KEENON Robotics is bringing its global commercial leadership to the 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC), demonstrating that humanoid robots are ready to move beyond staged performances and take on real service jobs.
According to IDC, KEENON ranked No.1 worldwide in commercial service robot shipments in 2025, extending its global leadership for consecutive years. The company also continues to lead the global delivery robot market, while shipments of its commercial cleaning robots grew by more than 800% year on year. Worldwide commercial service robot shipments exceeded 150,000 units in 2025, highlighting the industry’s accelerating shift toward large-scale deployment.
At Booth H3-C201, KEENON’s “Embodied Service Community” transforms these figures into action across four commercial scenarios: coffee service, hotel laundry, a dessert house, and retail fulfillment.
At the coffee kiosk, XMAN-R1 works as a robotic barista, independently picking up cups, preparing coffee, and placing beverages at a latte-art machine for customized printing. In the hotel laundry scenario, two humanoid robots collaborate to load and operate washing machines, retrieve clean laundry, and fold garments.
At the dessert house, visitors select a color and the humanoid robot identifies, picks, and delivers the corresponding M&M’s candy. In the retail area, another humanoid robot recognizes shelf layouts, locates requested products, picks them, and hands them directly to customers. All humanoid demonstrations operate autonomously without teleoperation.
The showcase also puts KEENON’s “general-purpose humanoid + specialized service robot” strategy into practice. Humanoid robots handle manipulation, interaction, and flexible tasks, while DINERBOT T10 and KLEENBOT C40 perform high-frequency delivery and cleaning work—together forming complete service workflows.
With more than 100,000 robots already deployed worldwide, KEENON is advancing a clear commercialization path: role-based deployment first, generalization later. At WAIC 2026, KEENON is not simply showing what humanoid robots can do—it is showing where they can work, how they collaborate, and how embodied intelligence moves from demonstration to scalable productivity.
