Robot.com deploys its autonomous robot fleet to Hong Kong's LEAP East conference, bringing its R-ads advertising platform to Asia for the first time.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Robot.com, the company putting autonomous robots to work in the real world, today announced it has been named the official robotics partner of LEAP East, bringing its fleet of autonomous robots to the show floor in Hong Kong. The company will deploy R-kiwis in front of one of the most-watched technology audiences in the world, leveraging its R-ads platform to engage event attendees and pass out swag. Co-founder and president Judah Longgrear will also be on-site for a speaking session titled "When AI Leaves the Screen," detailing how physical intelligence is changing the way brands reach people in the real world.

R-ads turns real-world spaces into a new medium, using autonomous robots as moving media carriers for brand campaigns. It is practical, deployable technology already running in the market. The platform has run more than 100 brand activations in 20 countries, carried out by a fleet of 500 robots across the United States, Canada, Dubai, and MENA, which have completed 2.5 million tasks to date.

"We have spent years working with brands to execute these activations in the real world, autonomous robots running real campaigns, in real streets, getting real results across more than twenty countries," said Judah Longgrear, Co-Founder and President of Robotic Media of Robot.com. "My keynote is about what happens when AI leaves the screen. As intelligent machines move out of our devices and into the physical world, they change how brands reach people, and that shift is what Robot.com is building for."

Fresh off Cannes, where Robot.com served as the official Robotics Innovation Partner for PMG's AI & Tech Sandbox, and Longgrear took to the stage for a session on whether brand storytelling is the last real moat, the company now extends its event partnership work to LEAP East, building on a growing presence across Asia.

Annabelle Mander, Executive Vice President of Tahaluf, said: "Robotics is rapidly becoming one of the defining technologies shaping the next era of industry, moving artificial intelligence beyond software into practical, real-world applications. Robot.com exemplifies that evolution, demonstrating how autonomous robotics is already creating measurable value for businesses and brands today. As our Official Robotics Partner, they bring exactly the kind of deployable innovation LEAP East is designed to showcase."
