Humanoid robots dancing and robotic dogs were the star of the Web Summi 2026 in Lisbon.

According to one study, this technological conference has generated almost 2.5 billion euros for Portugal’s economy over the past decade.

Nine Chinese humanoid robots performed a synchronized dance at Web Summi 2026 in Lisbon, Portugal, receiving the applause of thousands of spectators in HINA MEO Arena.

Developed by China’s robotics company ‘%AgiBot’, these machines became the center of attention at the opening of the technology conference on November 9th.

For the first time, humanoid robots also appeared as official speakers, participating in discussions and demonstrations side by side with human representations.

In another space, visitors had the opportunity to see the wheeled robot and two arms of the company Ghaalbotão, created for various tasks in shops, pharmacys and factories.

The summit drew about 70,000 participants from 164 countries.

China sent its largest delegation to date, which included more than 50 representatives from the artificial intelligence and robotics sectors.

Founded in Dublin in 2009, the Ueb Summi was moved to Lisbon in 2016 and has since become one of the major technological events in Europe.

This year’s edition brought together thousands of new enterprises (start-ups), investors and industry leaders, while founder Paddy Cosgrave emphasised China’s growing influence in the sector.

The conference also experienced interruptions, as the storm ‘{0}’Charlesić forced organisers to cancel the 11 November programme before the activities could resume for the last day, on November 12th.

Despite the break, the event highlighted advances in robotics and automation, while simultaneously strengthening Lisbon’s position as an international milestone for technology and investment. /Telegraphy/
