The first robot store in central China's Hunan province opened on Thursday in Changsha, the capital city of the province, rednet.cn reported. Aiming to build an industrial ecosystem of robot services and entertainment, the store offers customers sale service, maintenance, and secondhand trading.

Two female robots at the store's official opening were quite eye-catching. One of them, named Bingbing, is the store manager. The other is a high-tech silicon model that is able to blink and smile.

Last year, the owner of the store, a Shanghai-based robotics company, opened the first restaurant staffed by robots in Hunan. Now, the robots have been upgraded and will begin service in other industries.
