Unitree Robotics opened its first embodied intelligence experience store in Asia on May 31 at Jiuguang Department Store on West Nanjing Road in Shanghai's Jing'an district.

The new store brings advanced robotics from the lab to one of the city's busiest commercial areas. On opening day, which fell on a Sunday, crowds of local residents and shoppers from the nearby Jing'an Temple area filled the store. Families, especially children, gathered around the display areas to watch the demonstrations and try out the products.

Inside, Unitree's robots drew a steady stream of curious visitors. A robot dog moved across the floor, climbed slopes, turned around, and jumped, while humanoid robots mimicked hand gestures and performed lifelike movements.

One visitor said she has been following the development of intelligent technology online for a while, but seeing it in person close to home was especially impressive.

The store, which covers more than 100 square meters, displays and sells Unitree's latest consumer products, including the G1 humanoid robot, the R1 humanoid robot, and the Go2 robot dog.
