HOW THIS DAY FEELS

Wonder · Connection

Feel wonder as robots perform, delivery drones cross the skyline and an autonomous vehicle carries you through Shenzhen. Along the way, see how these technologies fit into real shops, parks and public streets rather than a closed exhibition hall.

Day-by-day itinerary

Day 1: Robot 6S Store and Shenzhen’s Consumer Robotics Scene

Your guide and driver will meet you at your hotel or designated Shenzhen meeting point. Begin at the Robot 6S Store, where humanoid robots, robotic dogs and service robots are presented in a retail and demonstration environment.

Rather than seeing robotics only through news clips or trade-show announcements, you can watch how the store brings robots into a public-facing commercial setting. Depending on the day’s programme, there may be scheduled robot performances or interactive demonstrations.

The purpose of the visit is not to claim that every robot is ready for home use, but to see where Shenzhen’s robot industry is trying to move next.

Day 2: Drone Delivery

Continue to Shenzhen Talent Park, where a public green space and city skyline form the setting for a closer look at drone delivery. Visit the delivery-station area and observe how orders are collected, loaded and delivered through the drone network when flights are operating.

Note: Drone operations depend on weather, airspace rules, operating hours and real-time demand. A live flight cannot be guaranteed on every departure.

Day 3: Autonomous Driving Experience

In the afternoon, continue to an available autonomous-driving area for a driverless mobility experience. Depending on public operations and reservation availability, this may involve an autonomous minibus, robotaxi or another approved self-driving public-transport route.

This is a public technology service, not a private test drive. Routes, passenger limits, service hours and vehicle availability can change, so the final arrangement should be confirmed shortly before the tour date.

Day 4: INNO100 and Smart Devices in Daily Life

End the day at INNO100 Global Innovation Flagship Store, where visitors can browse a changing range of consumer technology. Depending on current stock and displays, this may include AI translation devices, smart wearables, foldable-screen products, home technology and other innovations developed for everyday use.

The final stop gives context to the rest of the day. The robot store, drone station and autonomous ride show large systems operating in public; INNO100 brings the focus back to devices people can hold, test and use in daily life.
