An AgiBot Lingxi A2 humanoid robot serves beverages at the ''Mobile Star Chef'' unmanned restaurant within the China Mobile pavilion during the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, on March 5, 2026. The A2 model, standing 169cm tall and weighing 69kg, is powered by the NVIDIA Jetson Thor computing platform and utilizes China Mobile's proprietary Vision-Language-Action (VLA) AI model to autonomously process orders and navigate the service area. The robot's hardware includes over 40 degrees of freedom (DoF) with high-precision tactile sensors in its dexterous hands, allowing it to handle delicate coffee cups and utensils with a human-like grip. Connectivity is managed via a 5G-Advanced (5G-A) private network, utilizing the ZTE EasyOn RobotNet solution to ensure ultra-low latency for real-time edge-to-cloud synchronization. The A2 features a 3D LiDAR for spatial awareness and a 700Wh hot-swappable battery system, demonstrating the practical application of embodied AI in the hospitality sector.

Nepali consumers wait in queue for their turn to take the half-filled gas cylinder at the Nepal Oil Corporation depot in Kathmandu, Nepal, on March 13, 2026, due to a shortage of cooking gas caused by the ongoing war between Israel and Iran. The state monopoly, Nepal Oil Corporation (NOC), starts rationing Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) or cooking gas to manage the demand surge as the war in East Asia enters its second week, halting the supply. Following orders from NOC, bottling plants start selling half-filled cylinders to customers, forcing people to stand in long lines for hours. According to the new provision, applicable to both household and hotel and restaurant users, a 7.1-kilogram cylinder, half the usual size, is distributed. The state monopoly claims that the move aims to conserve energy even though imports are not affected. A 7.1-kg cylinder of cooking gas costs NRs 955. The decision by the Nepal Oil Corporation comes after an interval of 5 years. NOC adopted similar measures during previous crises in 2015 and 2020 when the country suffered acute shortages of cooking gas. The fuel monopoly says supplies from India remain normal, but panic buying is increasing in the Kathmandu Valley. Queues at cooking gas depots grow after local groceries are unable to supply the fuel across the valley, following rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, a key fuel-supplying region for global markets.
