KEENON Robotics showcased its general-purpose & specialized robots at LEAP East 2026. The company showed how different types of robots can work together in commercial environments. The event took place from July 8 to 10 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. As per resources, there were 300-plus exhibitors and more than 300 speakers at the event. Moreover, thousands of attendees and 200-plus investors participated in the event, too.
KEENON recreated a variety of day-to-day business environments at its booth. These included a robotic café and a retail interaction zone, guest reception and delivery services, along with smart cleaning demonstrations. The reason? Well, that’s simple! The company showcased these robots just to let attendees know that general-purpose humanoid robots can surely work together with specialized service robots in order to automate a wide range of commercial tasks.
Humanoid Robot Serves Coffee
Can you imagine a robot acting as a barista and serving you your favourite coffee? Well, that was actually one of the most interesting parts of KEENON’s robotic display. The company displayed a robotic café developed in partnership with NOWWA Coffee. Visitors placed their orders using an iPad, and KEENON’s robot named XMAN-R1 prepared as well as served their coffee orders, that too without any human assistance.
As an automated barista, XMAN-R1 did all that is required to prepare a cup of coffee. It picked up the cup, extracted coffee, prepared it, and then served it to the customers. As per KEENON, this demonstration showcased the robot’s ability to perform multi-step task planning and precise force control, along with safe interaction with people.
Retail Demo Showcases AI Skills
KEENON also demonstrated its humanoid technology in a retail setting using a claw machine. The robot identified a target prize and accurately grasped it. Not only this, but it also completed the interaction with visitors.
The company said the demonstration highlighted capabilities such as object recognition and spatial awareness, along with dexterous manipulation and real-time decision-making. All these capabilities showed how humanoid robots could enhance customer experiences in retail and entertainment environments.
These applications are powered by KOM 2.0. As per KEENON, it’s the world’s first Vision-Language-Action (VLA) model. Along with that, KEENON ProS is also used, which is basically a role-based AI model developed on top of KOM 2.0. What this system does is enable robots to learn job-specific skills and respond autonomously to unexpected situations like human interference or equipment issues.
Specialized Cleaning & Delivery Service Robots
KEENON’s demonstration was not limited to its humanoid robots only. In fact, the company showcased two of its flagship service robots as well: the T10 delivery robot and the C40 cleaning robot.
The T10 delivery robot has the ability to lift up to 40 kg. Its body is 59-centimeter-wide, which allows it to move smoothly through narrow spaces. The robot also features a 360-degree panoramic perception system, which helps it deliver items safely by avoiding any obstacles in a crowded place.
On the other hand, the C40 cleaning robot is designed for small and medium-sized commercial spaces. It combines sweeping, scrubbing, vacuuming, and dust mopping in a single machine using KEENON’s triple-roller brush system. The robot also features a rapid-drying function. This function helps the robot dry the floor quickly after cleaning in order to reduce the risk of slipping.
Together, the humanoid and specialized robots demonstrated how multiple robotic systems can work together to create a complete commercial service workflow.
Interactive Robots
KEENON also featured interactive humanoid robots throughout its booth. The XMAN-F1 welcomed visitors by waving and making heart-shaped hand gestures, while the smaller XMAN-L1 performed dance routines and interacted with attendees. A dedicated photo area allowed visitors to take pictures with the robots and experience embodied AI technology firsthand.
Expanding Global Commercial Robotics
Founded in 2010, KEENON Robotics has built one of the world’s largest commercial service robot deployment networks. The company says it has shipped more than 100,000 robots to over 70 countries and regions. According to IDC, KEENON holds the largest global shipment share in the commercial service robot market, accounting for 22.7% of worldwide shipments.
By presenting humanoid and specialized robots working together in practical business scenarios, KEENON used LEAP East 2026 to demonstrate its vision for expanding embodied AI across industries. The company said it will continue investing in full-stack robotics technology and accelerate the large-scale deployment of service robots in commercial environments.
