A cold-chain inspection robot dog checks a box of chilled and frozen seafood at the international freight terminal of Shenzhen Bao’an International Airport.

The terminal has officially put into operation two new smart inspection robots: a fruit inspection robot and a cold-chain inspection quadruped robot dog. Working alongside existing equipment already deployed at the terminal — including AGV smart handling robots, intelligent patrol robots, and automated palletizing robotic arms — the two new devices help Shenzhen airport’s customs and inspection services move further toward a new regulatory model characterized by human-machine collaboration and remote intelligent oversight.
