CIIF

Inspire Robots has launched the RH37D1 series, a direct-drive three-finger dexterous hand capable of lifting up to 43kg. The new gripper is designed for heavy industrial grasping tasks, positioning it for factory and logistics automation where conventional two-finger grippers struggle with irregular loads. The announcement was made around CIIF 2026 and reported by Pandaily.

At CIIF 2026 in Shanghai, Chinese robotics firm JAKA gave the global debut of the Kargo50, a heavy-duty wheeled humanoid robot designed to move tote boxes between workstations. It follows a smaller JAKA wheeled humanoid already deployed on a headlight production line, and Chinese state media have reported on the company's wheeled humanoid robots, drawing attention to their move from factory trials to commercial logistics roles.

Robotics startup NeodraDynamics presented its Neo1 heavy-duty hydraulic robot at the China International Industry Fair alongside JD Industrial. The machine stands four meters tall and weighs 1.2 tons, using a hydraulic-electric hybrid drive the company says lets it handle what it calls '4D' industrial work: tasks that are dirty, dangerous, difficult or dull. The demonstration highlights growing interest in heavy-duty robots for logistics and manufacturing.

A Chinese heavy-duty robot with a five-ton payload capacity has made its debut at the China International Industry Fair in Shanghai. The unveiling highlights the country's push into heavy industrial robotics, but observers note the machine's real-world performance, rather than its impressive specifications, will ultimately determine whether it can compete with established players.
