Huaqiangbei AI displays
Robot dogs, humanoid robots, and drones are drawing international visitors to Shenzhen’s Huaqiangbei electronics district in China ahead of the 2026 Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit, Trending News reported. Visitors exploring the technology hub on Saturday examined smart glasses, 3D printers, brain-computer interface devices, and electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft. The showcase also featured agricultural drones and robotic service assistants, giving observers a view of China’s expanding tech sector.
One visitor named Martin said he was surprised by the capabilities of the machines on display. “The robots in general are quite surprising for me to see the things that they can do, which is something new for me,” Martin told Trending News. He also pointed to a ride in a robot taxi as a standout moment of his trip. “I’ve tried the robot taxi, which is something that I have never seen just from the videos. So probably the robot taxi is the experience I’m taking from China,” he added.
