Li Huagang, chairman and president of Haier Smart Home, announced on Weibo that China’s first AI home robotics experience store opened today in Qingdao.
According to Li Huagang, more than 10 Haier AI exoskeleton robot experience stores have opened in succession. At the Qingdao store, visitors can try on exoskeleton robots, undergo gait analysis, and receive precise one-on-one adjustments.
The store is located at No. 128 Miaoling Branch Road, Laoshan District, Qingdao. Visitors can enjoy immersive demonstrations of cooking, housekeeping, cleaning, and companion robots, offering a one-stop glimpse into smart home living.
IT Home has learned that Haier launched the W3, the world’s lightest AI-powered sports exoskeleton robot, in May this year. Featuring an all-carbon-fiber and titanium-alloy design, it weighs just 1.75 kg, setting a new industry record. Built-in multidimensional sensors intelligently adapt to 12 everyday activity and terrain scenarios. Equipped with high-torque dual motors and a high-energy battery, it provides up to 16 N·m of assistance per leg, reduces the user’s load by approximately 5 kg, and cuts physical exertion by up to 37%.
