Flexiv Fields the Future of Force-Controlled Robotics at CIIF
Adaptive industrial and interactive force-controlled robotics solutions take center stage as Flexiv presents its most extensive array of demos ever at the China International Industry Fair.
SANTA CLARA, CA - September 18, 2025 - Flexiv, a global leader in general-purpose robotics, will make its largest appearance yet at the upcoming China International Industry Fair (CIIF), taking place from September 23rd to 27th.
With demand for adaptive robotics growing rapidly across China, Flexiv is eager to showcase its latest demonstrations and prove how the "adaptive advantage" can make a real difference to organizations of any size.
Visitors to Booth 8.1H B001 will be able to experience ten demonstrations designed to highlight the flexibility and adaptability of adaptive robots. Of these ten, seven are industrial applications, covering high-precision surface treatment for grinding and polishing, intelligent force-controlled assembly, and mobile manipulation in which an adaptive robot is mounted on an AMR platform.
To ensure visitors can truly experience the adaptive advantage, Flexiv will also feature its fully automated massage station, allowing attendees to literally feel the difference between traditional and adaptive robotics. Automatically adjusting to any body type, Flexiv's massage solution provides customized massages that exactly replicate the movement and pressure exerted by professional masseurs.

Additional demonstrations will include an egg-carving station where robots deliver millimeter-level artistry, a visual servoing display showcasing real-time vision-based control, and the Flexiv Sim Plugin, which bridges the gap between Elements Studio and third-party simulation software, enabling developers to realistically simulate force-controlled robots.
"CIIF is the premier stage for industrial innovation in China, and we're proud to bring our largest-ever showcase to the fair. Our booth members speak English, Chinese, Japanese, and German, so wherever visitors are from, they can learn about who we are and what we can do for them," said Xianyong Chen, Flexiv's Vice President of Industrial Sales. "Our free massage demo is a great hands-on way to show how force control ensures safety, sensitivity, and consistency. With demand for our adaptive automation solutions growing year after year in China, we expect this year's expo to be our most successful to date."
The China International Industry Fair is recognized as one of Asia's most influential gatherings for industry leaders, manufacturers, and technology pioneers. Held annually in Shanghai since 1999, it showcases the entire industrial supply chain. By integrating exhibitions, trade, awards, and forums, CIIF drives global innovation and collaboration in smart and sustainable manufacturing.
