Amap Delivers First Tutu Robot Dogs to Sands China in Macau
Macau – October 10, 2026 -- Amap, Alibaba Group's location-based services platform, delivered the first batch of Tutu robot dogs to Sands China, which will deploy them as guides at Sands Resorts Macau after a trial at NBA House at The Venetian.
Tutu logs 40 kilometers and 4,546 answers in one 11-hour shift
During the 11-hour workday at NBA House, Tutu robots completed 214 requests for directions to facilities such as restrooms and service counters. They answered 4,546 questions in Chinese and English, retaining task context when visitors switched languages or asked follow-up questions. The robots traveled more than 40 kilometers, which Amap equates to 456 laps around a basketball court.
At the delivery ceremony, Tutu walked autonomously to the stage, navigating around obstacles without a remote control or leash.
