IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems

From October 21 to 25, the IROS 2025 (International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems) was held in Hangzhou. As one of the top academic conferences in the field of robotics research, this marks the first time IROS has been hosted in China in nearly two decades.

The reporter observed at the scene that the main forums of the conference were packed to capacity, and the core exhibits in the corporate exhibition area required queuing for close-up experiences.

Behind this intense focus lies the anticipated technological breakthroughs and capital investments converging in the robotics sector, particularly in the humanoid robot track. China's role in this process has also evolved, transforming from a key participant into an indispensable hub of technological innovation and market center.
