Leading Chinese Humanoid Robotics Firms to Compete for Global Attention

According to a report by SMCP, multiple Chinese humanoid robot makers will join CES 2026 to introduce new hardware designed for real-world use cases and mobility. Participants include Unitree Robotics, AgiBot, Galbot, Engine AI, Noetix Robotics, and the state-supported Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Centre, also called X-Humanoid. Hangzhou-based Unitree confirmed that it will present its “next-generation humanoids,” following earlier appearances at CES with quadruped robots.

In a LinkedIn post, Unitree’s sales manager, Pedro Zheng, invited visitors to test the new lineup during the event. The firm has continued to develop models that combine robotic locomotion with interactive functions. AgiBot, led by Peng Zhihui, a former Huawei engineer, also announced its plans to present a full portfolio of products at the show.

In a December post on X, AgiBot described its systems as offering “industry-leading solutions” for automation and robotics. The Beijing-backed X-Humanoid will represent state research efforts in developing life-sized humanoids with integrated AI systems. Noetix and Galbot are expected to present robots focused on industrial and commercial applications, targeting efficiency and mobility. The companies aim to match or surpass offerings from international competitors during the exhibition.

More Participation by Chinese Smart Tech and AI Hardware Firms

Other Chinese tech companies will highlight products across various segments, including augmented reality, smart home, and AI computing. Smart eyewear firms such as Rokid, XReal, and Even Realities will exhibit their latest AR glasses and mixed-reality platforms. XReal will feature Android XR-powered devices, developed in collaboration with Google for enhanced mobile AR experiences.

Robot vacuum brands Dreame Technology and Roborock will also return, displaying updates in mapping, cleaning automation, and AI object detection.  Lenovo, China’s largest PC maker, will hold its annual Tech World event at CES for the first time. The company will showcase its “Hybrid AI” strategy across multiple devices and platforms. Jensen Huang of Nvidia, Lisa Su of AMD, and Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan will speak during the event.

Lenovo executive Luca Rossi said the company’s focus will be on AI-powered devices and an evolving multi-device ecosystem. The presentation will reflect Lenovo’s push toward embedding AI into its product lineup. Hong Kong will send its largest CES delegation to date, comprising 60 startups and tech firms supported by the Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks. In 2025, the region sent 51 firms to the event, making this year’s group the biggest yet.
