Life-like robots are for sale at a new store in China
Srinagar, Aug 08: A new store in Beijing is drawing attention with its futuristic inventory — from mechanical butlers to lifelike replicas of Albert Einstein. Launched on Friday, Robot Mall offers more than 100 types of robots, making it one of China’s first retail outlets dedicated to humanoid and consumer-focused machines.
“If robots are to enter thousands of households, relying solely on robotics companies is not enough,” Wang Yifan, a store director, told Reuters. According to reports the robots on sale range in price from 2,000 yuan ($278, £207) to several million yuan.
