AGIBOT Deploys 300+ Robots at Chimelong Theme Park

Recap

Source: Humanoids Daily, report of Sept. 24, 2026

According to the report, AGIBOT and Chimelong Group announced the first phase of a robotics deployment at Chimelong Spaceship Park in Zhuhai, China, on September 24. The partners stated that more than 300 robots will be integrated into the visitor experience, covering seven distinct application areas: entertainment, education, guidance and shopping assistance, retail, companionship, hotel services, and sports.

The company describes specific roles for the machines, including performing gymnastics and tai chi, playing table tennis, and engaging in manipulation challenges. Other units are assigned to introduce exhibits, answer visitor questions, and guide guests through designated park areas. In hospitality settings, the robots are intended to welcome hotel guests and sustain multi-turn conversations.

AGIBOT, Chimelong, and China Mobile reported establishing a dedicated 5G-A network to support connectivity across busy zones, with centralized coordination managing the fleet. The partners also outlined safeguards for network security, privacy, charging, and fire safety, though they did not publish technical details or operating measurements. The announcement noted that the delivery to Chimelong marks the 20,000th robot rolling off AGIBOT’s production line, a cumulative manufacturing milestone rather than a claim that all units are deployed at the park. The partners also announced a joint research institute focused on embodied AI in culture and tourism.

Context

Chimelong Spaceship Park began trial operations in September 2023, meaning this is a robotics integration into an existing destination rather than the opening of a new facility. This deployment follows AGIBOT’s recent promotion of its A3 Ultra model for applications in hotels, shops, and metro inspection. By placing robots in a high-traffic theme park, AGIBOT moves beyond laboratory demonstrations into a complex, real-world environment where reliability and user interaction are critical. The involvement of China Mobile highlights the infrastructure requirements for large-scale, simultaneous robot operations in dense public spaces.

Robot's take

The scale of this deployment is significant, but the announcement lacks transparency on which specific robot models are performing each role and how many are operating simultaneously at launch. The claim of 300+ robots is an announced scale, not a verified live inventory. The real test will be operational: how often staff intervene, how robots handle interrupted conversations and unexpected movements, and how charging logistics fit around park opening hours. Connectivity and fleet coordination are necessary but do not guarantee autonomous operation. The next useful evidence will be sustained operating results, including which roles visitors actually use and the level of human support required to keep the experience running smoothly.
