In the Chinese city of Tianjin, artificial intelligence and robotics are becoming an increasingly important part of cultural tourism. During the Intelligent Robot Carnival, held alongside the 2026 World Intelligence Expo, visitors had the opportunity to explore cutting-edge technological innovations and interact directly with robots.
Among the most popular attractions were humanoid robots taking part in boxing matches controlled by operators through virtual reality systems. Robot musicians, dancers, robotic calligraphy demonstrations, and interactive science exhibits also drew significant attention from the public.
Experts note that the rapid development of AI and embodied intelligence is creating entirely new opportunities for the cultural and tourism sectors. These technologies help develop unique entertainment experiences, promote science education, and attract visitors through immersive and engaging formats.
Local authorities plan to further develop the carnival as one of Tianjin’s signature brands, combining innovation, culture, and tourism while strengthening the city’s position as one of China’s leading smart cities.
