China's humanoid robot supply chain dominates IROS 2026 exhibitor floor
CyberRobooo · x · 2026-09-28
After walking IROS 2026, CyberRobooo observed that most exhibitors come from China's humanoid robot supply chain, which is shaping the global physical AI supply chain. Exhibiting robot makers include Unitree, AGIBOT, Agility, EngineAI, Galbot, RobotEra and ROBOTIS. Beyond whole robots, the show gathered nearly the full physical-AI stack: data collection (Ropedia, Lightwheel, GenRobot), models (TARS, PSIBOT), dexterous hands (BrainCo, WUJI, LinkerBOT) and tactile sensors (Daimon Robotics, PaXini).
