World Robot Conference in Beijing runs until Sunday

The public got to see the latest machines from China's robot makers on Wednesday. More than 300 companies have gathered at the World Robot Conference in Beijing — one of the major robotics trade shows.

While robots in China are increasingly being deployed for such tasks as hotel food deliveries and on some assembly lines, large-scale adoption beyond pilot projects remains limited. Here's a look at the industry's latest technologies and capabilities.
