【明報專訊】The World Robot Conference 2015 (世界機械人大會) was held in Beijing on 23 November 2015. The event included exhibitions on robot research, new products and new technological developments and forums, at which experts from China, Germany, the US and Japan gave speeches. During the conference, the World Adolescent Robot Contest (世界青少年機械人邀請賽) also took place. Over 150 teams from over 16 countries and cities participated in it.

In the competitions, teams of primary and secondary schools designed and built robots and programmed them to perform various tasks. They also had a chance to use their creativity and communication skills in teamwork.

Over the last two years, China has been the largest market for industrial robots. Their sales in China accounted for a quarter of the global sales. On this year's Singles' Day (11 November, or "雙11"), a vacuum cleaner robot was among the ten best-selling home appliances. It outsold even Xiaomi (小米) mobile phones. (source: Ming Pao)
