Robot in Shaanxi sells drinks and ice creams

Unmanned convenience stores, vending machines, mobile payment...thanks to the latest technology, shopping has become even more effortless.

But shopping experience will go further than that: an eye-catching robot in Xi'an, Northwest China's Shaanxi province, has hit the streets selling drinks and ice creams.

Powered by 4G networking and artificial intelligence, the human-shaped robot, Mr Doer, offers ice creams and drinks on its own. The robot can also recite adapted poems or even dance to attract customers.
