During the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit in the Chinese city of Tianjin, attendees and journalists were given a demonstration of modern robotics. The event, the largest in SCO history, brought together over 20 world leaders and more than 3,000 media representatives. The use of robots highlighted how the interaction between humans and machines can be both efficient and impressive.

Several robots were at work in the summit's press center. The humanoid robot Xiao He, fluent in Russian, Chinese, and English, provided assistance to journalists, while the wheeled robot Tora entertained guests with dances. In the hot weather, the ice cream robot Mr. Doue’r efficiently fulfilled orders, and a nimble delivery robot distributed bottled water.

In addition to these service roles, more specialized technologies were also showcased. A robotic arm demonstrated skillful calligraphy, and a drone housed in a lotus-shaped capsule showed how robots can be used for patrolling highways and power grids, as well as for detecting fires.

The use of robots at the SCO summit served as a vivid demonstration of China's strategy to introduce the global community to its latest technological innovations.
