A two-day robot fair, part of the shopping campaign for the upcoming Spring Festival, opened on Friday in Suzhou City, east China's Jiangsu Province, featuring a range of innovative new robots.
Nearly 20 domestic service robot companies showcased their latest products at the event.
A fluffy, child-friendly robot resembling a cat with winking eyes captivated many children.
"The toys at my home can't answer questions. But when I ask this robot, it responds. It's very useful and smart," said a girl.
"We brought here 30 robots to give it a try. But after just one morning, there are only five left now," said Qian Xiaoyu, a PR director from Tuya Smart, a global AI cloud platform service provider.
Robot vacuums are widely used in households, and with the advancement of AI technology, they are becoming increasingly intelligent.
"Some vacuum cleaners may be disrupted by a moving pet, but our models, equipped with a dual-eye obstacle avoidance system, can accurately identify moving obstacles and avoid collisions," said Li Xiuyan, product manager at Dreame Technology.
A wearable exoskeleton robot, equipped with advanced automatic sensing technology, offers a solution for the elderly who struggle with walking, enhancing mobility and independence in their daily lives.
"It's incredibly easy to walk now. I feel as if my legs are lifting effortlessly," said an elderly man.
