A Chinese logistics firm majority-owned by Alibaba has opened a warehouse with over 700 robots working in it to deal with the demand from Singles Day, the huge annual shopping festival run by the e-commerce giant.

The company, Cainiao, on Tuesday unveiled what it would be doing to support the shopping festival, which takes place on Nov. 11 and last year raked in over $25 billion in sales.
