AGIBOT’s 300-Robot Theme Park Moves From Plan to Operation

ZHUHAI, China — More than 300 AGIBOT robots are now roaming a Chinese theme park, performing martial arts, guiding visitors, answering questions and interacting with hotel guests in one of the largest public tests yet of robots working alongside crowds.

The launch combines entertainment and guest services, AGIBOT reported Sept. 24. The robots perform entertainment (gymnastics, tai chi, games) and service roles (guiding, answering questions, assisting hotel guests). The Zhuhai-based company and tourism operator Chimelong Group announced the deployment earlier this week, and the project is now fully operational.
The scale makes Chimelong more than another staged robotics demonstration. It becomes an actual test of how a large and varied robot fleet works alongside families and hotel guests throughout extended operating hours.
According to AGIBOT, the robots operate in seven areas: live entertainment, science education, guided tours, retail services, companion experiences, hotel services, and sports.

Some roles remain unmistakably entertainment. Visitors can watch robots perform martial arts, gymnastics and tai chi or interact with them through table tennis and manipulation games.

Others move closer to conventional service-robot domain. AGIBOT says robots can answer questions, present exhibits, give directions and lead tours. In hotels and other guest settings, they can greet guests and converse.

Maintaining the operation of more than 300 machines in visitor areas also presents a unique engineering challenge compared to running a handful of robots in a controlled demonstration.

AGIBOT says it and partners implemented a specialized 5G‑Advanced network. The company says centralized coordination systems manage robots across park and hotel environments, while additional systems handle charging needs and oversee network security and privacy protection.
The company has not released key operating data. Neither AGIBOT nor Chimelong has provided uptime statistics, task-completion rates, human supervision metrics, and model-specific fleet breakdowns. The companies also have not disclosed the project's value.
The lack of disclosure makes it hard to tell what share of the deployment is autonomous service versus scheduled entertainment or supervised visitor interaction.

That makes it difficult to determine how much of the deployment represents autonomous service work rather than scheduled entertainment and supervised visitor interaction.

The opening also coincided with AGIBOT's delivery of its 20,000th robot, an A3 Ultra, to Chimelong. The company previously said it reached 10,000 robots in March and 15,000 in June. Those production figures do not establish how many machines have been delivered to paying customers or remain in active operation.
