During the National Day holiday, under the guidance of the Hubei Humanoid Robot Innovation Center, the first humanoid robot "7S" store in Yichang 鈥?jointly developed by Yichang Big Data Group and Hubei Dashu Intelligent Technology Company 鈥?officially began trial operations at the Three Gorges (Yichang) Big Data Industrial Park, marking a key step forward for Yichang Big Data Group in its embodied intelligence industry layout and adding a new carrier to the city's digital industry ecosystem.
The "7S" New Business Format: One-Stop Integrated Full-Ecosystem Services
What exactly is a "7S" store? It is not a product showroom in the traditional sense, but rather a single venue that integrates seven major functions: complete machine Sales, Spare parts supply, Service, Survey, Solution, Show, and School. It covers the entire service chain from pre-sale to after-sale, creating an immersive technology experience space where visitors can see, play, learn, and make purchases.
A Full Range of Products: Humanoid and Quadruped Robots on the Same Stage
The store showcases a variety of embodied intelligence products. On the humanoid robot side, bionic robots such as the Gelanruo C1, Unitree G1, and Songyan Dynamics W1 can serve as intelligent guides explaining exhibits, engage in natural conversations with visitors, and even perform synchronized dance routines when music plays. On the quadruped robot side, the Unitree Go2 Pro and Gelanruo D2-W industrial inspection robot dogs are also on display, intuitively demonstrating the hardcore performance of industrial-grade robots with their agile movement, precise perception, and all-terrain capabilities. On opening day, the store attracted numerous residents who stopped to take photos, creating a lively atmosphere.
Immersive Experience: Hands-On Operation for Full Satisfaction
The store features multiple interactive experience zones: an AI chess robot that can play, review games, and provide commentary; powered exoskeleton robots that let visitors personally feel the empowerment of technology; and soccer and boxing competitive combat robots that can be operated by hand for an exhilarating robot battle.
Science and Innovation Classroom: Learning Through Play to Ignite Scientific Dreams
The store also offers youth robot enlightenment and programming courses. The curriculum system progresses from basic to advanced, covering foundational practical training, in-depth hands-on operation, and comprehensive competition training, focusing on cultivating young people's innovative thinking and hands-on abilities.
Currently, Yichang is accelerating its efforts to build itself into a "Capital of Computing Power" and "Three Gorges Digital Valley." The humanoid robot "7S" store not only allows residents to experience the charm of cutting-edge technology up close in their own neighborhood, but also provides a new platform for the transformation of embodied intelligence achievements and industrial clustering, injecting new momentum into the city's digital economy development.
