The technological elements in the Beijing Winter Olympics are as follows:

1. Robots

A series of different types of robots are used to assist tourists and athletes. Some machines are being used to enforce pandemic-related social distancing requirements. Robots are also used for equipment transportation, surface cleaning, and cooking and serving food, thereby limiting human contact. Smart bins are also in use, as well as machines that can prepare alcoholic beverages and coffee.

2. Smartbeds

In the Winter Olympic Village, athletes sleep on smart beds equipped with sensors. These devices can collect information such as breathing and heart rate. They also have buttons that allow users to choose different sleeping positions, including a "zero gravity" sleeping position. This setup is supposed to reduce stress on muscles and joints and lead to better quality sleep.

3. Digital currency

China’s digital currency will be used in the Olympic Games. This is the first large-scale test of this currency to a foreign country. Visitors will be able to use the digital yuan to pay for food, transportation and other goods and services. Users can obtain the currency by downloading an app, obtaining a physical digital renminbi card, or exchanging the renminbi into digital form through machines in Olympic areas.

4. Hydrogen energy vehicles improve passenger comfort

The transportation of this Beijing Winter Olympics also contains a lot of high technology. For example, during the Winter Olympics, many transportation vehicles used by Chongqing Daily reporters used hydrogen fuel cells. This is also the largest hydrogen fuel cell vehicle demonstration application in the world so far.

5. Virtual volunteers help athletes understand relevant information in a timely manner

In the Winter Olympic Village, the virtual volunteer Aiga also attracted the attention of many people. Like ordinary volunteers, Aiga can provide consulting services to athletes. Whether it is Winter Olympic events, schedule inquiries, or questions and answers on transportation, culture, and tourism, it can quickly answer questions. More importantly, it can also use more than 60 languages, thus truly achieving barrier-free communication.
