Xiang Zongyang, chief operating officer of Shanghai Embodied Intelligence Technology Co, said further efforts would be made to improve the humanoid robot's ability to meet the diverse needs of different visitor groups.

"We always believe that embodied intelligence requires extensive hands-on experience and repeated refinement in real-world business scenarios. The collaboration with the Grand Halls will allow us to improve our robots' interaction logic and capabilities," said Xiang.

Xiang said Shanghai Embodied Intelligence is hoping to expand its robot services to various business, culture and tourism outlets.

Situated at the intersection of the Huangpu River and Suzhou Creek, the Grand Halls opened to the public in 2024. Reconstructed from three historical buildings, the site has been renovated to incorporate modern design elements while retaining its original style.
