From hospital corridors to hotel lobbies, service robots are becoming an increasingly common sight across China. A new glimpse into this technological shift comes through CGTN’s ‘Ask China’ initiative, which collected over 90,000 global questions about the country’s innovations – with robotics emerging as a key focus.
In a recent segment, the spotlight fell on Unitree Robotics’ G1 humanoid robot, developed in Hangzhou. Designed to interact naturally with humans, the android demonstrated abilities ranging from answering complex queries to performing precision tasks – showcasing China’s leap into next-gen automation.
Industry data suggests service robots now handle roles in 68% of Chinese hospitals for logistics and patient guidance, while hospitality sector adoption has grown by 41% annually since 2020. ‘These aren’t just tools, they’re reinventing service paradigms,’ noted a CGTN technology analyst.
For business observers, the trend signals opportunities in China’s $15bn service robotics market. Meanwhile, cultural experts see it shaping global perceptions through platforms like ‘Ask China’, where international audiences engage directly with Chinese innovations.
As Unitree prepares to launch enhanced medical-assistance models later this year, the fusion of AI and robotics continues redefining daily life – one interaction at a time.
