The 2026 World Internet Conference Wuzhen Summit is underway. At the Light of the Internet Expo, from dual-robot hotel concierges working 10-minute continuous cycles to 40-second automated retail pods, and all the way to AIKO's smokeless robotic chef—robots are stepping from exhibition booths into real service roles. How much work can they handle on the job?

EXPO HIGHLIGHTSService Robots Compete in Real-World Roles Across Wuzhen

Inside the Light of the Internet Expo at Wuzhen, service robotics in diverse forms demonstrated practical workplace agility. Dual-robot hotel concierges navigated simulated suites smoothly to deliver guest essentials across 10-minute error-free trials; automated 40-second retail pods handled order scanning, sorting, packaging, and dispatch seamlessly, slashing wait times and proving real-world operational endurance.

GLOBAL DEBUTWorld's First Fully Automated Embodied Kitchen Takes the Stage

In the culinary lifestyle zone, crowds gathered around a fully transparent operational cabin featuring AIKO, developed by Jiaxing Jialin Intelligent. Through panoramic glass, robotic grippers accurately identify chilled ingredient containers and load 4 independent temperature-controlled woks. Automated oil injection, high-heat wok tossing, plating, and pressurized self-cleaning operate in tight synchronization, filling the pavilion air with tempting wok aroma as international guests and media recorded every movement.

“We have engineered the world's first fully automated embodied intelligent kitchen system, covering an 8-stage closed loop: selection, washing, slicing, dosing, feeding, stir-frying, plating, and self-cleaning. Backed by a closed-loop micron fume filtration system with zero external exhaust, it requires only water and electricity to deploy into office buildings, senior dining halls, and global communities.” — Wang Rui, General Manager of Jialin Intelligent

CORE INNOVATIONIndustrial Motion Control Translates Chef Intuition into Digital Recipes

Technical leads highlighted how AIKO fuses industrial-grade flexible motion control with master culinary science, translating ambiguous 'season to taste' traditions into millisecond temperature curves, gram-level precision seasoning, and repeatable rotation profiles. Cooking each dish in dedicated woks with automatic washing in between, AIKO eliminates heavy kitchen fumes and intense labor while establishing a scalable foundation for fresh Chinese stir-fry worldwide.
