On May 22, the highly anticipated “The Second Unmanned Forklift Application Scenario Competition Finals and Embodied Wheeled Humanoid Robot Skill Demonstration 2026,” which garnered significant industry attention, was held in Hangzhou’s Qiantang District. Under the theme “Human-Machine Collaboration, Intelligence Leading the Future,” the event brought together leading unmanned forklift manufacturers and cutting-edge companies developing embodied wheeled humanoid robots for competitive demonstrations. This annual flagship gathering for intelligent logistics and smart manufacturing attracted nearly 10,000 professional attendees from across the country, both in-person and online, who witnessed the proceedings. Numerous end-user enterprises participated in on-site business discussions, generating a cumulative intended order value of RMB 500 million during the event.
This competition is jointly organized by the Development and Reform Bureau of Qiantang District, Hangzhou Cit, the Development and Construction Command of Hangzhou Eastern Bay New City (Inno & Entre Town), the Xinwan Subdistrict Office of the People’s Government of Qiantang District, Hangzhou City, China Mobile Robot Industry Alliance (CMRA), and Humanoid Robot Scene Application Alliance (HRAA), undertaken by Shenzhen New Strategy Media Co., Ltd., and co-organized by the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau of Qiantang District, Hangzhou City, Hangzhou Polytechnic, Zhejiang HCGZ Intelligence Technology Robot Co., Ltd., Hefei Gen-song Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd., Kuka Robotics (Guangdong) Co., Ltd., Hangzhou EED Transmission Equipment Co., Ltd., Shenzhen Zhongzhi Chuangtuo Technology Co., Ltd., and Zhejiang Rebot Technology Co., Ltd.
The competition also received strong support from five technical support partners: Hangzhou LINKOM Information Technology Co., Ltd., Shandong Free-Optics Technology Co., Ltd., Zhejiang IPLUSMOBOT Technology Co., Ltd., Orange Rabbit Automation Manufacturing (Suzhou) Co., Ltd., and Deutronic Electronic Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd., which provided precise positioning, detection, and network support for the event.
The Second Unmanned Forklift Application Scenario Competition Finals 2026 continued to focus on real industrial scenarios, featuring three competition tracks: Track 1 emphasized high-precision stacking and transfer; Track 2 focused on flexible handling and obstacle avoidance; and the outdoor track tested platform loading/unloading and stacking capabilities. Eight companies advanced to the finals, competing fiercely with their unmanned forklift solutions.
Compared to the inaugural competition, the most significant innovation of this event is the introduction of an embodied wheeled humanoid robot skill demonstration. The manufacturers of these robots showcased models capable of autonomous reasoning, training-free disordered grasping, 3D visual perception, and “multi-form” collaborative control capabilities.
To ensure the professionalism and fairness of the competition, a panel of judges from terminal manufacturing companies monitored the entire event. Additionally, referees, commentators, technical consultants, and notaries were invited to conduct rigorous evaluations on multiple criteria, including processing time, precision, safety, and compliance with standards.
After a day of intense competition, the major awards were finally announced:
