AI-powered services are taking centre stage at the 2026 China International Fair for Trade in Services in Beijing, showcasing the growing use of artificial intelligence in healthcare, robotics and everyday services.

Among the highlights is an AI-powered mobile clinic equipped with devices for eye scans, heart examinations and medical consultations. It also uses AI medical agents developed from clinical data from leading Beijing hospitals, helping bring higher-quality healthcare to remote areas in western China.

Robotics are another major attraction. A robot dog featuring a dual-brain AI system can make autonomous decisions and operate in hazardous environments such as mines, explosion-risk zones and high-voltage inspection sites.

Meanwhile, Meituan has showcased an AI-powered delivery robot designed to help riders complete deliveries in areas where conventional vehicles cannot enter, including airports and some residential communities.

The company is also rolling out AI agents to help small businesses analyse data, assess performance and review customer feedback.
