SHENZHEN — The Air Design House Global Robotics Development and Selection Center, located in Shenzhen’s Bao’an district, has been established to address one of the most persistent challenges facing the robotics industry: turning promising prototypes into scalable, market-ready products.

Opened in April this year, the center is a joint venture of the Bao’an district government and the Shenzhen Robotics Association.
