Mercedes-Benz dealerships have begun selling humanoid robots, specifically the U1 model from UBTECH, through a partnership with the Bosh Group. This initiative allows customers in the Beijing, Tianjin, and Hebei regions to experience and purchase these advanced robots, which can engage with customers and enhance the car-buying experience.
The collaboration aims to create a complete industrial ecosystem that includes technology research and development, channel operations, and after-sales service. The Bosh Group previously launched a robot experience store called 'Mechanical Eden,' which has reportedly increased foot traffic and customer engagement at Mercedes-Benz locations.
Moving forward, the U1 humanoid robots will be gradually introduced into various Bosh Group dealerships, enhancing high-end automotive services and offering retail and rental options to affluent customers. This initiative marks a significant step towards the commercialization of humanoid robots, potentially setting a new standard in the industry.
