Beijing Issues First 'Sandbox Performance Certificates' for Embodied Robots

In August, during the 2026 World Robot Conference, Beijing Economic-Technological Development Area issued the nation's first 'sandbox approval' permits to three companies: Shouxi Technology (Beijing), Zhongke Huiling Embodied Intelligence, and Akapani (Beijing) Robotics. These certificates allow embodied robot performances within defined safety boundaries under a pilot program that requires real-time monitoring by professional safety officers, content review, and reporting to regulatory platforms for each event.
