DeWu and Qianjue Robot Unveil AI Authentication Bot at WAIC 2026

The 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC 2026) kicked off in Shanghai with a splash. Among the eye-catching debuts was a collaboration between DeWu App and Qianjue Robotics: the world's first AI authentication robot. This isn't just another gadget—it's a glimpse into how artificial intelligence and embodied intelligence are reshaping the way we verify products.

How It Works

Think of it as a supercharged inspector with a robotic arm and a high-definition camera. The robot automatically picks up an item, snaps multiple images, and runs them through an AI brain that DeWu has been training for years. For a pair of sneakers, it scans the upper, midsole, and even the box, then spits out an authentication report in about five seconds. Yes, five seconds.

The Tech Behind It

DeWu's "AI brain" is no overnight project. It's built on billions of inspection data points collected from their "authenticate first, ship later" model. The system uses fine-grained perception and cross-modal information fusion to spot details like texture and craftsmanship that might escape the human eye. The result? An accuracy rate that DeWu claims is over 99.9999% compared to manual checks.

What It Covers

Right now, the robot can handle a wide range of categories: shoes, bags, watches, clothing, and cosmetics. That's backed by a product sample library covering 25 categories, more than 6,000 brands, and over 100,000 individual products. It's like having a database of every authentic item ever made—at least, a good chunk of them.

Why It Matters

This isn't just a cool demo. It signals that AI and robotics are moving beyond factories and into everyday consumer services. For DeWu, a platform that lives and dies by trust, automating authentication could speed up deliveries and reduce human error. For the rest of us, it means faster, more reliable verification when we buy secondhand or luxury goods online.
