Hot on the heels of its groundbreaking deployment at Shenzhen’s Mt.Lotus Park, PIX Robobus has now teamed up with Hangzhou AEON Mall to launch the cutting-edge autonomous shuttle service that officially hit the roads in December. Offering autonomous transportation for shoppers, the partnership between AEON Mall and PIX Moving aims to expand service coverage and to create a more seamless shopping experience, redefining mobility within the urban commercial zones.

As the headquarter of global tech giant Alibaba, Hangzhou is hailed as the “City of the Internet” and “Capital of Innovation”. This collaboration brings technology to the forefront, showcasing Hangzhou’s drive to become a smarter, greener, and more sustainable city.
Autonomous Innovation Expanding Commercial Reach
PIX Robobus leverages advanced autonomous driving technology to connect Hangzhou AEON Mall with surrounding neighborhoods, covering a service radius of 3–5 kilometers. By addressing the lack of short-distance transportation around the AEON Mall, Robobus offers a hassle-free, point-to-point connection for nearby residents, reducing the stress of traffic congestion and parking shortages in busy commercial districts.

The service redefines the boundaries of traditional shopping outreach. By expanding accessibility, Robobus taps into previously underutilized consumer potential, increasing foot traffic for the mall while keeping operational costs low.
Besides the autonomy rides, people can also get their blood pressure tested during the transport to/from the mall. Combining blood pressure testing with the Robobus trips offers an innovative approach to healthcare accessibility and efficient use of commute time. By merging autonomous transportation with on-the-go medical services , the Robobus offers more tailored care to the local residents, making routine health monitoring more accessible and integrated into daily life.

Closing the Last Mile with Flexible Retail Solutions
Another key element of this partnership is PIX Roboshop, an autonomous mobile retail robo-vehicle that complements the Robobus commuting services. Designed to bring “stores” directly to consumers, Roboshop delivers everything from fresh groceries to daily essentials, right to the customers. Its flexible routes and schedules provide an unparalleled on-demand shopping experience, anytime, anywhere.
This innovative approach breaks away from the limitations of traditional brick and mortar retail shops. By combining “mobile + fixed” store concepts, Roboshop aligns perfectly with the fast-paced lifestyle of today’s consumers, meeting their needs for convenience and immediacy. For malls, this means maximizing coverage and service hours, further enhancing customer engagement and operational efficiency. Roboshop’s data-driven approach allows malls to pinpoint and meet emerging customer needs, unlocking new growth opportunities and fostering a dynamic retail ecosystem.
