Humanoid robot mall in Beijing will sell over 100 types of robots from up to 200 brands and features a robot-themed restaurant, as well as an entertainment zone.

China opened its first full-scale shopping center dedicated entirely to robots on Friday, as part of a broader push to bring robotics from research labs into people’s homes.

Over 500 robots competed in soccer, boxing, and running. In many cases, gravity was the real winner. This week, China’s leading robotics minds gathered in Beijing for a hotly-anticipated, Olympics-style event dubbed the world’s first “ Humanoid Robot Games. ”

China has inaugurated the world's first Robot Mall in Shenzhen, where humanoid robots are both the staff and the merchandise. These AI-powered machines manage cafes, shops, and entertainment spaces, offering an immersive glimpse into the future of retail and hospitality.

Shenzhen’s plan aims for an industrial output of over 100 billion yuan by 2027, leveraging its dense network of AI companies and its strong manufacturing base. The city, known as China’s “Silicon Valley,” intends to use its industrial chain to accelerate robotics innovation and adoption.
