The 138th edition of the China Import and Export Fair, commonly known as the Canton Fair, kicked off in Guangzhou, South China’s Guangdong Province, on October 15, 2025. This edition continues to feature a service robots zone, which has drawn 46 leading industry players to display their humanoid robots, robotic dogs and other innovations. This is one of the most crowded exhibition areas at the fair. However, the attractiveness of robots is not limited to the service robots zone. Wherever there is a robot, a huge crowd likely gathers within the Canton Fair Complex. (Photo: Chi Jingyi/GT)
