Chinese robot makers showed off humanoids sorting parcels, packing mobile phones, and even sparring with a man in the World Robot Conference in Beijing.

More than 300 mostly domestic companies are attending the conference which runs through Sunday (August 23), displaying over 2,000 exhibits and launching more than 150 products, according to organizers.

The event comes amid a surge of investor interest in humanoids, a potential new source of industrial growth for China and an arena of technological competition with the United States.
