As part of an effort to enhance the visitor experience at the cultural landmark, the Grand Halls in Shanghai put its first humanoid robot to work on Tuesday.
According to its operator, the humanoid robot will offer multilingual tours, intelligent guidance and is capable of answering questions.
"The number 001 robot is expected to support the Grand Halls' operations across a variety of scenarios, from government receptions and corporate events to public tours and cultural exhibitions," said Bian Min, deputy general manager of the Grand Halls.
According to Bian, after five years' of development, the Grand Halls has become an important platform for showcasing Shanghai's image and conducting international exchanges.
"The introduction of the robot employee will help ease manpower shortages, enabling us to provide the public with more efficient, friendly and distinctive services," Bian said.
