On May 14th, the Shenzhen Convention and Exhibition Center was bustling with people. Various AI terminal products were dazzling. Many exhibitors and visitors carrying backpacks and dragging suitcases moved around the venue, "shopping" in this rich mine of intelligent hardware.

The 7th Shenzhen International Artificial Intelligence Exhibition

This is the scene of the 2026 Global Artificial Intelligence Terminal Exhibition and the 7th Shenzhen International Artificial Intelligence Exhibition. The reporter learned from the organizers that this exhibition, with the theme of "Ends Unlocking the Future, Everything Reborn", attracted 500+ leading enterprises from 15 countries and regions to participate. Leading companies such as Huawei, Honor, Tencent, and Yuaizhi Jihe all made their appearances, concentratingly showcasing thousands of cutting-edge AI terminal products and technologies, covering AI mobile phones, AI PCs, embodied intelligent robots, as well as AI rings, OpenClaw series intelligent hardware, and other AI "new species".

As a global hardware paradise, Shenzhen has once again become the AI intelligent terminal capital in the AI era, and with the ecological advantage of "soft and hard integration", it has presented a shining AI business card to the world. Data is the best proof: on the first day of the exhibition, the number of professional visitors exceeded 30,000, and geeks from all over the world are flooding into Shenzhen, attempting to seize the most cutting-edge AI terminal innovation wave.

Thousands of AI products are particularly eye-catching.

Electric vehicles equipped with intelligent driving systems, humanoid robots that play piano music for the audience, cute AI pets with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and AI rings that can perform real-time translation... At the exhibition site, various novel and interesting products were displayed on the booths of different enterprises, attracting many visitors to stop by for experience and inquiries.

With the rapid development of AI technology in the past two years, many AI intelligent terminals have significantly improved compared to before.

At the booth of the robot company Pasini, a dexterous hand is flexibly picking up a baseball and holding it steadily in its hand. The on-site staff told reporters that now the dexterous hand can complete complex and delicate actions such as grasping eggs and screwing light bulbs. "This is thanks to our world-first 6D Hall array tactile sensing technology," the staff said. The dexterous hand achieves full coverage of sensors on the fingertips, palm creases, and palm surface, and can flexibly adjust posture and force when grasping items based on their shape, material, hardness, and other characteristics.

The key to the popularity of the Kenqi robot in the network is that its exoskeleton robot was also available for on-site experience. One of the participants wore the equipment and easily completed the climbing action, jokingly saying, "I feel like my strength has doubled."

In addition, there were many major new products making their debut and premiering at this exhibition, covering multiple dimensions such as computing power infrastructure, edge intelligent computing, embodied interaction, intelligent wearables and spatial computing.

For instance, Tencent Robotics X and Foton Laboratory jointly released and open-sourced the RoboFusion robot body interconnection technology system for the first time. Zhu Yonghui, the chief researcher of Foton Laboratory and the embedded technology director of Tencent Robotics X Laboratory, said that as the industry's first robot body interconnection technology system that realizes "one line to the end" full-stack IPization, it integrates the unified transmission of robot control data and sensor data on a larger bandwidth, laying the underlying infrastructure for the era of embodied intelligence.

Furthermore, Quanxing Technology debuted the "New Generation AI Super Memory Fusion Solution", directly addressing the computing and storage bottleneck of large model end-side inference; Yida Kechuang debuted the "Edge AI Embodied Intelligent Decision System", achieving lightweight deployment on the end side and enabling robots to operate independently in the absence of network or weak network conditions within milliseconds; Kuo Xuan Technology showcased the "AI Desktop Robot" for the first time, integrating multimodal large models and visual perception to create an exclusive desktop companion with emotional interaction... These intelligent terminals demonstrate the potential of "AI empowering everything" and outline the future vision of "Everything connected".

Soft and Hard Synergy Promotes Ecological Integration

The Glory booth, where the humanoid robot "Lightning", which won the championship in the 2026 Beijing Yizhuang Half Marathon and the Humanoid Robot Half Marathon, became the "star" of this event and was widely watched by the audience, was the highlight of this conference.

Recalling that when "Lightning" unexpectedly won the championship, many people were asking how Glory did it? In fact, this "cross-border show of skills" is the inevitable result of the accumulation of technology, supply chain, and ecological advantages in the consumer electronics industry penetrating into the field of embodied intelligence. For example, the mobile phone image stabilization algorithm can be transferred to the motion control of robots, and the thermal management technology on the mobile phone can be upgraded to meet the high-load and high-heat characteristics of the robot joint motors. As Shenzhen Robot Association Secretary-General Bi Yaire said: "The breakthrough of Glory is a concentrated manifestation of the collaborative effect of the Shenzhen robot industry ecosystem."

This exhibition is a window for observing the development of Shenzhen's artificial intelligence industry. The reporter's greatest impression at the scene was "soft and hard synergy, ecological integration", from computing power infrastructure, large model bases, to native AI new species terminals, to all-scenario interactive experience hardware, an entire AI ecosystem chain has taken shape and gained momentum.

In the event speech, Shenzhen's Party Committee Member and Deputy Director of the Industry and Information Technology Bureau, and Director of the Shenzhen Artificial Intelligence Industry Office, Lin Yi, pointed out that in recent years, Shenzhen has seized strategic opportunities to build an artificial intelligence pioneer city, and has formed a solid industrial foundation, a full-stack independently controllable software and hardware ecosystem, a scenario system covering all regions, all times, and all industries, and an active industrial ecosystem. The core industry scale in 2025 is approximately 220 billion yuan, firmly ranking in the first echelon of the country.

In recent years, the policy side has also been continuously exerting efforts. According to the "Shenzhen Action Plan for Accelerating the Development of Artificial Intelligence Terminal Industry (2025-2026)" released in 2025, Shenzhen has clearly proposed that by 2026, the scale of the city's artificial intelligence terminal industry will reach 800 billion yuan, striving for 1 trillion yuan, and will gather no less than 10 phenomenon-level artificial intelligence terminal enterprises. The output of artificial intelligence terminal products will exceed 150 million units, and 50 or more artificial intelligence terminal products will be launched in fields such as mobile phones， computers， large model all-in-one machines， and wearable devices.

With the continuous release of policy dividends and the continuous externalization of the innovation potential of leading enterprises， Shenzhen's "soft and hard synergy" is anchoring the "Shenzhen coordinate" of the AI terminal industry at the global map at an unprecedented speed.
