Cheetah Mobile, a global innovator in AI-driven robotic solutions, has announced its smart vending robot, FANBOT, to international markets. In contrast to traditional vending machines, the FANBOT can autonomously identify and approach potential customers in complex and high-traffic environments, such as shopping malls, retail stores, gyms, cinemas, libraries, hotel lobbies and airport terminals.

In response to the shifting environment in the events and trade show industry due to COVID-19, Cheetah Mobile introduced its exhibition solutions powered by three AI-driven service robots: GreetBot, EngageBot and FanBot.

OrionStar, the robotics company invested in by Cheetah Mobile, has announced the Robotic Coffee Master, a humanoid robot barista that simulates master-level brewing techniques and guarantees a refined taste in every cup.

Cheetah Mobile has successfully deployed more than 7,000 AiM Robots (AiM: Attract, interact and Mindset) in 887 shopping malls across 32 cities in China. The AiM Robots double as an interactive advertising platform and information desk, boosting sales and ushering in the smart retail era for brick-and-mortar shops hammered by COVID-19.
