Travel Guides & Tips in this video
Hafu Go and Amy spend 100 hours exploring automated services and robotics in Shenzhen. They order through WeChat using QR codes, watch a SpongeBob-themed delivery drone and test reusable packaging before trying robot-delivered drinks and a burger. They encounter a sweeping robot and try a driverless taxi in a controlled area, noting that it requires a phone number and can make risky routing decisions. At Shenzhen's High-Tech Park they observe a simulated knee operation with a surgical robot. Their trip also includes AI smart-room controls through Xiao Kang, a hotel delivery robot, a humanoid robot dance, robot coffee and latte art, and a drone show at Window of the World. They also see the robot dance show, robot-made coffee and latte art, and the drone display at Window of the World. Inside the smart hotel room, the AI assistant Xiao Kang responds to commands for room controls, while a hotel robot carries items to guests. Their 100 hours in Shenzhen include ordinary public spaces as well as demonstrations, making it possible to compare what works reliably with systems that still fail. The account treats the technology as a set of experiments and observations rather than proof that automation has replaced human staff.

Robot services and autonomous transport
Hafu Go explores Shenzhen's robotics with Amy. They scan QR codes with WeChat to order services, watch a SpongeBob-themed delivery drone and try reusable packaging. A robot system delivers a drink and a burger, and the pair rate the usefulness of different machines. They also encounter a sweeping robot and ride a driverless taxi in a controlled area. Starting the taxi requires entering phone-number digits, and the route includes a drop-off in traffic that raises safety concerns. The trip presents both the convenience and limitations of the systems they try.
Medical simulation and smart rooms
At Shenzhen's High-Tech Park, the pair observe a simulated knee operation using a surgical robot and robotic arm. This is a demonstration under professional supervision, not a medical procedure for viewers to attempt. They also stay in an AI smart hotel room where assistant Xiao Kang controls room features, and a hotel robot delivers items to the room.
Their visit includes humanoid robots, a robot dance show, coffee made by a robot and latte art. A drone show at Window of the World and the subway's distinctive architecture add other examples of technology in public spaces. Some machines work smoothly while others are broken or imperfect, giving the pair a more mixed view than a simple claim that robots are ready to replace people. Hafu's 100-hour exploration focuses on what the machines can do now, how useful they are in daily life and where their limits remain.
FAQs (From the traveler's perspective)
- Q: Is the technology ready to replace humans?
- A: The video shows impressive progress as well as limitations and failures. Hafu's experience suggests a mix of growing capability and systems that are not ready to replace people across the board.
- Q: What did Hafu and Amy order using the robot services?
- A: They scanned WeChat QR codes to use robot services, watched a delivery drone and tried a robot-delivered drink and burger. They also tested reusable packaging.
- Q: What happened during the surgical robot demonstration?
- A: At the High-Tech Park, they observed a simulated knee operation using a robotic arm under professional supervision. It was a demonstration, not an unsupervised medical procedure.
