When I was young, whether watching cartoons or dreaming, I always hoped that there would be a toy that could let me play as I wanted. However, until today, this kind of toy has not appeared, and the myth of robot cat is far away, but the progress of science and technology is endless. Today, all kinds of intelligent hardware are emerging one after another, making people overwhelmed, Although it is far away from real intelligence, the development of intelligent hardware has also made us more expectant. Today, the product that the author takes you to experience is WowWee Mip robot provided by Hard Egg.

The mip robot is packaged in a box similar to the toy package. The front of the package is the front appearance of the robot, while the head of the robot is displayed as the real object of the robot. The mip mark is on the lower front of the packaging box.

On the back of the box are some introductions in English. For users with poor English, there is no need to worry, because this will not affect your use.

On the side of the product, there are relevant instructions in Chinese for the robot, 2D codes for APP download and product use warnings.

The outer package adopts a flip design. When you open it, you can see that the robot is still in it. It's too exciting. Let me be quiet. Don't ask who I am.

All accessories of mip robot include a robot host, a tray and a base for daily upright fixation.

The mip machine provides a product manual and recommended operating instructions in both Chinese and English for the convenience of domestic and foreign users.

The head of the mip robot is integrated with sensors, which can detect people's actions and trigger corresponding actions according to gestures. At the same time, the eyes are equipped with led display function, making mip more perfect when playing. The position where the arm of mip connects with the machine body has a joint design, which can rotate.

The product logo is printed on the chest of the machine, which is the same as the logo printed on our daily T-shirts.

The hand of mip robot has no joint, which is a stereotyped gesture made by mold.

At the same time, it is a pity that the key between mip's arms is fixed and cannot move.

The back of the mip is mainly designed with battery socket, sound hole and power switch. Let me take you to experience the product details.

The sound hole of mip is set at the lower back of the product. The actual experience of the author shows that the sound effect of the product is average, and you can't hear what you say without listening carefully, and you often can't hear clearly if you listen carefully.

The mip robot cannot stand upright without opening normally, so a plastic bracket is provided for daily mip upright.

The upper part of the sound hole is the switch of the product. This design can effectively reduce the loss of the battery. When not playing, timely closing can effectively save power. At the same time, it can be seen from here that the mip battery compartment is designed to be fixed with screws, which can be normally removed with both straight and cross screws.

The screwdriver can be used for easy disassembly. The screw design of the mip battery compartment is relatively good. The screw is fixed on the housing and will not fall off. This can effectively avoid the screw loss during battery replacement. However, for a product with a large power consumption and a non charging design, the use of screw fixation is somewhat anti human. I don't know why the manufacturer has not designed a charging method or a snap on design. Because it is mainly sold abroad, the author guesses that there may be relevant technical standards abroad, of course, this is unknown.

The design of the mip battery compartment is very fine. at the same time, the power supply part adopts the contact design, which can be easily removed and replaced.

The replacement mode adopted by mip is also fun. It uses the method of turning the wheels of mip to change its working mode.

After turning the wheel on the right side, the led indicator in the middle of the mip indicates that different colors are displayed to indicate that the corresponding mode has been changed.

After normal startup and power on, place the mip properly, and the mip will automatically start to balance. Therefore, if the mip does not fall down without using a fixed base, The mip needs to be in motion to maintain its balance. Of course, in the actual experience process, if the force is slightly greater when it is placed, it will cause the mip to fall down and affect the playability. Therefore, the mip also emphasizes in the instructions that it is not suitable for children under 3 years old to play.

The mip provides a snap position for the tray at the front.

The tray can be conveniently clamped at this position. The author picked up a razor and put it on it, and mip can basically balance back and forth movement immediately.

The most interesting thing about mip is that it supports the operation of gesture. It can control the movement of mip forward, backward, left and right, and stop through gesture opening. The author measured that the sensitivity is still very high. However, because its sensor is in the head position, it is a pity that if the hand position is slightly low, it may affect the manipulation of gesture. Similarly, due to the position of the sensor at the top, mip can only avoid high objects for obstacles, and mip has no ability to avoid objects lower than the mip head.

Mip also provides APP for operation, but for the author, the more expected playing method is to leave the app playing method. After all, with the mobile phone to control, the playability is reduced a lot.

Mip provides a variety of operations, such as normal operation, dancing mode, combat mode, boxing mode, etc. The author has experienced the dancing mode, and found that the mip operation is very stable, and it will automatically avoid obstacles in the process, which is a very interesting experience. But for the boxing mode, the author tried it, and estimated that two operations were needed at the same time. When one operated, mip would only make a sound similar to boxing.

In the piling up mode, you must use the mip tray and stack items on the tray to form a score. This play method is not very attractive to the author. Of course, the author is very interested in dragging a cup of tea to his wife or something.

At the same time, a more interesting design of mip is that you can set the curve at will according to your needs, and then mip will move according to the curve. In the actual experience, it is not suitable to set it too complex. At the same time, in the process of setting, the author's mobile app flashes back.

During the previous mip operations, the author did not feel the impact of app English, because both pictures and English are relatively simple, even if they do not understand English, it is estimated that in general, they can also operate simply, but for users who are accustomed to Chinese apps, it is obvious that Chinese apps may be more popular, However, there is no need to worry. The mip app provides four languages for you to choose from, including Chinese.

Summary

After playing for several days, the author found that mip robot is a good choice for adults to kill time or for children at home to entertain. Basically, it can amuse everyone, but there are many problems with mip, and the APP has flashback phenomenon. At the same time, the author measured several mobile phones, and found that the support for the Yunos system is not very good. At the same time, under the MIUI V6 system, the app occasionally has flashback phenomenon. The design of the sensor is only on the head. It is a great pity that the obstacles below the head of mip have no resistance. It is impossible for mip to play in a complex environment. It is suggested that mip can add omnidirectional sensors in the later stage to really become a fun product, At the same time, we also expect to develop some more intelligent devices through mip extension, not only for toys.
