The Singapore Tourism Board (STB) has launched an innovative robodog pilot programme running from 18 April to 17 May 2026 at Sentosa Sensoryscape as well as Exploria and Curiosity Cove at the Mandai Wildlife Reserve, partnering with China-based travel platform Mafengwo to introduce AI-powered, multilingual visitor guides that transform how visitors explore Singapore's attractions.

Singapore, 17 April 2026 – The Singapore Tourism Board (STB) has partnered with China-based travel platform Mafengwo to launch AI-powered, multilingual visitor guides at Sentosa Sensoryscape as well as Exploria and Curiosity Cove at the Mandai Wildlife Reserve. This innovative pilot programme, which will run from 18 April to 17 May 2026, is set to transform how visitors explore Singapore's attractions.

The robodogs leverage artificial intelligence and Mafengwo's travel content ecosystem to deliver, curated storytelling, and real-time visitor assistance in English and Mandarin during this one-month pilot. This innovative and dynamic approach caters to Singapore's diverse international audience while providing an engaging and intuitive visitor experience. The pilot is aligned with STB’s strategy to leverage technology to enhance the visitor experience and drive industry innovation.

Enhanced Experiences at Sentosa and Mandai Wildlife Reserve

On Sentosa, guests will be able to be accompanied by the robodogs and discover interesting stories about Sentosa Sensoryscape, a green connector linking Resorts World Sentosa to the island’s golden beaches. During the guided tour, the robodogs will converse with guests in English and Mandarin to learn more about them and recommend nearby Sentosa attractions and places of interest, based on their travel preferences. Guests can also enjoy a special dance performance by the five robodogs, three times a day. The robodogs will don stylish outfits that complement the dance performance, adding to the vibrancy of the experience.

Guests will be able to book a slot for this exclusive experience via the Sentosa website, Sentosa Ticketing Counters, or via the Sentosa WeChat Mini Programme. Apart from the interactive guided tours, guests can also enjoy special meet-and-greet sessions throughout the day, to interact and snap a photo with the robodogs. The robodogs will also engage guests who are waiting for attractions across the island, including Wings of Time Fireworks Symphony and Skyline Luge Singapore, to share more about Sentosa and recommend offerings. These experiences are examples of new concepts and events that take place on Sentosa each year, allowing guests to make continued discoveries on the island, on every visit.

At the Mandai Wildlife Reserve, the robodogs will be deployed across its two new indoor attractions – Exploria, a 10,000sqm nature-themed immersive multimedia experience, and Curiosity Cove, a 4,600sqm nature-inspired playscape for children and families. Across both attractions, guests can catch the robodogs in action as they perform a range of playful moves, from friendly waves to energetic stunts like somersaults. The robodogs will make surprise appearances within Exploria’s Our Interconnected World, the central hub of the attraction, creating memorable photo moments for guests. At Curiosity Cove, they will take on a more interactive role, greeting guests together with the Ranger Buddies crew.

“The pilots in Sentosa and the Mandai Wildlife Reserve mark an exciting step towards reimagining visitor experiences through technology and innovation,” said Oliver Chong, Assistant Chief Executive International Group, Singapore Tourism Board. “Through our collaboration with Mafengwo, we look forward to continue delivering more personalised, engaging and differentiated experiences that set Singapore apart.”

Both pilot partners expressed enthusiasm for the pilot’s potential to transform the visitor experience.

Mr Michael Ma, Assistant Chief Executive (Business & Digital Technology Group), Sentosa Development Corporation, said, “At Sentosa, we are constantly exploring innovative ways to elevate the guest journey as part of our Smart Sentosa strategy. Sentosa Sensoryscape is a multi-sensorial green connector designed to engage our natural senses. Introducing these Sentosa Robodogs as a multilingual guide adds a new dimension of interactivity and wonder. Beyond leveraging Sentosa as a testbed for novel ideas, we will continue to push the boundaries of immersive experiences, continually innovating to create memorable moments for our guests.”

Ms Jean Choi, Chief Sales Officer, Mandai Wildlife Group, said, “Exploria and Curiosity Cove were designed to immerse and delight our guests in ways that feel personal and memorable. The robodogs are a perfect example of technology used to enhance that – bringing a fun and functional dimension to the experience, whether by guiding guests through our indoor attractions, adding a touch of surprise and delight, or offering a more personalised experience for each guest. We are excited to be piloting this at the Mandai Wildlife Reserve and look forward to seeing how this new layer of interaction enriches the visitor experience.”

This pilot is made possible through STB’s longstanding partnership with Mafengwo, a leading tech partner specialising in providing smart tourism solutions in China. Mafengwo’s expertise has been instrumental in developing the integration and functionality of the robodogs for this trial.

Mr Chen Gang, Chief Executive Officer, Mafengwo, said, “We are excited to partner with STB, Sentosa and Mandai Wildlife Group to bring this innovation to life. By combining our AI capabilities with rich travel content, we aim to create more intuitive, personalised and inspiring ways for travellers to discover destinations.”

This pilot will provide valuable insights into visitor preferences and technology performance, for future deployments that could extend beyond tourism to educational and learning applications.

The Tiong tourists at Sentosa are going to love it.

Looks like Sentosa and Punggol are the trial grounds for China's half-fuck technological wet dreams.
