The annual World Robot Conference wrapped up today in Beijing after a full week
of humanoid, dog, butterfly, and industrial showcases. First launched in 2015,
the WRC serves as a meetup for designers, investors, students, researchers, and
curious visitors to check out the latest advancements in AI-powered machinery.

From four-legged assistants, to human-like expressive heads, to bipedal
“cyborgs,” WRC offered some of the latest, greatest, and strangest projects
currently in the works. Check out the gallery below highlighting which robots
dazzled onlookers and could soon move from the conference showroom to the
everyday world.
