Chinese robotics company Wisson Robotics showcased an array of universal soft robotics technology and products during the 2025 Consumer Electronics Show, the world's premier tech show, in Las Vegas, United States.

A series of drones and electric vehicle charging stations equipped with soft robotics attracted the attention of visitors during the event. The company said these robots have been applied to various industries including high-altitude cleaning, intelligent charging, energy maintenance, emergency rescue and environmental protection.

Cheng Hui, marketing director of Wisson Robotics said, conventional robots are usually made of metal materials and equipped with motor joints and a large number of sensors, but they have some shortcomings in terms of weight, adaptability and safety.

"In contrast, soft robots, which adopt soft materials and structure, are more suitable to complex and ever-changing environments in daily life, and can perform diverse tasks under different industries and scenarios," Cheng said.

For instance, aerial cleaning robots with flexible joints are able to adjust angles in the air, and clean exterior walls of buildings and other high-altitude architectures, significantly improving the efficiency of traditional manual operations while ensuring the safety of operators.

Cheng said the company's products have been sold in more than 100 countries and regions including the US, Europe, the Middle East, Australia and Latin America, adding that Wisson hopes to enhance brand awareness, expand in international markets and let more global consumers learn about its innovative robotics technologies via participating in CES.
