The city's first testing ground for humanoid robots pairs mainland hardware makers with real-world scenarios and a growing pool of government money Hong Kong now has a place where robots go to practice being useful. On October 15, 2026, the city opened its first Embodied AI International Applications Hub, housed in the Hong Kong Productivity Council (HKPC) Building in Kowloon Tong. The facility is built to test and fine-tune embodied AI systems and humanoid robots inside simulated real-world settings.

The hub is starting with seven technology partners, including Unitree Robotics, Galbot and Robotera, plus eight scenario partners. Technology partners bring the robots and the software.
