Improvements to 5G and artificial intelligence technologies have created applications and services beyond the traditional telecommunications and smartphone industry, boosting the digital economy and improving people's daily lives, industry officials said at the event in Shanghai.
Beijing-based startup Nreal displayed its mixed reality glasses at its booth which it says offer a superior immersive experience. The augmented reality glasses can be used in various industries, it said.

Two robotic red ox robots were dancing in front of the ZTE booth to welcome visitors. They had also performed at the Spring Festival Gala.
The robots, supported by 5G connections, combine the technical advantages of the 5G network's high bandwidth and low latency to achieve precise manipulation and control of the four-legged devices.

The robots can be used for all-terrain security inspections, such as at, oil, gas, chemical and nuclear plants and other special complex scenarios. They can transmit video, images, temperature, humidity and other information via 5G. They will also be used in schools, logistic centers and for remote medical services, ZTE said.
A star of the show was a 5g-version Orionstar coffee master with qualcomm-designed chips, which was showing its coffee-making skills.
