Robots and Adventure: Exploring China with High-Tech Helpers 🤖🏞️
Hey there, adventure seekers! Have you ever imagined going on a hike with a robot or exploring a museum where robots bring history to life? Well, in the Chinese mainland, that’s exactly what’s happening!
Robots in the Pear Orchard 🍐🤖
In a beautiful place called the Shichuan Ancient Pear Orchard in Gaolan County, northwest China’s Gansu Province, robots are leading tourists around the orchard’s most amazing spots! These aren’t just any robots—they can avoid obstacles and climb tricky terrain, making sure visitors have a fantastic time.
One visitor, Mr. Zhang, was super excited. “It was a pleasant surprise! I didn’t expect to make friends with high-tech in the ancient pear orchard,” he said. “Its movements were very flexible, and it seemed to be listening intently to me. It was just like communicating with a real person!”
Climb Mountains with Exoskeletons! 🦾⛰️
Have you ever thought climbing a mountain was too hard? At Mount Tai, a famous mountain in east China’s Shandong Province, you can rent an exoskeleton robot to help you hike! These wearable devices make climbing easier by boosting your strength. They can even make a three-hour hike feel like just one and a half hours!
During the recent holiday, all the exoskeletons were rented out every day. Some people waited up to two hours just to try them! For about 80 yuan (that’s around $11) for three hours, you can climb with some high-tech help.
Robots Helping Out Everywhere 🤖🌟
In many places across the Chinese mainland, robots are making travel more fun and safe. In the Beijing Grand Canal Cultural Tourism Scenic Area, a robot named Xiaoyu is helping with security. It can alert tourists about safety issues, detect fires with its special cameras, and even help you if you press the SOS button on its shoulder!
Robots are also performing traditional arts like Tai Chi, serving tea, and guiding tourists in many attractions. Imagine watching a robot gracefully perform Tai Chi moves or serve you a cup of tea!
The Future of Travel is Here 🚀
More than 314 million trips were made during the recent holiday in the Chinese mainland, and many people got to experience these cool robot helpers. From making hikes easier to providing interactive experiences in museums, robots are changing the way we travel and explore.
As Guo Qiang, a sales manager at a robotics company, said, “Robots are walking into China’s scenic areas on a large scale and in an explosive manner, serving as a catalyst for an upgrade of cultural tourism services.”
So next time you plan a trip, maybe you’ll get to meet one of these amazing robots. Who knows, maybe they’ll become your new travel buddy! 🤖❤️
