On September 8th, Taiwan Strait Network reported (Reporter Chen Jinglin and Huang Yilin/Photo provided by the Organizing Committee of the China International Fair for Cultural and Investment) that visitors came to the fair to drink a cup of latte art coffee hand kneaded by robots and smell the fragrance of Kunming flowers thousands of miles away.
Today, the 26th China International Fair for Investment and Trade (CIFIT) officially kicked off at the Xiamen International Expo Center. The 200000 square meter exhibition opened its doors to welcome visitors, allowing merchants from all over the world to immerse themselves in the world's unique products, cutting-edge technological achievements, and diverse investment opportunities. Through negotiations, exchanges, and interactive experiences, they sought out cooperation opportunities.
Intelligent employees' on duty robots transform into exhibition service specialists
There are robots on the booth that catch the eye, and there are also robots on duty in the exhibition hall.
This year's Investment and Trade Fair welcomes a special group of "intelligent employees" – nearly 20 designated robots from the fair are all on duty, responsible for various tasks such as welcome guidance, consultation and Q&A, booth guidance, interactive experience, etc. They all come from the Yuanqi Innovation Robot Exhibition Center in Xiamen Free Trade Zone, covering multiple models such as "Expedition A3", "Expedition A2", and "Lingxi X2".
In order to better serve the conference, the technical team has been customizing multiple sets of interactive scenarios since June this year. Robots can not only guide and explain, but also proficiently brew Minnan Kung Fu tea, pick up a pen and write calligraphy on site, and even act as assistants to event hosts, connecting the on-site process and guiding customers to participate in activities.
Through a seamless integration of traditional Minnan culture and hardcore robotics technology, customers can intuitively experience the achievements of emerging industries such as embodied intelligence in Xiamen through interactive experiences.
The person in charge of Yuanqi Innovation (Xiamen) Robotics expressed the hope to use the high-level international economic and trade platform of the China International Fair for Trade and Investment to showcase the customized technology strength of domestic robots to domestic and foreign merchants, connect with global industrial partners, and help domestic intelligent technology enter a broader market.
Various exhibition halls compete for excellence, bringing a new experience of intelligent exhibition viewing
At this year's Investment and Trade Fair, the exhibition areas of various provinces, regions, and cities showcased their strengths, including the concentrated appearance of hardcore technology and the vivid presentation of distinctive industries and urban charm.
As one of the guest provinces of this year's Investment Fair, Guangdong has built a 720 square meter themed exhibition hall, which exudes a sense of technology. The exhibition hall breaks away from the traditional display board preaching mode and focuses on visible and tangible real-life interactive experiences, showcasing a large number of AI application achievements – AI industry maps, autonomous driving minibuses, coffee robots, and robotic dogs appearing one after another, bringing Guangdong's industrial strength from the exhibition board to the eyes of visitors.
Here, customers can ride on autonomous minibuses to experience smart travel, or take hot coffee brewed by robots with exquisite latte art; You can also have face-to-face conversations with embodied intelligent robots, experience multiple new smart wearable products, and experience the charm of cutting-edge technology up close.
Entering the Kunming Pavilion, the fragrance of flowers fills the air. A large number of flowers flew across thousands of miles to Xiamen, and the 5-meter-high flower waterfall became an eye-catching check-in point on site, bringing the romantic atmosphere of the spring city of Kunming directly to Egret Island. Yu Siyuan, a staff member of Kunming Municipal Bureau of Commerce, introduced that the flowers that came from afar allow exhibitors to experience the charm of the Spring City without leaving the museum.
The Hong Kong exhibition area is also full of highlights, and the Tem service robot brought by Hong Kong Bo Ge Technology will make a wonderful appearance. It is understood that this commercial robot is equipped with advanced AI navigation technology and has functions such as intelligent following, remote exhibition browsing, and live streaming explanations. On site, robots will be paired with AI virtual anchors to promote innovative products from Hong Kong Design Gallery in the fields of intelligent health and cultural and creative industries, bringing a new intelligent exhibition experience.
In addition, in the New Quality Productivity Zone, humanoid robots, industrial collaboration equipment, and AI solutions from various industries will be showcased to visually demonstrate the practical application of AI technology in China.
