A new retail store, Robot Mall, has opened in Beijing, China, selling a wide range of robots, including mechanical butlers and human-like replicas. This marks one of the first outlets in China to offer consumer-oriented and humanoid robots directly to the public, signaling China's significant investment in robotics and artificial intelligence.

• Over 100 types of robot products are available, with prices ranging from 2,000 yuan (approximately $278) to several million yuan.
• Wang Yifan, a store director, emphasized the importance of public accessibility for robots to enter households.
• The mall offers sales, spare parts, and maintenance services, and is located next to a robot-served restaurant, coinciding with the World Robot Conference in Beijing.
