Life-like robots for sale to the public as China opens new store

In Beijing, China, a new and innovative store called Robot Mall has just opened its doors to the public, offering a wide variety of robots for sale. This store is unique because it sells more than 100 different types of robots, including mechanical helpers and life-like humanoid robots. One of the most eye-catching robots in the store is a replica of Albert Einstein, the famous scientist. Customers can find robots that look and act like humans, as well as robots designed to look like animals, such as robot dogs. The prices for these robots range from 2,000 yuan, which is about $278, to several million yuan for the most advanced models.

Robot Mall is not just a place to buy robots; it also provides services similar to a car dealership. Customers can purchase spare parts and get maintenance for their robots if something goes wrong. There is a special section in the store dedicated to fixing and upgrading robots. Next to the store, there is a themed restaurant where robots serve food and even cook meals. This makes the experience of visiting Robot Mall even more interesting, as people can see robots working in real-life situations.

China has been investing a lot of money in robotics and artificial intelligence to solve problems like slow economic growth and an aging population. The government has given more than $20 billion in subsidies to support the robotics industry over the past year. They are also planning to create a huge fund worth 1 trillion yuan to help new AI and robotics companies get started. Robot Mall features products from more than 200 brands from China and other countries. The opening of the store happened at the same time as the World Robot Conference, a major event in Beijing where over 1,500 robots are on display from more than 200 companies. Beijing is also getting ready to host the first World Humanoid Robot Games, where teams from over 20 countries will compete in events like track and field, dance, and football using their robots. Robot Mall is one of the first stores of its kind in China and shows how important robots are becoming in everyday life.
