Wuhan, Hubei province, has opened China's first "7S shop" for humanoid robots on Tuesday, a retail and service model that extends the country's familiar 4S car dealership concept.
Developed by the Hubei Humanoid Robot Innovation Center, the 7S model expands the traditional 4S framework — sales, spare parts, service, and survey — by adding three new elements: solution, show, and school.
The store offers humanoid robots priced between 70,000 yuan ($9,834) and 500,000 yuan, designed for uses ranging from industrial manufacturing and tourism guidance to elder care and healthcare services. All robots on display are produced locally.
