RealWorld demonstrated a humanoid robot picking objects off a moving conveyor at the China International Import Expo (CIIE 2026) in Shanghai. The demo took place at BMW Technology Office China's startup showcase during the China International Import Expo (CIIE 2026), which runs through 10 November in Shanghai. The demonstration was intended to show robotic manipulation under dynamic conditions, including recognition of moving objects and adaptation to changing work environments.
Seoul Economic Daily reported on 8 November that the demonstration showed a humanoid robot with a five-fingered hand picking up and moving objects of different shapes on a running conveyor belt. Unlike prior demonstrations involving static setups, this one was intended to show the robot recognizing the position and shape of moving objects and adapting to changing work environments.
What changed for buyers
The source does not report immediate availability or a purchase path for the system. The source does not report a public price or sales channel for the system.
What the maker says
RealWorld developed its robotics foundation model, RLDX, using real-world data gathered from manufacturing environments in South Korea and Japan. RealWorld says RLDX is designed to support delicate manipulation on factory floors. CEO Ryu Joong-hee said the technology could be applied to industrial settings including logistics and electronic component assembly. Chief Executive Ryu Joong-hee said the showcase offers “a meaningful opportunity to introduce the potential of our technology to the global industrial ecosystem.”
Still unconfirmed
- The source does not report a public price or ordering process
- Technical specifications beyond the use of a five-fingered hand
