10,000-square-meter 'Robot Consumer Street' debuts in Beijing

(ECNS) -- A nearly 10,000-square-meter “Robot Consumer Street” opened Wednesday at the 2026 World Robot Conference in Beijing’s Economic-Technological Development Area, or E-Town, featuring more than 20 leading robotics companies.

The street showcases robots for commercial services, household use, food preparation and interactive experiences. Visitors watched robotic arms craft latte art, AI pancake machines cook in three minutes, cottoncandy robots spin designs, and DIY robots assemble bead creations.

A miniature Robot Mall replicates a full retail service model, integrating product displays, trials, sales and customization. Organizers said it is the world’s first 4S store for embodied intelligent robots, offering more than 150 products under a fulllifecycle service model.

A Beijing E-Town representative said E-Town will continue to promote the integration of robotics with finance, innovative application scenarios and consumer markets, accelerating the commercialization and wider adoption of robots and developing a replicable model for the industry.
