.机器人
Is .机器人 a real TLD? Who’s applying to run it?
Nobody has applied for .机器人 in its own right, as of 7 October 2026. Internet DotTrademark Organisation named .机器人 as the backup string of its .品牌 application.
A Chinese "robot" domain that matches China's robotics boom, but Chinese-script web addresses rarely serve as a company's main identity.

In Journey To The West's published portfolio of 323 strings submitted in the ICANN 2026 round; a Chinese-script IDN (“robot”, A-label xn--gmqz0qc7o). Their catalog line: “Machines built to do the work of hands.”
The 2012 applications making the most similar bet. Chosen by AI from every string in that round, without being told what happened to any of them.
Same bet exactly: a plain Chinese-script category noun for a class of consumer technology hardware, sold to any Chinese-market maker or retailer of that device class rather than to one owner, and dependent on Chinese users accepting a native-script right-of-dot at all.
The same generic noun for the same emerging machine-agent category with no incumbent registrant base, betting that a whole not-yet-formed industry names itself on the string — differing only in script and target language market.
Also a Chinese-script generic noun naming a manufactured-device industry, so the buyer is any equipment maker in that vertical, though it names a mature 2012 appliance trade rather than a nascent category still inventing its own identity.
What a .机器人 domain is
.机器人 is not a TLD yet. It is a string on our record of the ICANN 2026 new gTLD round, filed under AI & tech. Nobody has applied for .机器人 in its own right. It is named on ICANN’s list as part of an application for another string.
Is the .机器人 domain extension real yet?
.机器人 is not yet a domain extension you can register: nothing resolves under it, and no registrar sells names in it. Nobody has applied for it on the public record; the ICANN 2026 new gTLD round is the process that would decide whether it becomes one.
When can you buy a .机器人 domain?
You can’t yet. A .机器人 name can only be registered once the string is delegated (added to the DNS root) and its registry opens. Last round's closest parallel to .机器人 was .手机, delegated on 17 June 2014.
Is .机器人 a real TLD?
Not yet. .机器人 is not in the DNS root, so nothing resolves under it. It’s here because ICANN’s list names .机器人 as part of an application for another string. Every entry on this page links to its source.

- The string names a genuinely hot sector — robotics and embodied AI are a major Chinese industrial priority — so the semantic fit with its best-fit buyer is strong. But by analogy with prior Chinese-script IDN gTLDs (e.g. .在线, .中文网, .公司, .网络), Han-script TLDs have tended to attract defensive and speculative registrations rather than sustained primary-identity use: Chinese businesses overwhelmingly brand on ASCII .com/.cn, and discovery in China runs through WeChat, mini-programs and app ecosystems where the domain matters less. That pattern (analogy, not measured here) puts this in the 10-29 band: memorable and sector-relevant, but rarely a serious primary identity and with a thin aftermarket. It is not in the 30-49 band because even price-driven volume is doubtful for a three-character niche IDN with input-method friction; it is above 1-9 because the robotics industry is large enough to generate real defensive and marketing-campaign demand. Main market uncertainty: whether state promotion of Chinese-script internet identity plus the robotics wave produces meaningful renewal-backed use, or only launch-window speculation.
