CyberRobooo · x · 2026-07-23
A 24-hour unmanned smart pharmacy in Shanghai is being operated with a wheeled humanoid robot from Galbot, in a deployment jointly created by Galbot and Meituan.
- The robot autonomously navigates to shelves, picks up medicine, and brings it to the packing station.
- Store staff still handle packing and customer service, while the robot takes over repetitive fetching work.
- The deployment is presented as a real retail workflow, not just a demo.
The post also quotes a separate report describing humanoid robots entering community pharmacies and integrating with local ordering platforms.
