According to the World Intellectual Property Organization, China filed over 38,000 patents related to generative AI between 2014 and 2023, significantly leading other countries in this domain. (Source: Patent Landscape Report)
Canton Fair Unveils First-Ever Service Robotics Pavilion
This year’s Canton Fair marks a new milestone in China’s push toward intelligent manufacturing — the debut of the Service Robotics Pavilion, designed to highlight advances in AI-powered service technologies. According to China’s Ministry of Commerce, the pavilion brings together robots for commercial services, household applications, education, entertainment, healthcare, logistics, and public security, with companies showcasing intelligent interaction, autonomous mobility, and multi-scenario deployment capabilities.
Companies like iFLYTEK, Roborock, Dreame, Gaussian Robotics, and Unitree joined the showcase, offering a glimpse into how AI, mobility, and machine learning are reshaping modern lifestyles across industries.
Among them, the garden and outdoor equipment sector also made its debut in this forward-looking pavilion. YAT, one of China’s leading manufacturers in the industry, stood out as a representative of smart transformation in green living. With one in every four electric chainsaws worldwide produced by YAT, the company exemplifies China’s advanced manufacturing capabilities — and has long been a frontrunner in developing and delivering intelligent garden equipment.
The Future of Intelligent Living and Human-Machine Harmony
In the near future, service robots may quietly trim the edges of public lawns, assist the elderly with daily routines, or autonomously patrol campuses, parks, and open spaces. Human-machine interaction will become more fluid — not just through screens, but through motion, language, and shared tasks.
In homes, offices, and neighborhoods, smart equipment will anticipate needs, optimize energy use, and support green lifestyles. More robots will serve not to replace people, but to extend capabilities — bringing precision, safety, and autonomy to once-manual routines.
This is not science fiction. It’s a direction — visible in today’s research labs, startup showcases, and exhibition halls like the Canton Fair.
As this future unfolds, we look forward to what YAT will contribute to this landscape of intelligent design.
Let’s wait and see.
