(Sound_bite) Zhang Yongpan, General manager, Shanghai Robosys Electronic Technology Co., Ltd.: "The robot mainly focuses on the elderly, providing care for their daily lives and managing their health, including the screening for Alzheimer's disease. It can even help the elderly do some simple things at home."

(Sound_bite) Resident: "I think the experience is very good. First of all, there are two large screens, where you can clearly see the road conditions, and the related driving conditions. The bus runs at a rather stable speed, and the general feeling of taking the bus is quite good."
