Beijing is stepping up its tech game! The city is set to unveil the world’s first "4S store" dedicated to embodied AI robots. This innovative center, launching in Yizhuang’s buzzing robotics industrial park during the 2025 World Robot Conference (Aug 8-12), promises an immersive experience—think sales, service, spare parts, and surveys all in one spot, much like your favorite auto 4S outlets.
Visitors will be wowed by scenario-based demos and real-life interactions with advanced robots 🤖. The facility isn’t just a showroom; it’s built with a nationwide rapid-response parts network and a professional support team ready for maintenance, assembly, and repair. This makes it a one-stop hub for tech enthusiasts and robotics fans alike!
Industry insiders are already buzzing. Over 100 supply chain enterprises, including 30 that specialize in humanoid robots, have expressed interest in joining the movement. Top players such as the Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Center, UBTECH, and Galaxea have signed on as early partners. As Liang Liang, deputy director of Yizhuang's administrative committee, noted, this 4S store is a key milestone in nurturing a vibrant robotics ecosystem that boosts Yizhuang’s global influence in the robotics arena.
With more than 300 robotics and smart manufacturing enterprises already calling Yizhuang home—and having hosted unique events like the world’s first humanoid robot half-marathon—this initiative underscores the area’s role as a dynamic and forward-thinking tech hub. It’s an exciting time for technology lovers and early professionals looking to witness the future of robotics in action!
