- The report describes an operating retail demonstration, with reported staff figures kept separate from independently audited results.
- Visitors can place orders through scanning, conversation or a screen.
A small retail demonstration
A robot shop occupying less than five square metres is serving visitors near Andufang wharf in Wuzhen's Xizha area, according to a November 4 field report by Zhejiang Daily carried on Zhejiang Online. The reporter describes a visitor buying a coffee drink after a recommendation from the shop's AI store manager.
Customers at the shop, called Shaomaigou, can order by scanning, speaking or using an electronic screen. The report says the robot then picks up the selected item and hands it through a window, with the process taking 15 seconds. This describes the observed retail workflow, rather than a general benchmark for robotic picking.
Deployment figures remain attributed
Fei Zengjun, identified as a SenseTime Shanhui staff member, told the reporter that the shop stocked more than 100 bread, drink and snack products, with daily summit-period revenue around 1,500 yuan. He said more than 30 such shops had been deployed in cities including Hefei and Shenzhen. These are staff-reported operating figures, not independently audited sales or proof of profitability.
