On September 24, Chimelong Group, in partnership with Zhiyuan Innovation (Shanghai) Technology Co., Ltd., opened the world's first embodied intelligence theme park in Hengqin, Guangdong. Built on the former Chimelong Spaceship Park, the venue features nearly 1,000 embodied intelligent robots deployed across six scenarios: performances, AI education, smart navigation, study tours, intelligent companionship, and hotel reception. The park claims three global firsts: the first routine deployment of embodied intelligence in a cultural tourism scenic area, the first integrated operation and maintenance management platform for such a park, and the first large-scale 5G IA embodied intelligence innovative application in a tourism setting. At the opening, Zhiyuan's 20,000th embodied intelligent robot descended from the sky, and three advanced bionic humanoid robots made their global debut. A new research institute, the Chimelong-Zhiyuan Embodied Intelligence Research Institute for the Cultural Tourism Industry, was also inaugurated. Chimelong Chairman Su Zhigang stated that the park represents a key step toward embracing new productive forces and building a global technology tourism innovation hub.

Zhiyuan and Chimelong Group Launch Joint Research Institute for Embodied AI in Tourism
On September 24, Zhiyuan and Chimelong Group officially inaugurated the 'Embodied Intelligent Cultural Tourism Joint Research Institute' at Chimelong Spaceship Park in Hengqin. The institute will leverage Zhiyuan's robotics R&D capabilities and Chimelong's cultural tourism operational scenarios to conduct joint research on humanoid robot scene adaptation, algorithm iteration, content creation, and commercial validation. Key focuses include rapid customization of robot IP and interaction capabilities across dimensions such as voice, expression, persona, movement, and costume design to align with Chimelong's content system. The partnership aims to integrate robots deeply into park management, performance choreography, visitor services, and on-site operations, evolving robots from standalone devices into components of the park's content and service ecosystem. For performance scenarios, the institute will explore developing robots and control capabilities suited for group performances, stage interaction, and long-term operation. R&D outcomes will be validated directly in Chimelong's real-world settings, forming a closed loop of R&D, validation, iteration, and application. Industry observers view this as an extension from single-project delivery to long-term collaborative innovation, creating a sustainable operational model for embodied intelligence in cultural tourism that could be referenced by other theme parks, exhibition halls, and commercial venues.
