DexForce at the Guiyang Big Data Expo, a Robot Draws Intangible Heritage Sugar Art

On August 30, the 2026 China International Big Data Industry Expo concluded successfully in Guiyang, Guizhou Province. Hosted by the National Data Administration and organized by the Guizhou Provincial Government, this edition of the Expo took “Tokens — a New Path to Releasing the Value of Data Elements” as its theme and brought together frontier achievements in the digital economy and artificial intelligence across five sections: computing infrastructure, data supply, model-driven development, security safeguards and intelligent experience.

As a leading company in Physical AI and embodied AI, DexForce Technology made its debut at the Expo, exhibiting its general-purpose humanoid robot DexForce W1 Pro together with a range of commercial service solutions. At the booth, three robots worked side by side: two were dedicated to sugar painting and coffee making, while the other continuously served ice cream and popcorn. Visitors could experience the complete service flow from ordering and preparation to delivery of the finished product.

The sugar painting robot, unveiled publicly for the first time, became a major highlight of the booth. Visitors simply sketched a simple drawing of no more than three strokes, and the robot understood the idea, generated the motion trajectory and “painted” a personalized sugar painting on the spot. Sugar painting is a representative municipal-level intangible cultural heritage project of Guiyang; the demonstration wove this local heritage into robotic service scenarios, letting traditional culture and frontier technology meet at the booth.

Meanwhile, the coffee, ice cream and popcorn robots kept serving throughout the event. Behind these seemingly everyday tasks lies a real test of how well robots understand their environment and tasks, together with integrated capabilities spanning perception, decision-making, planning and control. DexForce commercial service solutions are now in regular operation in more than 15 cities across China.

Data and computing power serve not only the digital world — they are also the foundation on which robots move toward general intelligence. Around the theme of this edition of the Expo, DexForce Technology presented the complete chain from data supply and model training to real-world application, drawing on its own practice in Physical AI. DexForce also looks forward to deepening cooperation with partners in computing power, data, robot hardware and industry, combining embodied AI technology with more industrial scenarios and accelerating the large-scale deployment of general-purpose Physical AI.

During the Expo, the multi-scenario applications of DexForce Technology drew coverage from more than ten central and local media outlets, including Xinhua News Agency, CCTV-13 (the news channel of China Media Group), CCTV-2 (the finance channel) and CCTV-4 (the Chinese international channel), as well as Guizhou Daily and Guizhou Radio and Television. Through tangible services such as a sugar painting or a cup of coffee, DexForce Technology is showing a wider audience that Physical AI is moving from technical demos into industry and everyday life, becoming a new quality productive force that runs reliably and keeps creating value.
