The device received praise from a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson.
According to a report posted on the official WeChat account of Hangzhou, an orange lifebuoy took off from the shore during the drill, flew toward a person who had fallen into the water, and landed on the water surface. Even when the person climbed onto it, the device remained stable and continued to float.
Minutes later, rescuers arrived and brought the person to safety. The lifebuoy then took off again and returned to its original location.
The device, officially called an AI intelligent flying rescue robot, is designed to provide rapid assistance in open waters where rescue boats may take time to arrive. Equipped with an autonomous navigation system, it can fly to people in distress, provide buoyancy support, and return automatically after completing its mission.
The drill featured multiple water rescue scenarios and tested several intelligent rescue technologies. Drones were used to drop inflatable lifebuoys above people in distress, which quickly inflate upon hitting the water to provide temporary buoyancy.
Another system combined an unmanned boat and drone for rescue operations in dangerous waters. The drone searches and locates people in need, while the boat navigates autonomously to assist the rescue. The drone can also provide lighting for nighttime searches, according to the report.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian highlighted in a social media post on August 14 that the AI-powered device is "technology that could help save lives."

。1月10日，一家名为Cybic的外国自行车公司在CES 2019上展示了一款带有智能语音助手的自行车Cybic e-Legend。据亚马逊称，Cybic是第一家支持Alexa自行车的公司，而e-Legend则是一辆载着Alexa上路的自行车。据报道，Cybic e-Legend自行车和Alexa的助手可以实现智能家居控制，比如在家里的灯即将亮起，简单导航，比如提供方向指示，向家人发送信息，或者通过Alexa呼叫外卖。在Cybic e-Legend的车把中间，有一个小的彩色显示屏，内置一个小扬声器和一个远场麦克风阵列。根据外国媒体在展馆的实际经验，自行车话筒仍然比较灵敏，可以很容易地在拥挤的参加者中获得语音指令。但是，针对公路上的高速自行车，会有风、车的声音等，需要在车上列出才能进一步体验。Cybic自行车可以通过Vodafone SIM卡上网（每辆自行车将附带一份三年数据计划），但自行车公司没有在展会现场提供这种体验。Cybics还提供电子版的E-Legend、250W电机和450Wh电池。Cybic e-Legend自行车将于今年夏天通过Halfords在英国销售。价格尚未正式公布，但应该很高。
