The Digital Policy Office is offering a free humanoid-robot loan to Hong Kong organisations for community events, which must also be free to attend.
Applications opened on 9 November and close at noon on 20 November 2026. Organisations established in Hong Kong to serve the public or local residents can apply, including district and social welfare organisations. Applying is free.
Events in this round must take place between 15 December 2026 and 28 February 2027. The robot can dance, perform kung-fu and share knowledge about embodied intelligence — intelligence in a machine with a physical or virtual body — and other digital technologies.
The Digital Policy Office says the pilot aims to bring people into closer contact with humanoid robots and build awareness of embodied intelligence. It hopes the scheme will help people in need, particularly older people, understand and use digital products and services.
