AsianFin — Speaking at the 2025 World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC), Dr. He Xiaodong from JD predicted that the number of robotic “dogs” could triple, with even more diverse forms of robots emerging—including larger robots accompanied by smaller ones—creating nearly limitless possibilities for robotic applications.

To facilitate smooth communication between robot manufacturers and consumers, JD unveiled its intelligent brand JoyInside at WAIC. The company also announced partnerships with dozens of leading robot brands, including Fuzozo—dubbed the “AI version of Labubu” by outsiders—education-focused robots like Huohuo Rabbit and Xindalu, as well as industrial robots from Zhōngqíng and YunshenChu, among others.
