Embodied AI shifts focus from robot bodies to data harvesting at WRC 2026

The World Robot Conference (WRC) 2026 highlighted a shift in the embodied intelligence industry, moving from a focus on robot body development to data harvesting for AI training. Companies like Zhejiang Humanoid showcased robots performing complex tasks across various scenarios, from industrial manufacturing to retail and domestic settings, emphasizing the need for robots to not only enter but also remain and perform reliably in real-world environments. Research presented at IJCAI 2026 addressed key challenges in embodied AI, such as improving generalization capabilities in large vision-language models and overcoming visual blind spots in robotic manipulation, aiming to bridge the gap between simulated performance and practical application. AI
