  "account": "MACAU, Oct. 10, 2026 - Amap, Alibaba Group's location-based services platform, delivered its first batch of Tutu robot dogs to Sands China in Macau during a ceremony at The Venetian's NBA House. The robots will serve as Sands China's Robotic Guide No. 001, guiding visitors across the resorts. Tutu demonstrated autonomous navigation, moving without a remote control or leash, and provided visitor guidance at NBA House. The robots utilize Amap's spatial intelligence technology to create 3D models of resort areas, allowing virtual previews in the Amap app. Sands China welcomed Tutu, highlighting the partnership's potential to enhance the tourism and hospitality experience through technology. The first activation at NBA House showcased Tutu's ability to handle various tasks, including recommending food, answering questions, and guiding visitors. Amap and Sands China plan to refine the service, combining Sands China's operational expertise with Amap's technological capabilities to provide reliable assistance during peak periods in the resorts.",
