The 2026 China Automation Congress (CAC2026) opened in Beijing on October 31, bringing together representatives from academia and industry to discuss research frontiers, industrial transformation and interdisciplinary collaboration in automation and intelligent technologies.
Hosted by the Chinese Association of Automation, the congress coincides with the association's 65th anniversary. Its program includes 65 parallel sessions covering topics such as embodied intelligence and the integration of artificial intelligence into industry.

The inclusion of both embodied intelligence and AI-enabled industrial integration places research questions alongside the challenge of applying intelligent technologies in industrial settings. For researchers and practitioners, the discussions may help identify where collaboration across disciplines could support further development.
The session topics indicate areas of attention, but they do not by themselves establish specific technical breakthroughs or commercial outcomes. Subsequent public information about the discussions and any resulting initiatives will help clarify how the ideas considered at the congress develop.
