"I used to only hear about automatic charging for certain car brands in the news, but now it's available for all models! No more struggling to plug and unplug the charger—it's so convenient!" exclaimed Ms. Wang, a visitor at the underground parking lot of Chengdu ICD, after experiencing the seamless automatic charging service provided by a robot.

Recently, Shoucheng Holdings and its portfolio company Wisson Technology jointly launched China's first "Robot +" Automatic Charging Pop-Up Experience Station at Chengdu ICD, alongside the "Citywide Hands-Free Charging" interactive experience campaign. The initiative attracts car owners, automotive KOLs, and tech enthusiasts to "check in" and experience cutting-edge robotic charging technology. As a fully commercialized, open-access, and cross-model charging station, it aims to let more drivers test and engage with automatic charging solutions, transforming manual charging tasks into effortless, hands-free services. This effort drives technological optimization and large-scale adoption, paving the way for a future lifestyle enhanced by robotic innovation.

"Invisible Energy Replenishment": A Glimpse into Future Living
Car Owners: Robots Have Changed My Habits

Upon entering the station, a sleek black automatic charging robot blends into the dark-toned artistic installation, almost "invisible." Meanwhile, the station's design merges futuristic tech aesthetics with trendy elements—dynamic light effects, interactive activities, and a sci-fi-inspired lounge area—amplifying anticipation for a hands-free lifestyle.

A repeat visitor, who used the service for the second time that week, shared: "Once you try this, manual charging feels outdated. No need to worry about charging—just park and head to the mall or lounge. It’s a game-changer." Many drivers echo this sentiment. After parking, a simple tap on a WeChat mini-program triggers the robot to handle the entire charging process autonomously. The vibrant light effects and futuristic ambiance have also made the station a viral sensation on social media.

A Wisson Technology staff member explained: "The station embodies our 'invisible charging' philosophy—minimizing the robot's presence while highlighting the user experience. We want drivers to focus on the comfort and convenience of hands-free technology, inspiring them to imagine life in a fully autonomous driving era. This emotionally resonant, shareable experience also accelerates technology iteration by gathering user feedback for rapid large-scale deployment."

Notably, the station supports all vehicle models, unlike industry-first closed tests limited to specific brands. "My car is an older, niche model—I didn’t expect it to work, but it did!" exclaimed one excited driver. This inclusivity, powered by Wisson's proprietary technology, marks a critical leap from "scenario validation" to "mass commercialization" for automatic charging.

Bionic Flexible Arm + Embodied AI
A Mature Commercial Solution for the Industry

Scaling automatic charging requires solving a core technical challenge: enabling charging guns to safely and successfully connect with diverse vehicles under varying environmental conditions. This demands robust environmental adaptability, active-passive safety mechanisms, and the capacity to handle dynamic scenarios, user habits, and deployment complexities.

The Chengdu station, for instance, serves a mix of luxury cars, family vehicles, taxis, and ride-hailing fleets in a high-temperature underground garage with dynamic lighting—a stringent test for robot reliability.

Wisson's "FlexCharge" solution rises to the challenge. Unlike rigid industry approaches, it leverages the globally pioneering Pliabot® Flexible Robot Technology, featuring a bionic flexible arm driven by soft materials and fluid dynamics. This arm, combined with embodied AI and multi-sensor fusion (including neuromorphic sensors and tactile AI), mimics human arm dexterity and intelligence. It ensures seamless compatibility with mainstream and niche models while maintaining safety and stability in complex conditions.

Beyond Technical Excellence: Cost Efficiency and Scalability

In addition to overcoming technical hurdles, Wisson's solution addresses cost barriers for mass adoption. The flexible embodied architecture reduces deployment and operational costs through modular design and data-driven optimization. By supporting all vehicle tiers and models, it expands user reach while lowering maintenance complexity—aligning perfectly with the core needs of commercial deployment: safety, seamless experience, and affordability.

The solution also integrates a visually striking design package, blending sci-fi aesthetics with trendy appeal. This creates a "black tech" attraction for malls, innovation parks, and charging stations, driving brand value, foot traffic, and consumption upgrades.

China's First "Robot Service + Smart Parking" Benchmark
"Future Tech" Delivers "Immediate Value"

As the lead organizer, Shoucheng Holdings has long focused on frontier robotics technologies, investing in companies like Wisson, Unitree, Galaxy General, Songyan Dynamics, and Accelerated Evolution. Through its industrial parks, properties, and parking assets, Shoucheng provides real-world "tech validation + pilot deployment" scenarios, accelerating commercialization of innovations.

This collaboration with Wisson exemplifies Shoucheng's integrated "capital + technology +场景赋能" approach, creating China's first "robot service + smart parking" benchmark. By integrating robotics into urban infrastructure, Shoucheng reinforces its position as a smart infrastructure provider, exploring scalable paths for smart city development.

A Shoucheng Chengdu executive noted: "This station, a fusion of robotics and smart parking strategies, enhances brand value, charging services, and user experience. More importantly, it offers a model for how robotics can advance smart cities, service innovation, and future lifestyles."

Looking Ahead
As smart parking systems expand and autonomous mobility scenarios mature, automatic charging will become a vital link in intelligent transportation. With capital, tech ecosystems, and asset management capabilities, Shoucheng and Wisson aim to lead the industrialization of this infrastructure, embedding robotics into diverse real-world applications and driving sustainable urban service innovation.

The ongoing "Citywide Hands-Free Charging" campaign, coinciding with Chengdu's summer tourism peak and events like the World Games and Auto Show, invites visitors nationwide to experience and co-create a future powered by robotic innovation.
