At 2026 WRC in Beijing, demonstrations show how embodied AI moves from data and skills to robots operating in logistics and real homes.
BEIJING, Aug. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- X Square Robot, an embodied AI company building general-purpose robots and foundation models for real-world environments, opens its exhibit today at the World Robot Conference (WRC 2026), running August 19 to 23 in Beijing. At Booth C107, demonstrations present a continuous technology path from embodied data collection and foundation model development to robots operating in commercial and everyday environments.
The exhibit starts with a logistics sorting station powered by X Square Robot's self-developed embodied AI model called WALL-B and high-performance six-axis robotic arms. The robots autonomously identify, pick, reorient, move and feed parcels with different sizes, weights, materials and shapes, including soft packages requiring label flattening and boxes requiring orientation adjustments for downstream scanning. In a livestreamed demonstration on August 12, the system achieved 1,816 parcels per hour with over 98% accuracy, demonstrating its ability to handle variable parcels, continuous feeding and abnormal situations in a real logistics workflow.
The company is also bringing embodied AI into the home. The X Family Member Program recreates a real home around "a day in the life," covering entertainment, family meals, leaving home and remote interaction through an app. In May, the program also placed robots into real households for extended interaction and experience, providing a more realistic environment for exploring how robots can fit into everyday family life. Separately, X Square Robot has partnered with 58.com to provide paid home-cleaning services in China.
At the flower-arranging station, visitors can give the robot a natural-language instruction, such as a preference for a particular color of rose. The robot interprets the instruction, selects the appropriate flower and completes the multi-step arrangement. The task also adapts when flower order or object positions change, demonstrating the coordination of language understanding, visual perception and precise physical action over a longer sequence of tasks.
The remaining demonstrations show how the underlying capabilities are developed. QUANXTA Zero is an integrated embodied-data production platform that enables robot training data to be collected without requiring a robot body, while supporting data processing, annotation, training and evaluation. Another demonstration focuses on dexterous-hand skills, showcasing a general-purpose skill production platform that supports fine manipulation capabilities such as grasping, twisting, opening and tool use through a fan-handling task.
Together, the demonstrations illustrate X Square Robot's approach to embodied AI: connecting data, models, skills and robotic hardware to build robots that can perceive, reason and act across increasingly complex real-world tasks — from logistics and industrial operations to homes and everyday environments.

Veteran technology marketing executive joins Devicie as the company expands its global growth strategy and advances a new approach to managing and securing the end-user environment
TAMPA, Fla., Aug. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Devicie, a leader in automated device management for Microsoft environments, today announced the appointment of Corey McCarthy as Chief Marketing Officer (CMO). McCarthy joins Devicie as the company enters its next phase of growth and works to bring its technology to more organizations globally.
The appointment comes at a pivotal time for enterprise technology and security. While organizations have invested heavily in protecting infrastructure, the end-user environment has become an increasingly large and complex attack surface. Devices, applications and browsers are where employees do much of their work, and the rapid adoption of AI is accelerating both the pace of change and the complexity IT and security teams are being asked to manage.
Devicie is helping organizations address that challenge by using automation to continuously manage, secure and remediate Microsoft device environments, reducing the manual work required from IT teams while improving security, compliance and operational consistency.
"Organizations are rethinking how they manage and secure the environments where their people actually work," said Alex Hesterberg, CEO of Devicie. "The growing complexity of devices, applications, browsers and AI is creating an enormous opportunity to automate work that has historically required significant time and resources from IT and security teams. We believe Devicie can play an important role in that shift. Corey brings the experience, market perspective and leadership to help us tell that story globally and accelerate our next stage of growth."
McCarthy brings more than two decades of experience helping technology companies scale through periods of growth and market transformation. She has built and led global marketing organizations and go-to-market engines, positioned complex technologies in rapidly evolving markets and helped technology brands translate innovation into clear business value.
More recently, her work has focused on artificial intelligence and its implications for how companies operate, compete and adapt to an accelerating pace of technological change.
As CMO, McCarthy will lead Devicie's global marketing strategy, brand, positioning, demand generation and go-to-market initiatives as the company expands awareness and adoption of its automated device management technology.
"AI is changing technology at extraordinary speed, but it's also changing the scale and complexity of what organizations have to manage and secure," said McCarthy. "For years, much of the security conversation has centered on infrastructure while the end-user environment has quietly become a massive and increasingly complex attack surface. Devices, applications and browsers are where people actually work, and they need the same level of attention.
"What attracted me to Devicie is that we're not simply identifying more problems for IT and security teams to solve. We're using automation to continuously manage, secure and remediate the environment for them. I believe there is a significant global opportunity to change how organizations think about end-user management and security, and to establish Devicie as a leader in that shift."
Devicie helps IT and security teams automate the deployment, configuration and ongoing management of Microsoft Intune environments. By continuously applying best practices, maintaining device health and automating remediation, Devicie enables organizations to reduce repetitive administrative work, strengthen security and compliance and give IT teams greater visibility and control across their device environments.
