Humanoid robots have been deployed at major intersections in the Chinese city of Hangzhou to assist traffic police and guide pedestrians during the May Day holiday period.
Local authorities have announced that a total of 15 robots have been deployed to support traffic management in one of the most popular technology and artificial intelligence cities in China.
The robots have been seen directing traffic, raising their arms to signal the movement of vehicles and interacting with passersby, Euronews reported on Monday.
In addition to their practical role, the devices have also attracted the attention of citizens and tourists, who have stopped to take photos and videos.
Hangzhou is known as an important center of artificial intelligence development and is home to several major companies in this sector, including DeepSeek.
