From March 12 to 15, 2026, Appliance & Electronics World Expo 2026 (AWE2026) grandly landed in Shanghai. Under the theme of "AI Technology, Smart Future", the expo adopted the innovative "One Expo, Two Zones" model for the first time, opening simultaneously at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre and the Eastern Hub International Business Cooperation Zone. With an exhibition area of over 170,000 square meters and more than 1,200 global brands gathering, it injected strong momentum into this world-leading event—one of the top three home appliance and consumer electronics expos globally—and became the annual core benchmark for the integration of traditional home appliance iteration and cutting-edge intelligent technology.
As the annual feast of the global smart living and consumer electronics industry, AWE2026 covers a full range of sectors including smart home, whole-house intelligence, embodied intelligence, digital entertainment, health technology, green energy, and smart mobility. It featured more than 100 world premieres, ten flagship exhibition areas, and a full-scenario smart ecosystem. On the first day alone, tens of thousands of professional visitors and tech enthusiasts attended, with cutting-edge scenarios such as humanoid robots, AI-native terminals, 6G communications, and future homes driving huge popularity.
The AI-based intelligent service matrix of Arno precisely meets the expo’s demands for high passenger flow, strong experience, and high efficiency. Equipped with a high-precision six-axis robotic arm, the Arno AI Robot Latte Art Coffee Booth quickly completes fresh grinding, extraction, and customized latte art. It unlocks expo-exclusive IP and tech-themed patterns, making every drink a mobile business card for the event.
The equipment is equipped with a fully enclosed sanitary system and stable mass production capacity, supporting 24-hour unattended operation and online ordering, perfectly matching the expo’s long daily operating hours and high-frequency reception needs.
Relying on numerous core patents and accumulated AI technologies, Arno Robotics’ appearance at AWE2026 is not only a positive response to the trend of technology empowering consumption scenarios, but also provides a replicable benchmark for the upgrading of intelligent services at large-scale international exhibitions.
As the official smart beverage service partner of AWE, Arno Robotics demonstrates the strong strength of Made in China Intelligence. It allows global visitors to experience the deep integration of intelligence and convenience while enjoying cutting-edge technologies, contributing to Shanghai’s development into a global technology exhibition destination and the construction of a world-class exhibition ecosystem integrating industrial exchange, future experience, and consumption innovation.
