- The 15 robots first started work in early May, rather than being newly deployed this week.
- The holiday report describes improved mobility, visitor dialogue and booths for autonomous charging.
Robots alongside officers
Hangzhou’s 15 AI traffic robots, first deployed around West Lake in early May, are working alongside traffic officers during the National Day holiday, Hangzhou Daily reported in an October 4 article carried by Hangzhou.com.cn.
Compared with the May holiday, the report says the robots have received upgrades to chassis movement and dialogue with visitors. It also describes new booths that let the robots enter and leave independently to recharge. Hangzhou Daily describes the booths as a national first; this brief has not independently verified that comparison.
Separate road patrol systems
The report also describes unmanned road-patrol vehicles supporting autonomous patrol or remote takeover. These are separate from the traffic robots. Their presence should not be interpreted as a removal of human traffic supervision.
