The Zhejiang leg of the first Intelligent Robot Application Skills Exhibition, hosted by China Media Group (CMG), kicked off in Hangzhou, east China's Zhejiang Province, on Sunday.

The event features more than 60 companies showcasing over 300 robots spanning special operations, smart commerce and public services. Rather than showing off dazzling moves, the machines will recreate real work scenarios and demonstrate what they can do on the job.

CMG held its first Intelligent Robot Application Skills Exhibition in Beijing in July, aiming to help smart robots find practical use across more fields and inject fresh momentum into economic and social development.
