“We are displaying a series of recent innovations centered on the logistics ecosystem,” said Teng Fei, a senior solutions consultant at SF Technology, a subsidiary of SF Express. SF’s booth features autonomous delivery vehicles that are commonly used on campuses and in industrial parks along with eco-friendly packaging, such as a container that preserves freshness by regulating the internal temperature without ice packs or other coolants.

AI-powered applications are among the biggest draws at this year’s fair. Shenzhen robotics firm UBTECH is exhibiting the Walker S1 industrial humanoid robot alongside consumer robots such as the Alpha Mini, a home companion, and Wukong, a portable robot with built-in AI that can interact and perform.
