Chengdu, in Sichuan Province in the southwest of the Chinese mainland, is gearing up for the 12th World Games, set to open on August 7. This global sporting event promises more than medals—it's a showcase of next-level tech innovations that are redefining the fan and athlete experience.
At the heart of the World Games Village, a fleet of high-tech devices is on duty. Humanoid AI robots greet visitors with personalized welcomes, while coffee-making bots keep the energy high. Underwater cleaning robots ensure aquatic venues shine, and integrated delivery machines zip through corridors to serve snacks and gear in minutes.
Security and communication get a tech upgrade too. Patrol robot dogs with real-time mapping patrol the grounds alongside human teams, and AI translation glasses break language barriers with instant subtitles in multiple tongues—a lifesaver for international attendees navigating the Village.
Sustainability is baked into every corner. Smart toilets optimize water use with sensor-driven controls, and intelligent recycling bins guide guests to sort waste properly. Together, these innovations offer a glimpse into the future of sports, culture, tourism, and commerce, where technology and human creativity team up for an immersive, eco-friendly experience.
