AI, robotics showcased at 2025 Intelligent Asia exhibition in Taipei

Taipei, Aug. 20 (CNA) The 2025 Intelligent Asia smart manufacturing exhibition opened Wednesday in Taipei with more than 1,000 companies from 16 countries showcasing technologies relating to AI, humanoid robots, net-zero manufacturing, digital transformation and more.

Organizers said the event at Nangang International Exhibition Center from Wednesday through Saturday includes 4,500 booths across eight areas and will host more than 100 professional forums and seminars.

The exhibition space in Taipei's Nangang District is divided into sections on automation, robotics, lasers, logistics, cold chains, molds, 3D printing and fluid transmission, according to exhibition materials.

"AI-driven robotic innovation is upgrading global manufacturing and is also a future element of national industry," said Szu Kou-i (絲國一), president of the Taiwan Automation Intelligence and Robotics Association (TAIROA), at the event.

"I hope that Taiwan's AI robot industry can surpass NT$1 trillion in production value in the short term," he said.

According to publicity materials introducing the trade fair, the automation and robotics sections highlight smart factory applications, including robotic arms, collaborative robots, edge computing, embedded systems and AI system integration, along with energy management and storage solutions for net-zero manufacturing.

Companies displaying robotic arms include Hiwin, Fanuc, ABB, Epson, Denso, Yaskawa Taiwan, Kawasaki and Nachi Taiwan.

Industrial computer companies such as Advantech, Nexcom, Adlink and Neousys are also presenting applications of embedded systems and edge computing in production line automation.

Siemens, Delta Electronics and Syntec are showcasing AI system integration using algorithms and data platforms to advance automated decision-making, while Shihlin Electric and TECO Electric & Machinery are featuring energy management and storage systems.

The exhibition's laser section includes displays of laser sources, processing equipment, optical integration and silicon photonics, as well as high-end optical components and precision processing solutions.

Meanwhile, the logistics and cold chain sections focus on smart logistics and warehouse integration, automated sorting and shelving, logistics integration and cold chain applications.
