At the 139th Canton Fair in Guangzhou, Reanne and Ben dive into a world where AI isn't just a buzzword—it's built into robots, wheelchairs, and even suitcases. This year's fair feels more organized and commercially focused than last year, with robots actually performing jobs rather than just dancing. They explore desktop humanoid robots, a $40 emotional companion bot called Lily, a bionic hand controlled by finger movements, and an exoskeleton that supports walking—all available for purchase. The highlight is Ben trying the exoskeleton, describing it as 'like someone helping you walk.' They notice AI has gone mainstream, with self-service machines now common in hospitals and lift banks.
