Last Friday, a sprawling 5,000-square-meter exhibition space in Wuhan, in the Chinese mainland’s Hubei Province, transformed into a playground for tomorrow’s tech. At the annual Create 2025 Baidu AI Developer Conference, visitors stepped into an immersive world where advanced robots took center stage.
From cyber tour guides leading interactive demos to agile robotic dogs performing synchronized routines, the showcase brought AI to life. Humanoid champions wowed crowds with human-like movements, while a "Robotic Arm Chess Master" put guests’ strategic skills to the test, deploying AI-powered moves that adapted in real time.
This year’s event spotlighted immersive experiences, breaking down barriers between digital and physical realms. Individual developers seized the opportunity to present fresh ideas—from gesture-controlled drones to smart wearable prototypes—underscoring the growing maker movement in emerging markets.
Data from previous conferences shows attendee engagement soared by 30% as interactive AI exhibits drew global participants. With startups and tech enthusiasts buzzing about potential collaborations, the conference highlighted how open innovation can reshape industries from education to entertainment.
For young global citizens and digital nomads, Create 2025 offered more than glimpses of cutting-edge tech; it painted a vision of an interconnected future where accessibility, creativity, and sustainability drive progress. As the sun set over Wuhan, attendees left inspired, ready to carry AI’s next chapter into homes, offices, and communities worldwide.
