Shanghai Drives Robotics Deployment Through Real-World Testing
不玩后空翻，上海用“实景狠活”逼机器人进厂：800支战队黑盒盲测正大考
In October 2026, Shanghai hosted the first large-scale real-world testing event for embodied AI robots, featuring over 800 teams competing in 23 industrial scenarios. The event, part of the Global Developers' Pioneer Conference, aimed to bridge the gap between lab research and real-world deployment by simulating actual production lines, warehouses, and service environments. Robots were tested under unpredictable conditions, with performance metrics directly tied to real-world applicability.
The event highlights the shift from demonstration-based robotics to real-world deployment, emphasizing the importance of 'black-box blind testing' in assessing robot performance under real industrial conditions. It also underscores the role of standardized skill packages in accelerating the adoption of embodied AI across different sectors.

赛事采用“黑盒盲测”制，即比赛中可随机更换物料、随机设置故障点位，机器人需现场读取信息，并自主调整动作，完成抓取、搬运、装配等任务。
