BEIJING, July 15 (Xinhua) — Robots independently delivered goods on the subway in the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen on Monday, according to a report on the portal of the Shenzhen Municipal People's Government on Tuesday.

According to the report, several robots successfully carried out unmanned off-peak deliveries on the subway on Monday. The delivery was made possible by an artificial intelligence-based dispatching algorithm.

Moreover, the report notes, these robots are designed to deliver goods to 7-Eleven convenience stores at metro stations.

In addition to the aforementioned dispatching algorithm, the robots are also equipped with a number of other technologies and components, including a panoramic lidar and a mechanical chassis. All this allows them to independently plan the optimal delivery route, not get lost on the road, and travel autonomously in a subway car.

In the future, it is expected that such robots will be able to increase the efficiency of using the metro's capacity during off-peak times and improve the efficiency of delivering goods to retail outlets. -0-

The implementation period of the state program "Socio-economic development of the Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol" has been extended until 2030. The order to this effect was signed by the Chairman of the Government Mikhail Mishustin. The previous version of the state program assumed the completion of its activities in 2027.

Continuing the implementation of the state program will make it possible to create new educational and medical institutions, build more than 160 km of gas supply and distribution networks, repair 628 km of water supply and sanitation networks, and bring more than 1.2 thousand km of roads into compliance. It is also planned to implement projects to create six tourist infrastructure facilities and carry out major repairs to five cultural heritage sites.

In addition, it is planned to complete the development of part of the exits from the Tavrida highway, continue the construction of treatment facilities for the medical cluster facilities in Sevastopol, and finance the restoration of coastal protection structures located in Crimea and on the territory of the yacht marina in Sevastopol.

"With the support of the President and the Prime Minister, we are creating the necessary conditions for a comfortable life on the Crimean Peninsula. Over the years of the state program for the development of Crimea and Sevastopol, more than 700 objects and events have been completed, which have eliminated basic infrastructure restrictions on the peninsula, including ensuring the energy security of the region, transport accessibility with the mainland of Russia. It is important that the program works comprehensively: it not only modernizes the infrastructure, but also creates new opportunities for business – for this, a free economic zone is in place. Extending the program until 2030 is an important step to complete the projects that have been started and launch new ones. We are planning large-scale work: from road construction to modernization of social facilities. This will improve the quality of life of people and give an additional boost to the region's economy," said Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.

Primorsky Krai will present current and new investment projects, tourist attractions and transport and logistics opportunities at the Far East Street exhibition, which will be held from September 3 to 9 as part of the tenth anniversary Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok. The concept of the pavilion this year is Primorye – the Bridge of the Future. The exhibition is organized by the Roscongress Foundation with the support of the Office of the Plenipotentiary Representative of the President of the Russian Federation in the Far Eastern Federal District.

"Vladivostok, the capital of the Far Eastern Federal District, will once again welcome participants and guests of the Eastern Economic Forum. The Primorsky Territory exposition is one of the brightest and key ones at the Far East Street exhibition. Primorye is the leader in the district in terms of the number of investment projects being implemented. The key instrument for the strategic development of Primorye is the implementation of master plan activities for six cities. They will allow for a qualitative change in urban infrastructure and improve people's lives. The development of social infrastructure is being carried out through the presidential single subsidy. The regional pavilion will tell about all of this. The region will also present a vision of the future, what this region will do to remain attractive to investors, so that as many Russians and residents of other countries as possible can visit and fall in love with the Far Eastern lands," said Deputy Prime Minister – Presidential Plenipotentiary Representative in the Far Eastern Federal District, Chairman of the Organizing Committee of the Eastern Economic Forum Yuri Trutnev.

The Primorsky Krai exposition positions the region as a link between countries, continents and cultures. It is a territory of opportunities where large-scale projects in the field of tourism, logistics, industry and technology are implemented.

"Primorye is actively preparing for the anniversary, tenth Eastern Economic Forum – the main international event of the Asia-Pacific region. And of course, it is important for us to once again present our region from an interesting side. The EEF is, first of all, attracting investors for the development of Primorye and the entire Russian Far East. This time, we will tell potential partners about the areas in which it is profitable to cooperate with us, where to apply their efforts for the stable development of business in Primorsky Krai – one of the most dynamically developing regions of the Far Eastern Federal District. Our region has enormous potential in industry and logistics, agriculture and science, tourism and culture. We invite Russian and foreign guests to the Primorye pavilion, where our most striking projects will be presented," said Oleg Kozhemyako, Governor of Primorsky Krai.

The general concept of the pavilion "Primorye – a bridge to the future" symbolizes the connection between the past and the future, East and West, openness to partnership, investment and innovation. The pavilion tells how the unique geographical location, natural resources and human potential make Primorsky Krai attractive for business, tourism and life over several historical eras.

The main exhibition embodies an open space of possibilities, where each zone is self-sufficient and autonomous in meaning, but at the same time supports the overall concept of the pavilion and tells about the key industries and projects of Primorsky Krai. The exterior design is inspired by the nature of the region, the wave line and seascapes. Inside, the pavilion is decorated with modern materials and many interactive multimedia tools.

Thematic zones of the region's stand at EEF-2025 demonstrate the evolution of key industries and social transformations of Primorye with an emphasis on the region's main achievements over the past 13 years. In honor of the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War, each site will contain references and evidence of the contribution of Vladivostok and Primorye to achieving the Great Victory.

The pavilion will feature a stand dedicated to sports projects and achievements of Primorsky Krai. Information will be posted about the curling center, the center for artistic and rhythmic gymnastics in Vladivostok, the federal-level ski resort in Arsenyev, and the development of water sports in the region. Special attention will be paid to how measures were taken to physically prepare the population in Primorsky Krai during the Great Patriotic War: sports events and competitions in football, skiing, including military ski training and multi-day ski trips, cross-country running, and obstacle course running were actively held. Primorye preserves and develops these traditions, consistently expanding its sports infrastructure and implementing physical education and sports programs.

A separate part of the exhibition will tell about key investment projects, special programs and government support measures in Primorye. The immersive zone "Transport, logistics, turn to the East" is equipped with panoramic screens and ceiling projectors that create a realistic audiovisual space. In this zone, visitors will be told about the unique geographical location of Primorsky Krai, whose Vladivostok port played a key role in ensuring supplies under the Lend-Lease program from the United States of America in 1941-1945.

In the Culture and Tourism zone, visitors will find a table with physical volumetric models of key cultural, educational and tourist sites in Primorsky Krai. A virtual tour guide will tell visitors about the projects and related programs. The key objects and initiatives on the model are the museum and theater complex on the Eagle's Nest hill, the preservation of the Vladivostok Fortress Museum-Reserve, and the third season of the All-Russian competition for the best trip.

The Industry, Bolshoy Kamen Industrial Park zone will introduce the pavilion's guests to the key enterprises of Primorsky Krai. An interactive hologram will allow you to choose an industrial project, after which robotic manipulators will be set in motion, demonstrating a 3D model of the object with its technical characteristics. The information will be presented in historical perspective – from the period of the Great Patriotic War to modern projects and production.

A "Science" zone will also be created. The space will demonstrate leading scientific areas, institutes and achievements of Primorye, including promising startups and innovative developments that are important for the technological development and security of the country.

The "SVO, GO and Emergencies" space will tell about the contribution of Primorsky Krai to the military-industrial complex of Russia, ensuring information and security of the population, as well as participation in a special military operation. The section will show animated videos telling about Primorye residents – heroes of the Great Patriotic War, as well as about modern soldiers participating in the SVO. The format of the materials – from documentary biographies to artistic sketches reflecting the strength of spirit, courage and dedication of the people.

The Primorsky Krai pavilion will traditionally feature daytime and evening programs. The theme of the events on the first day of the EEF-2025 will be the end of World War II. The patriotic program will feature creative groups, performers, and brass bands from the region.

In addition, the stand is planned to illustrate the theme of beekeeping development in the region. The site will be decorated with an animated interactive composition emphasizing the popularity and healing qualities of Primorsky linden honey.

Various master classes in decorative and applied arts will be organized and offered to guests. The evening program will feature performances by popular regional cover and rock bands, as well as a performance by the instrumental rhythm group of the Variety Orchestra of the Primorsky Regional Philharmonic.

The 10th Eastern Economic Forum will be held on September 3–6 at the campus of the Far Eastern Federal University in Vladivostok. During these days, the exhibition will be available to forum participants, and on September 7, 8, and 9, it will be open to everyone. The EEF is organized by the Roscongress Foundation.
