China expands AI cobots working with people from manufacturing to services

Cobots are designed to work alongside people and are evolving with AI to recognise environments and respond to workflows. Their use is spreading from production lines to customer service, guidance and office support. Industry participants say safety, accuracy, maintenance costs and training still need verification.
