According to the forum organizers, the exhibition’s primary technological highlight will be a humanoid robot named ALI, powered by artificial intelligence.
The humanoid robot is built on the Unitree G1 platform, developed by the leading Chinese robotics company Unitree Robotics. The name ALI stands for “Artificial Learning & Intelligence.”
At the forum, this intelligent android will serve as an official digital ambassador for innovation. ALI will welcome international delegates and exhibition guests, answer questions regarding the forum’s agenda and help attendees navigate the exhibition pavilions.
