From a single "brain" to the beginning of growing a real body that can be operated, AI technology is being incorporated into hardware forms such as rings, desktop workstations, embodied intelligent robots, and all-in-one computers. On May 14th, the 2026 Global Artificial Intelligence Terminal Exhibition and the 7th Shenzhen International Artificial Intelligence Exhibition opened at the Shenzhen Convention and Exhibition Center. Compared with previous years, the collaborative innovation among the upstream and downstream of the industry chain became the most obvious signal at the event.

Smart rings, AI pets, exoskeleton robots - new terminal species are all making a splash.

At the exhibition site, multiple booths such as Huaqiangbei and Futian Investment and Financing Center were crowded with people. From "China's Electronic First Street" to "the First Street of New Quality Producers in the Country", the "AI Eight Horses" exhibition group from Huaqiangbei made a concentrated appearance, presenting the latest trends in AI consumption and technological evolution. At the Honor booth, two self-developed robots became the focus. One is "Yuanqi Zi", which won the 2026 Beijing Yizhuang Humanoid Robot Half Marathon Anthropomorphic Gait Award, and the other is the human-shaped robot "Lightning" that broke records during the event. Audience members took pictures to commemorate the event at the scene.

The exoskeleton robot that became popular online earlier was also available for on-site experience. Visitors could put it on to experience the effect of "climbing mountains as if on flat ground". At the Pasini Sensing Technology booth, the new generation of bionic dexterous hands could flex their fingertips and easily pick up small objects. Nearby, the guitarist and drum robot of the Haixi Robot Band performed together with real musicians on stage, attracting the attention of the on-site audience to stop and watch.

In addition, there are original AI products such as AI rings, OpenClaw series intelligent robot hardware, Greban AI trend toys, AI desktop robots, AI NAS photo frames, and AI alarm clocks that have all made concentrated appearances at the exhibition, covering various consumer scenarios such as smart health, smart wearables, and home interaction.
