China’s robots are now delivering packages

China’s robot industry is growing fast, especially in elderly care and delivery services. In 2026, the country’s robot market is expected to cross $1.47 billion as more people use robots for help with daily life.

In Hangzhou, a woman who bought a mobile phone during a live-stream shopping session received her order through a humanoid robot just minutes later. The moment showed how robot delivery couriers are no longer just a future idea but are now becoming a reality in China.
