Agibot, Chimelong put more than 300 robots into theme park

Agibot, Chimelong put more than 300 robots into theme park

3 Key Points

  1. What happened

    Agibot and Chimelong Group launched the first phase of an embodied AI deployment at Chimelong Spaceship Park, with more than 300 robots handling seven use cases — including live entertainment, visitor guidance, hotel services and AI-powered companionship. The launch also marked delivery of Agibot's 20,000th robot off its production line.

  2. Why it matters

    The project is positioned as a reference for applying embodied AI in complex commercial settings, and the two companies also announced a joint research institute on embodied AI in culture and tourism, suggesting the model may be studied for wider tourism and hospitality use.

  3. What to watch

    The system rests on a dedicated 5G-A network built with China Mobile, so reliability across high-traffic areas is the test; the first phase is also framed as a foundation for expanding robot roles across Chimelong's other environments over time.

WHO IT HITSTheme park and hotel operators get a live test case for putting robots into guest-facing work rather than one-off demos, while robotics vendors get a large-scale deployment reference. Operators weighing similar rollouts will likely watch whether the coordination and safety setup holds up in high-traffic areas.

Context & Analysis

Chimelong Spaceship Park, described as the world's largest indoor amusement park, is the setting for a deployment that Agibot and Chimelong present as more than a demonstration. The robots are woven into guest-facing and operational roles, and a dedicated 5G-A network built with China Mobile plus centralized coordination is meant to keep them responsive in high-traffic areas.

Agibot and Chimelong have also announced a joint research institute focused on embodied AI in culture and tourism. Drawing on operational experience from the project, it will explore applications, operating models and technologies that could support broader adoption of robotics across tourism, entertainment and hospitality. The first phase is framed as a foundation for expanding robot applications across Chimelong's environments over time.

What the project ultimately proves may hinge on how reliably the coordination and safety measures perform day to day, and on whether the joint institute turns this single destination's experience into a repeatable model. For now, the pairing of a large-scale deployment with a production-line milestone offers robotics vendors and venue operators a rare public reference point, though the wider significance remains a matter of how the first phase plays out.

FAQ
Where is this robot deployment happening?
