那么莅临北京一探究竟

China officially inaugurated the 2026 World Robot Conference on Wednesday, with participating enterprises vying to showcase their ever-expanding robotics industry landscape, a move that profoundly underscores the nation's grand strategic ambition to propel this technology from the laboratory demonstration phase into factory floors and other real-world application domains.

中国于周三正式启动2026年世界机器人大会各参展企业竞相展示其日益壮大的机器人产业版图此举深刻凸显了中国力求将该项技术从实验室演示阶段推进至工厂车间及其他实际应用领域的宏伟战略意图。

The organisers have proclaimed that this five-day extravaganza is anticipated to showcase nearly three thousand commodities.

组织者宣称这场为期五日的盛会预计陈列近三千种商品

Notwithstanding its nomenclature, the gathering has attracted not a single exhibitor from foreign shores.

尽管会议冠以此名无任何他国参展商莅临现场

The most arresting focal point of Wednesday's exhibition was undoubtedly the booth of Unitree Technologya preeminent force in China's humanoid robotics sector, whose models captivated onlookers with riveting displays of boxing duels and dance performances, with one unit even engaging in a table tennis match against a human adversary.

周三展会最引人注目的焦点,当属宇树科技的展台——这家中国人形机器人制造领域的翘楚,其部分机型正以拳击对决与舞蹈表演的精彩演绎吸引眼球,其中一台甚至与人类对手展开了乒乓球较量。

As the conference commenced, Unitree Technology proudly completed its initial public offering on the Shanghai Stock Exchange.

值此大会启幕之际宇树科技上海证券交易所荣耀完成首次公开募股上市。

Mere weeks prior to the convening of this assembly, the United States Federal Communications Commission, citing national security concerns, proclaimed a ban on the importation of newly manufactured foreign humanoid robots and power invertersa measure unequivocally aimed at China.

在本次大会召开数周之前美国联邦通信委员会以国家安全隐患为由宣布禁止进口外国制造的新型人形机器人与电源逆变器此举直指中国

The prohibition concurrently extends to recently imported quadrupedal robots, commonly designated as four-legged mechanical canines.

该禁令同时涵盖新近进口的四足机器人即通常所称的四足机械犬

The agency asserted that advanced robotics technology could engender cybersecurity vulnerabilities and other exigent threats to national security.

该机构指出先进机器人技术可能构成网络安全及其他方面的国家安全威胁

Another leading Chinese robotics enterprise, UBTech Robotics, also made an appearance with several industrial models, some of which demonstrated, during the exhibition, the operational process of transporting components within factory workshops.

中国另一家领先的机器人企业优必选科技亦携数款工业机型亮相,其中部分型号在展演中展示了于工厂车间内搬运零部件的作业流程。

Yet, the most awe-inspiring spectacle of all was undoubtedly the humanoid robots, whose facial verisimilitude was nothing short of extraordinary, and which were purported to have been meticulously crafted for the express purpose of emotional care.

然而最令人叹为观止的莫过于那些面部仿真度极高被宣称为专为情感护理匠心独运人形机器人

Jiao Jichao, vice president of UBTech Robotics, stated that one of its humanoid robots designed for emotional care not only possesses a multifaceted array of interactive capabilitiesincluding verbal communication, the rendering of a rich spectrum of facial expressions, cervical rotation, and manual dexteritybut also that the product has been made available for purchase by individual consumers, priced at RMB 168,000 (equivalent to over $24,000).

优必选机器人副总裁焦继超表示一款情感护理人形机器人不仅具备言语交流丰富面部表情呈现颈部转动手部运动多元交互能力该产品面向个人消费者开放购买定价为人民币16.8万元折合逾2.4万美元)。

Nevertheless, despite the increasingly intricate and refined displays, experts contend that the prowess of numerous humanoid robots in the realm of performance is more awe-inspiring than their practical utility.

然而尽管展示日趋繁复精巧专家指出众多人形机器人在表演层面上的造诣相较于其实际应用价值更令人叹为观止

Several enterprises showcased assistant robots equipped with articulated arms and dexterous manipulators.

数家企业展出了配备机械臂机械手助手机器人

At one booth, a robot undertook a seemingly mundane domestic chore: folding a shirt.

一处展台一台机器人尝试了一项看似寻常的家务活折叠衬衫

After several minutes of repeated attempts, it ultimately failed to accomplish the task as intended.

历经数分钟反复尝试终究未能如愿完成
