China opened its first full-scale shopping center dedicated entirely to robots on Friday, as part of a broader push to bring robotics from research labs into people’s homes.

China has inaugurated the world's first Robot Mall in Shenzhen, where humanoid robots are both the staff and the merchandise. These AI-powered machines manage cafes, shops, and entertainment spaces, offering an immersive glimpse into the future of retail and hospitality.

The mall will sell over 100 types of robots from up to 200 brands and features a robot-themed restaurant, as well as an entertainment zone.
