China is expanding the use of robotics and artificial intelligence in everyday services, with the city of Chengdu introducing three specialized robots designed to support logistics, tourism and emotional wellbeing.

One autonomous robot has been deployed to organize and transport goods in shops and logistics facilities without human assistance, helping streamline daily commercial operations.

A second humanoid robot, Xiao Xin, serves as an intelligent guide at the Chengdu Natural History Museum, interacting with visitors in multiple languages and providing information about exhibitions.

The third robot, Ai Qiu, is designed to deliver interactive emotional support. Equipped with AI software capable of recognizing and interpreting human emotions, the robot aims to provide social and psychological assistance through personalized interactions.

The rollout reflects China's broader push to integrate AI-powered robots into public services as the country accelerates investment in advanced robotics and intelligent automation.
