In a recent online sensation, China’s prowess in cutting-edge technology takes center stage once again with the introduction of a room service robot in a Shanghai hotel. Travel vlogger Ken Abroad shared a captivating video on Instagram, capturing his awe-inspiring encounter with the robotic delivery assistant.
The video commences with Abroad’s anticipation as he hears the phone ring, signaling the robot’s arrival. Despite the robotic voice speaking in Chinese, Abroad eagerly awaits its appearance. As the door swings open, he is greeted by the sight of the robot patiently stationed outside his room. With a tap on the device, the top compartment gracefully opens, revealing his neatly packaged food. A simple tap later, the compartment securely shuts, and the robot gracefully departs. Abroad’s excitement is palpable as he marvels, “This is so cool. Thank you for the delivery.”
Accompanying the video, Abroad’s caption invites viewers to contemplate the futuristic experience of having their meals delivered by robots. Reflecting on China’s embrace of automation, the post underscores President Xi Jinping’s 2014 call for a “robot revolution” in manufacturing. China’s rapid strides towards automation have been further accelerated during the pandemic, with robots stepping in to enforce safety protocols and minimize human interaction.
