front of the robot, and the robot responds, sometimes bowing in return.
Brazilian buyer Murillo Palma said that it is very compassionate, very friendly and likes it so much.
A centralized exhibition of 235,000 AI products with rich innovative achievements
This year's Canton Fair showcased 235,000 artificial intelligence products, and more than 20,000 exhibitors applied new technologies and models such as industrial Internet and artificial intelligence. Many exhibitors have deeply integrated AI technology, accelerated the implementation of laboratory results into various real application scenarios, and transformed technological advantages into market advantages.
Portuguese buyer Ricardo Nascimento said that he doesn’t know what magic China has. He only knows that China is promoting the future of the world to become smarter. China is promoting all this and China is doing a very good job.
AI smart home attracts global customers
October 17th is the third day of the first phase of the Canton Fair, and the Smart Living Pavilion continues to be extremely popular. From on-site experience to batch intention orders, many new smart home products have become key purchasing categories for overseas buyers.
Visiting the Canton Fair in 2026, in the Smart Life Hall, everyone has gone from buying a single home appliance to buying a complete life scene. AI empowerment is like installing a "smart brain" on all the home appliances in the house. It can be linked to a full set of kitchen appliances to select today's menu in the refrigerator, and the baking parameters are sent to the oven in advance for baking. After the meal, the dishwasher can also adjust the washing program according to the oil stains, truly allowing home appliances to actively serve people.
Reporters experienced on-site and found that a variety of smart air conditioners, smart kitchens and bathrooms, and whole-house lighting systems can realize human body sensing and automatic temperature adjustment without manual control, and AI actively adapts to living habits. The smart home products exhibited at this Canton Fair have completely broken away from the primary intelligence stage of simple "mobile phone remote control" and have fully entered a new stage of AI autonomous perception and automatic scene linkage.
Purchasers in Saudi Arabia said that customers are now not only looking for basic functions, they are looking for new technologies, whether they can be connected to Wi-Fi, whether they can make life easier and save time, and smart homes are no longer just high-end functions, but are becoming basic options in the next few years.
Not only the familiar large appliances, but also traditional small household appliances have also achieved quality improvements with AI empowerment. This company brought more than 800 exhibiting products for household, pet, and garden products. The company transforms R&D investment into products that are "easy to wash, easy to cut, and delicious" that overseas families can perceive, turning traditional small home appliances from "price-based" to "experience-based".
Exhibitor Zhu Xiaomei said that it is AI-enabled. For example, this camera can very accurately identify the material of the clothes it is ironing, and can automatically adjust the temperature and ironing time to protect the integrity of the clothes to the greatest extent. At present, this product has been exported to the European market, and merchants from many countries around the world have expressed great interest in this Canton Fair.
Traditional hardware category companies are also taking advantage of the trend to transform and embrace the new smart track. This hardware company iterates traditional structural components into smart kitchen and bathroom products that are suitable for whole-house scenarios.
Exhibitors said that many customers came this time and immediately confirmed their orders after viewing the exhibits.
Intelligent implementation, simpler operation, and wider adaptability make the negotiations in this smart home exhibition area highly popular.
New AI products are favored, China’s smart manufacturing meets global demand
This year's Canton Fair highlights innovation leadership and digital intelligence empowerment. A number of artificial intelligence innovative products were unveiled, attracting global merchants to compete for experience.
The service robot area, which has been established for four consecutive years, remains highly popular. Buyers from all over the world queue up at the entrance of the area, and receives more than 25,000 customers every day. The special area brings together 46 high-quality enterprises in the industry, and the exhibits cover many fields such as industry, commerce, and people's livelihood services. At this intelligent exoskeleton robot company, the 36-square-meter booth was crowded with merchants, and during peak periods one had to queue for an hour to experience the product.
The reporter discovered at the scene that a merchant with limited mobility was waiting in the queue. With the help of the staff, she put on the exoskeleton robot equipment and successfully got up and walked slowly. She could not hide her excitement.
In the special area, cutting-edge products such as humanoid industrial robotic arms equipped with AI algorithms, autonomous obstacle avoidance and window cleaning robots, and multi-lingual real-time translation AI glasses were all on display. Many popular booths were always crowded with merchants to inquire about cooperation and negotiate orders.
This year's Canton Fair showcased 235,000 artificial intelligence products, and more than 20,000 exhibitors applied new technologies and models such as industrial Internet and artificial intelligence.
Exhibitor Duan Yu introduced that this humanoid robotic arm is equipped with an AI algorithm model, has the ability to work collaboratively in multiple processes, and is suitable for real production scenarios such as industrial assembly, logistics and sorting. This time, the booth broke through the previous method and upgraded to a real production line link, so that customers could see what kind of problems were solved.
Brazilian buyer Fabio Solander said that he has seen the rapid development of AI applications in various types of equipment. The core is to save manpower and use robots to replace labor to increase production capacity. This is the direction he is looking for. There are many options available at the Canton Fair, and we plan to bring these solutions back to Brazil.
