Now in its fifth year, the Beyond Expo has solidified its position as one of the leading tech and innovation exhibitions in Asia, bringing together many of the tech industry’s leading voices and most innovative products under one roof. 

This year’s edition kicked off in Macao on Wednesday and concludes at the Venetian’s Cotai Expo on Saturday. Over 30,000 attendees and 400 speakers from more than 120 countries and regions are expected to attend the Beyond Expo this year, making it an even larger platform than in previous years.

What’s more, over 800 exhibitors are participating, showcasing a wide array of tech products ranging from cutting-edge accessories and AI to sport tech and drones. The Bay hit the exhibition floor to uncover some of the most exciting technologies on display. Here’s what we found. 

iFlytek AI Glasses 

As the first pair of AI glasses to be developed by Hefei-based tech firm iFlytek, this 40-gram wearable is primarily designed for business professionals, providing them with a multitude of functions designed to facilitate their work and boost productivity. General manager, Lin Huijie, explained it best during the device’s product launch at Beyond Expo on Thursday when he said the glasses “are intended to give every person a second pair of eyes and a second brain.” 

Some of the defining features include real-time translation of 122 languages, with simultaneous interpretation available, even in noisy environments featuring multiple interlocutors. In his product demonstration, the Chinese-speaking Lin was able to seamlessly communicate with a Spanish speaker over the phone, as the glasses provided him with audio interpretation through speakers, as well as a translation transcription that was displayed via the lens.

In addition, the glasses come integrated with the GlassClaw AI assistant that can be verbally instructed to perform a wide range of complex tasks such as writing and sending emails to multiple individuals and summarising a high volume of information. 

According to a company representative, the device’s battery life varies depending on the usage, lasting around 4 hours during normal operation and 45 minutes when in full power. 

Pre-sales begin on 15 June, with the glasses retailing at 4,299 yuan. 

Pudu D5 Series robot 

The Pudu D5 Series is an industry-grade autonomous quadruped robot produced by Shenzhen’s Pudu Robotics – one of the world’s leading commercial service robotics firms.

Colloquially referred to as “robot dog” due to its canine-like appearance, the Pudu D5 can be used to perform a range of tasks such as autonomous inspections and the autonomous delivery of goods weighing up to 30 kilograms. The robot comes equipped with a slew of features to achieve these operations, including thermal sensing, real-time remote monitoring and control, all-weather resistance, as well as 275 TOP of computing power. 

Its bionic and dexterous design also allows it to traverse through a range of environments such as stairs, slopes, as well as rough, uneven and unstructured terrain. In fact, the robot is capable of 360 back flips and other stunt-like moves, making it a perfect fit for entertainment purposes as well.

What’s more, the Pudu D5 can navigate around narrow and crowded spaces, thanks to its four cameras, which provide it with 360 degree coverage of its surroundings. Its AI capabilities also mean users can carry out voice interaction and gesture control. 

A Pudu D5 will set you back at US$80,000 for the legged model and US$85,000 for the wheeled one. Get yours here. 

LiberLive Stringless Guitar 

Ever wanted to play the guitar without having to memorise chords and spend months training? Now you can thanks to the world’s first stringless smart guitar from Shenzhen firm LiberLive.

This smart guitar eschews a traditional fretboard for chord pads, and replaces physical strings with two strumming paddles on the body. Playing a chord is as simple as pressing the correct pressure sensitive chord pad and flicking the paddle, which will produce the corresponding sound via the built-in speaker. Depending on how hard you flick the paddle, the sound that you create will also adjust accordingly. 

To make playing even more intuitive and simplified, LiberLive has also developed a free app that features a large selection of chord sheets created by users. 

“We’ve turned very complex chords into coloured visual symbols that are recognisable to everyone,” a LiberLive representative told The Bay. The same representative used the guitar and app to effortlessly perform a riff of Teresa Tang’s “The Moon Represents My Heart,” despite not having any musical experience.

To top it all off, this guitar allows users to choose different tones and rhythm patterns, and even features a built-in drum machine. Carrying it around is also much easier than a traditional guitar, as it is foldable. 

Given its user-friendliness and ability to make music more inclusive, the LiberLive stringless guitar was unsurprisingly selected as one of Time magazine’s best inventions of 2025. 

In mainland China, the standard and smaller models are priced at 2,499 yuan and 1,799 yuan respectively. 

Clear X – Shoe-cleaning robot 

Clear X is the perfect machine for those who care deeply about keeping their footwear pristine, but disdain the prospect of having to manually scrub and soak their shoes. 

Dubbed the world’s first intelligent shoe-cleaning robot, this machine from the Shenzhen start-up Brolan uses advanced micro-nano bubble technology to ensure your shoes are cleaned in a thorough but gentle manner.

“During the drying phase, we use dual-channel, low-temperature drying, which can prevent deformation, shrinkage and heat, as well as some types of damage,” Monica Wu, the marketing manager of Brolan said.

Clear X also features sterilisation technology that thoroughly removes bacteria and odour from all areas of the shoe, including hard-to-reach places. 

Currently, the shoe cleaning machine is not publicly available, although Wu noted that online fundraising via Kickstarter is scheduled to begin from September. Brolan plans to sell the robot for US$800 to US$1,000, with those who join the Kickstarter eligible for a discount of 50 percent. The company is looking to have its product enter the mainland market by next year. 

Lumo – AI Infrared smoke-free indoor grill 

Developed by the Hong Kong-based start-up Cozytime, Lumo is the world’s AI infrared smoke-free indoor grill. Those who cook with the system will have three cooking options to choose from, including indoor smoker (perfect for slow cooking), fast grill (suitable for steaks and skewers), and flat grill (designed for larger meals. 

Despite not resembling a traditional grill, Lumo doesn’t compromise on the flavour. Much like any other ordinary grill, the meat you cook will be crispy on the outside, but juicy on the inside.  Similarly, you can make use of wood pellets to give your dishes a smoky, charcoal flavour. The best part, however, is since it uses infrared technology, there is no need for pre-heating.

Through the use of AI technology, the infrared grill is also able to identify over forty different types of ingredients, adjusting its cooking automatically accordingly. 

“The AI camera can identify the food and can set up a cooking time, temperature and make adjustments according to your needs,” a Cozytime representative explained. 

The Lumo is priced at US$499.
