UBTECH and China Telecom Unveil First Family AI Robot
In a significant leap for smart home technology, UBTECH has partnered with China Telecom Shaanxi Company and Digital Life Company to introduce the world's first Family Desktop AI Robot. This innovative device promises to revolutionize household interactions through advanced artificial intelligence capabilities.
The collaboration, which began in July 2024, brought together a dedicated R&D team focused on creating a robot that evolves alongside families. Powered by China Telecom's Starlight Large Model, the robot boasts cutting-edge features including emotional intelligence, environmental awareness, and sophisticated memory functions. These capabilities enable it to adapt to various domestic scenarios with remarkable precision.
What sets this robot apart is its versatile functionality. Beyond basic companionship, it engages users through dance performances, interactive storytelling sessions, and even English language practice. The device serves as a multifunctional hub - facilitating video calls between family members, reading picture books to children, and controlling connected smart home devices.
UBTECH engineers leveraged China Telecom's cloud-network infrastructure to enhance the robot's cognitive abilities. Through deep learning algorithms, the device offers personalized recommendations and demonstrates multi-modal emotional understanding. Its integration with other smart devices creates a seamless intelligent living ecosystem within the home.
Built on UBTECH's Wukong platform, the upgraded model supports multiple interaction methods including voice commands, motion detection, and visual recognition. The robot's head-mounted camera enables facial and object identification, while its 14 servo actuators allow for surprisingly fluid movements - from martial arts demonstrations to expressive dances. An LCD display in its eyes projects real-time emotional responses.
China Telecom Shaanxi has announced ambitious sales targets, aiming to distribute over 100,000 units across the province. This strategic move not only introduces new possibilities for household automation but also signals growing consumer demand for emotionally intelligent home assistants.
