World's First Robot 9S Store Opens in Changsha as Five Agencies Jointly Boost Low-Altitude Economy

This week, the world's first robotic 9S store, "Super Robot World," officially opened in Changsha, covering a total area of 15,000 square meters, with nearly 5,000 square meters launched in its initial phase. The store upgrades the traditional 4S model into a comprehensive 9S system encompassing scenario-based demonstrations, sales, leasing, customized development, after-sales service, new product launches, innovation incubation, science education, and talent training. Integrating hardware retail, solution provision, and industrial incubation functions, it showcases over 100 robot products and more than 50 immersive application scenarios. In the same week, China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) and four other government departments jointly issued a policy document, setting a clear target to achieve at least 90% ground-based communication network coverage for national low-altitude public air routes by 2027. The initiative aims to accelerate the deployment of typical applications in logistics and cultural tourism by leveraging technologies such as 5G and BeiDou to support low-altitude infrastructure development. Additionally, WeRide and Uber expanded their Robotaxi service to cover 70% of Abu Dhabi’s core urban areas. UBTECH unveiled its fully open-source, research-oriented humanoid robot “Tiangong Walker DEX.” Meanwhile, Magic Atom established its national headquarters in Wuxi and launched a multi-billion-yuan industrial fund focused on embodied intelligence and the low-altitude economy.
