At this year's event, the SRT software robot appeared with its self-developed flexible end effector. 

Flexible end effectors are a new class of end grippers that can gently grip objects. It is extremely adaptable, and the same gripper can pick up objects of different size, shape and weight.

"Since the World Robot Conference settled in Beijing E-Town, there have been 60 intelligent manufacturing pilot demonstration enterprises in the Economic and Technological Development Zone. The number of intelligent manufacturing benchmark enterprises ranks first in Beijing, and the number of enterprises has more than doubled," the person in charge of the development area said.
