This November 2025, the 15th National Games—the first ever co-hosted by Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao—are raising the bar with next-gen tech integration. From 🤖 robot dogs on patrol to AI-powered power checks, every corner of the Games screams innovation.
Intelligent security and patrols
At the Shenzhen Universiade Sports Center in the Chinese mainland, advanced security is handled by patrol robots and robot dogs. Harnessing 5G, artificial intelligence, IoT, cloud computing, and big data, these units stream real-time visual feedback to police command centers. With obstacle-avoidance radar and an emergency call button on each robot, venues stay safe and fans can alert authorities in a flash 🚨.
Critical infrastructure diagnostics
Keeping the lights on is just as high-tech. Robot dogs from the Shenzhen power supply bureau roam the grounds, performing real-time equipment temperature checks, reading electric meters, and sniffing out abnormal noises. All data feeds into an AI diagnostic system that flags potential issues instantly.
By identifying hazards before they become problems, staff can fix glitches on the fly, ensuring athletes and spectators enjoy uninterrupted action. This fusion of robotics and AI isn’t just cool tech—it’s a glimpse into the future of smart events, where safety and efficiency go hand in hand. 🚀
