Economy&Life | At China expo, AI robots take center stage

TIANJIN, June 22 (Xinhua) -- "Please make a coffee for me," a visitor asked a cute, white robot at the ongoing 2024 World Intelligence Expo held in Tianjin Municipality, north China.

The robot barista promptly responded, waving its arms to perform each step: taking beans, grinding, steeping and brewing. In no time, a fragrant cup of coffee was presented to the delighted attendee.

A variety of robots are on display at the expo, including humanoid robots, chess-playing robots, and coffee-making robots. These robots are demonstrating how smart technology could shape our future lives and work, drawing lots of interest and interaction from attendees.
