What happens when robots move out of the laboratory and into everyday life? In Shenzhen, Travelogue hosts Alex McCutcheon and Jack Klumpp get a hands-on look at the possibilities inside a robot 6S store — a place that feels less like a technology showroom and more like a supermarket for robots. From petting a robotic dog and dancing alongside embodied AI robots to sampling food prepared by robotic chefs, the two hosts discover just how far robotics has come. But the real test comes when Jack straps on an exoskeleton designed to assist with heavy lifting. His challenge? Picking up Alex, who weighs over 100 kilograms. With a little help from the technology, the task suddenly feels much easier. The experience offers a glimpse of how robots and wearable devices could help people in their daily lives, from physical labor to household tasks. And in a city where innovation is moving at full speed, these machines are no longer just futuristic concepts — they're becoming something people can see, touch, and try for themselves.
