Organizers said this year's exhibits focus on the "physical AI" trend, in which AI is embedded in physical devices so they can perceive and interact with their surroundings without human intervention. The exhibition is expected to run for several days, with demonstrations of autonomous robots, smart production lines and everyday AI applications.
