On April 24, 2026, the world's leading industrial technology event-HANNOVER MESSE 2026-successfully concluded. For the first time, this year's exhibition placed "Physical AI" at the core of its agenda, focusing on Industry 4.0, artificial intelligence, and robotics. Around 4,000 top companies from more than 60 countries and regions gathered to showcase cutting-edge achievements in industrial digitalization, energy transition, AI, and robotics.
Located at Booth E36 in Hall 26, Canop's exhibition stand quickly became one of the highlights from day one. Industry clients, technical experts, and media representatives from around the world visited continuously, many coming specifically to witness the debut of the "second-generation wheeled humanoid robot."
1. On-Site Highlights:
Four Key Solutions Drive Interaction, Enthusiasm Runs High
Collaborative Welding Robot - Ready to Use, Operational in 30 Minutes
In the live demonstration area, a black CRP-RC13-10-W welding robot attracted continuous hands-on engagement from visitors. With a welding handle, users could perform "hand-guided" programming, completing trajectory setup in just 10 seconds. Combined with a mobile platform, the system could be deployed and put into operation in under 30 minutes. An engineer from a mid-sized German manufacturing company commented:
"We frequently switch production lines-this kind of infrastructure-free, rapid deployment solution is incredibly practical."
Collaborative Assembly Tightening System - Vision-Guided, High Precision
At the assembly workstation, two collaborative robots worked together to perform screw fastening and removal tasks. The system uses vision guidance for automatic positioning, while tightening parameters and yield data are managed in a closed-loop system. An automation integrator from Italy noted:
"This system offers high precision, and the programming speed is much faster than what we used before. It has broad applications in automotive, electronics, and medical equipment industries."
New Generation Collaborative Handling Robots - Hardware Stability, Software Upgrade
Canop launched its new generation of collaborative handling robots at the exhibition, including CRP-RC09-06, CRP-RC13-12, and upcoming models CRP-RC18-20 and CRP-RC21-10.
This series features upgraded integrated joint modules for higher payload capacity and extended reach. All models are equipped with a fourth-generation high-performance collaborative control cabinet, incorporating a tablet-based operating system and handling-specific UI. The system supports modular multi-process expansion scenarios. Human-machine interaction is available through tablets, safety brackets, teach pendants, and PC software (CrobotpLab). The open software platform and extensive SDK enable rapid customization. These robots are widely applicable in industries such as automotive, 3C electronics, new energy, metal processing, consumer goods, and logistics.
RHM-T1W Wheeled Humanoid Robot - The Star of the Show
At the center of the booth, the RHM-T1W wheeled humanoid robot became the undeniable highlight. It performed a fluid and precise sequence of Wing Chun movements-combining strength and flexibility-with wrist motions as agile as a snake, executing rapid twists and precise strikes within a confined space. This extreme flexibility, powered by 33 actuated joints, also translates directly into industrial applications.
2. Second-Generation Wheeled Humanoid Robot:
Global Debut Redefines Industrial Collaboration
Standing at 1.9 meters tall, the robot is equipped with a self-developed embodied intelligence system and adopts a "wheeled base + humanoid upper body" design:
Agile Mobility: SLAM-based autonomous navigation, with a top speed of 3 m/s, adaptable to factory aisles, slopes, and complex terrains.
Precise Operation: Dual arms with 5 kg payload each, featuring human-like cross-axis wrists and 12-DOF dexterous hands for tasks such as screw fastening and component assembly.
Safe Collaboration: Full-body collision detection enables safe interaction with workers and other robots in shared spaces.
With over a decade of experience in industrial applications, motion control, and customer insights, Canop integrates industrial-grade reliability with embodied intelligence technology to create humanoid robots that are both practical and forward-looking, specifically designed for real industrial scenarios.
3. 14 Years of Technological Expertise:
Bringing Embodied Intelligence into Industry
Since its founding in 2012, Canop has independently developed over 70 robot models, covering 6-axis industrial robots, SCARA robots, collaborative robots, and humanoid robots. Its products are exported to more than 40 countries and regions and are widely used in industries such as automotive manufacturing, 3C electronics, new energy, warehousing logistics, and construction machinery.
As a nationally recognized "Little Giant" enterprise specializing in innovation and a certified high-tech enterprise, Canop consistently places technological innovation at the core of its development. It continues to advance key technologies in motion control, AI algorithms, visual perception, and mechanical design, laying a solid foundation for the development and industrialization of embodied intelligent robots.
4. The Future Is Now:
Diverse Forms Serving Diverse Industries
From collaborative welding to precision assembly, from flexible handling to humanoid collaboration, Canop showcased its comprehensive "Industrial + Collaborative + Embodied" intelligent solutions at Booth E36 in Hall 26 of Hannover Messe.
Looking ahead, Canop will continue to focus on its core strategy of "diverse forms for diverse industries," further advancing in the field of embodied intelligence. This remarkable appearance at Hannover Messe not only marked the global debut of its second-generation wheeled humanoid robot but also represents a significant milestone for China's embodied intelligence technology on the international stage.
Although the five-day HANNOVER MESSE 2026 has concluded, Canop's commitment to advancing intelligent manufacturing continues. Moving forward, the company will rely on robust technologies, a comprehensive product portfolio, and an open ecosystem to empower global manufacturing with intelligent solutions from China-bringing embodied intelligent robots into a wide range of industries and ushering in a new era of human-robot collaboration.
