Another Day of Smart Life with James Alexander

As the 2022 edition of the Smart China Expo due to be held in Chonqing approaches, where nations and companies from across the world are set to display their latest innovations and hi-tech products, the occasion gave the perfect chance to experience how smart features are gradually merging into everyday life. In the Collaborative Innovation Zone, tucked away in the idyllic ecological surroundings of Yubei District, the Future Hotel features a team of interactive robots who welcome guests, provide them with information on verbal request, and can even usher them to various parts of the complex.

State of the art self-service desks allow guests to check in using facial recognition and a swipe of their identification card. After barely a few moments, their details are logged onto the smart system, and they can access the lifts, room, and facilities like the gymnasium simply by looking into the camera. Once settled in, a variety of in-room features can be activitied through an Alexa’like voice controlled device, which on verbal command, will open or draw the curtains, set the air-conditioning, put calls through to reception, and even answer whatever questions may peak one’s sense of curiosity.

The green mountain ridge adorning the scenic backdrop looks over Mingyue Lake, which are now home to 49 prestigious research institutes such as the National University of Singapore and Harbin Institute of Technology, meaning Chongqing has yet another top location where scientists have both the resources and environment to achieve success and enjoy a serene lifestyle free of distractions.

After settling into a cosy suite at the Future Hotel with a stunning balcony view over beautiful landscapes, water features and green mountains, iChongqing reporter James orders a refreshing drink to quench the heat of summer, which is delivered automatically by a robot straight to the door. Later, on a relaxing stroll to admire the pristine environment of Mingyue Lake, James discovers an autonomous boat moored at the jetty, and goes on to experience how Chongqing is not only pioneering in the field of autonomous driving, as exemplified by the recent approval of unmanned self-driving taxis in Yongchuan District, but also leading the way in setting up a demonstration base for autonomously operated leisure boats on this placid blue lake.

As dusk begins to fall on this day of smart life, James retires back to the hotel, and entrusts the delivery robot with one final errand, that is to bring a steaming hot bowl of Chongqing small noodles to enjoy a delectably wonderful sunset in Mountain City.

In this warm-up to the latest amazing technology set to be displayed at this year’s Smart China Expo, follow James and Kenny on this fun day of hi-tech experiences in one of the top homes for scientists nationwide, and see how smart innovations are set to become a part of everyday life in the very near future!
