Encountering future tech at the BRICS New Industrial Revolution Exhibition At the BRICS New Industrial Revolution Exhibition running from May 27 to 29 in Xiamen, the future feels less like a concept and more like something already in motion. Humanoid robots make tanghulu and play tic-tac-toe. Driverless electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, unmanned gyroplanes, AI diagnosis tools and smart farming equipment are all on show. Together, they offer a close-up look at how cutting-edge technologies are moving from labs into real-world scenarios: from low-altitude tourism and weather modification to hospitals, farms and factories. The new industrial revolution is not just on display here. It is already taking off.
