LeadeRobot Opens Applications for 7th Robot Industry Awards, With 22 Awards and Six Annual Rankings

In an article published Nov. 2, 2026, leaderobot.com reported that applications have opened for the 7th LeadeRobot Robot Industry Awards. The program comprises 22 awards and six annual rankings. The results are scheduled to be announced at the 7th China Robotics Industry Annual Conference and LeadeRobot Robot Industry Awards ceremony on December 10.

The organizers say the awards will consider mass production, deliveries and the industrial chain, including components. The results will show how the program evaluates a broad range of fields, from finished products to reducers and sensors, although verifying performance will require specific evidence supporting the judging.

Alongside 22 awards and six annual rankings, the program divides its coverage into seven fields. This places finished products, components, applications and supporting organizations within the same awards framework, rather than recognizing individual products alone. The selection criteria cited in the article are “mass production and deliveries,” “the entire chain,” and “overseas expansion and the new generation,” indicating an intention to assess not only prototype performance but also commercialization and supply chains. However, these are the organizers’ stated selection policies and do not mean that third parties have verified the winners’ mass-production records or deployment results. Two other articles published by leaderobot.com covers China's AI industrial robots and leaderobot.com reports on humanoid robot traffic police at the Hangzhou Marathon, both dated Nov. 2, 2026, cover industrial robots and humanoid robots, respectively. The awards can be viewed as placing these different subjects within a framework for the industry as a whole. However, the summaries of the related articles provided here do not identify specific companies, products or deployment records, so they cannot substantiate the awards’ scope or results. From an industry-structure perspective, the fields covered include core components such as reducers, servo motors, sensors and robot chips, as well as complete machines and systems integration, applications, and industry services. Once the results are published, they may offer insight into how the organizers distinguish finished products from components and products from services, and what evidence they evaluate. The article’s description, however, does not specify the names of the 22 awards and six annual rankings, judging criteria, review process, application deadline or candidates. It also provides no details on the methodology or sources for the industry figures cited. Key points to check will be the awards’ categories and judging rationale, and how the announced winners’ records relate to achievements such as mass production and deliveries.
