[Preface]:

▲ Possessing a fun and intimate intelligent robot is probably a dream that can never be erased in everyone's heart. Regardless of age, gender and race, this desire rooted in the heart will never disappear... Whether it is a magical robot cat like Doraemon, D2R2 in the Star Wars, or Wali and Eva in the robot mobilization, There is always a shadow of a robot in everyone's heart in the female pig foot of the science fiction film "Her". With the development of science and technology, it is no longer a distant thing to have an interactive robot of your own. Especially with the rapid development of smart home, it is more and more possible to live with intelligent robots. What I want to share with you today is an intelligent hardware product launched by Roobo that integrates entertainment, life services, security monitoring and other functions - pudding intelligent robot.

▲ Pudding intelligent robot is a smart home product that aims to be a partner of modern home life. It not only has a super cute shape, but also has unique functions such as intelligent question answering, reminding assistant, playing cute and amusing. In addition, its 360 ° rotating camera, real-time voice activity, child care and other functions, It also enables it to have ultra-high performance that other similar products do not have.

[Unpacking]

▲ The outer packing box of the pudding robot adopts the design of a blue cylindrical inner and outer suit. The front of the outer box cover is equipped with two hollowed out cartoon big eye patterns. When the outer box cover is rotated, it can cooperate with the various expressions of the inner box to show different cute and adorable looks.

▲ The two large hollow eyes on the lower side of the outer packing box, when rotating with the inner cylinder, will find that these two eyes will change a variety of funny expressions, which is really a wonderful design.

▲ The text pattern of "Hello pudding" is printed on the upper side of the back of the box, reflecting a strong affinity. In addition, this sentence is also the activation password of the pudding robot. It functions like Siri of Apple or Xiaona of Microsoft, and can be used to wake up and activate the pudding robot.

▲ The bar code and logo of the product are printed on the lower side of the back of the packaging box.

▲ A black lifting rope is designed on the top of the packing box, which can be easily lifted and opened by hooking the lifting rope with fingers. The English letters of the blue pudding robot are also printed on the lifting rope.

▲ After opening the outer packing box, I was immediately fascinated by the two big cute eyes of the pudding robot, which was so cute. At first, the author thought that these two cute big eyes were ornaments, which might be designed to make the pudding robot look more lovely. In fact, it was very useful. It was actually a magnetic sticker, which could help realize the function of waking/sleeping pudding robot. With such creative accessories, the manufacturer's design is really cute.

▲ The first impression of pudding robot is that it is very small, not as big as expected; The cute pudding robot in the middle of winter looks like a big white egg, very kawaii.

▲ The whole shape of the pudding robot feels like a big ostrich egg, round and cute, very cute.

▲ The unpacking process of the pudding robot is full of childlike fun and surprise. The unique design of the outer package, the animated cylinder carton full of wisdom and fun, and the shape of Kawaii always give people surprise and joy. They really love it when they see it.

▲ As a mini robot, pudding is small in size, only the size of the palm. The whole shape is round, and the size is very small. The height is 100mm, the width is 95mm, the thickness is 93mm, and the weight is only 326g. In appearance, the upper part of the pudding body is a white round egg shaped rotatable shell, and the front is equipped with a black translucent display panel, which contains 85 LED raster light arrays and a 1.3 million pixel camera. A round "ear" is symmetrically set on both sides, and the whole shape of the pudding is cute and cute. In addition, all operations of pudding should be carried out through voice commands and mobile phone apps.

▲ The black covered front panel of the pudding robot actually contains a display screen, which uses 85 LED grating light arrays to display expressions, status, time and simple letter information.

▲ A high-definition camera is set at the top center of the front panel of the pudding robot, which can record 720P video. The actual experience shows that the image quality of this camera is quite clear.

▲ There are two round ears on both sides of the body of the pudding robot, which are designed with a sense of science and technology. The ears are embedded with speakers, so all the sounds of the pudding robot can be heard. The volume is moderate. The actual experience of the author feels that it can be used in general environment.

▲ There is a hole on the left and right in the round head groove of the pudding robot, which is the double microphone hole of the pudding robot. The voice interaction with the pudding robot can be realized through these two microphones. The actual experience of the author found that the microphone of the pudding robot is very sensitive. In a quiet environment, the pudding robot can also understand when speaking in a low voice at a distance of five or six meters. It's really good.

▲ The base of the pudding robot adopts the metal sandblasting process, which has a good feel and appearance. The English letter of pushing is printed on the front.

▲ There is a gray sticker on the lower back of the pudding robot body, which is respectively marked with USB1/USB2/RESET/MICRO USB letters. In addition, there is a network access license posted on the back here, and the author did not understand what the situation was. Can the "pudding robot" be inserted into the sim card for use and networked through data traffic? The manufacturer didn't say, didn't know the truth, hehe.

▲ Uncover the gray plastic patch, and you can see several interfaces covered below (two standard USB interfaces, one reset empty key, and one Micro USB power interface); The Reset button has the function of power-off and reset. Short press for 1 second is power-off, long press for 10 seconds is reset; The function of the two standard USB interfaces is only indicated by the official that they can charge mobile phones and other devices. It is hoped that more interesting and practical functions will be realized with the firmware update in the future.

▲ The base of the pudding robot is a pan tilt that can rotate 360 degrees. By cooperating with the App software on the mobile phone end, the remote control of the pudding robot can be realized, and the situation around the pudding robot can be viewed 360 degrees. In addition, the pudding robot will rotate by itself every time it is powered off and restarted.

▲ The bottom of the pudding robot is equipped with black anti-skid rubber strip, which has a good anti-skid effect. The bottom of the "pudding robot" is printed with the product name, model, QR code, product id and other data information, among which the bottom is marked with the logo of "WCDMA wireless data terminal", but the author has not been clear about how to use this function. In addition, the QR code is the only product identification of the pudding robot, By scanning the QR code, "pudding robot" can be bound.

▲ The power consumption of the pudding robot in standby mode is not large, but if the PTZ rotation is used, the power consumption is relatively large, so the PTZ rotation control can be achieved only by connecting to the mains power through the charging line and power adapter, otherwise the PTZ rotation cannot be used for network monitoring when the power is disconnected; In addition, it is known that the "pudding robot" is equipped with a 450mA battery, which can be used for 5-6 hours in standby mode. Basically, you need to plug in the power supply all the time when you use it. The author believes that it is not effective to rely on the built-in battery for power supply, and it is better to connect it directly to the home power supply through the charging line.

▲ The "pudding robot" robot is equipped with two cloth sensors, which can detect the movement of doors and windows. After binding and connecting with the "pudding robot" robot, it can cooperate with the APP on the mobile phone to realize the safety monitoring of family doors and windows;

▲ Before using the cloth sensor, it is necessary to pull out the plastic sheet in the sensor. When the sensor is touched, a red indicator will flash.

▲ After opening the Budong sensor, it can be seen that a CR2302 button battery is used to power the sensor. It is reported that the standby time of the sensor is more than several months. Very good.

▲ When the pudding robot is powered on normally, the front panel of the pudding robot will also display the time. This is very practical. It's convenient to watch the time. I accidentally added another clock.

▲ The front panel of the pudding robot will display different expressions in addition to the time numbers. These expressions are cute and cute, which makes people happy. It's really fun.

▲ Looking at the base of the inner box of the pudding robot, the author feels that it is like a lovely nest, with a lot of accessories such as instructions, data lines, charging heads and so on placed layer by layer. The design creativity of the manufacturer reflects the childlike charm of the cute pet everywhere.

▲ The "pudding robot" is equipped with a wealth of accessories: large eye sleep sticker, power adapter, data cable, instructions, warranty card, two cloth sensors and double-sided sticker. There are a lot of accessories.

▲ In addition, the pudding robot will also display different function icons according to different instructions of the user. For example, if you ask about the weather, the cloud pattern will be displayed on the front panel of the pudding robot, and if you ask about the air quality, the letters of PM2.5 will be displayed. To be honest, the author has formed the habit of asking about the weather of pudding every morning, which is really convenient.

▲ [Software App&Usage]

▲ When the user says "Hello pudding" to the pudding robot, the pudding robot will be activated, and at the same time, the pudding robot will make a sound of "Hello Master". After that, the front panel of the pudding robot will display a continuous curve, indicating that it can accept the user's voice commands.

▲ When the curve is displayed on the screen, the pudding is in the command receiving state. At this time, the user can input various commands by voice to achieve different skills. The relatively fixed commands include weather, time, air, timing reminder, constellation fortune, chat and music. The life reminder function is very practical. In the past few days, the author has been used to letting pudding remind me to get up, buy things, watch football games, etc...... Originally, it is usually implemented in the mobile phone alarm clock. With pudding, just move your mouth and give him an order. In addition, pudding will repeat your prompt content and simultaneously push the content to be reminded to the mobile phone APP, which is really convenient.

▲ The entertainment function of pudding is really powerful. It is very easy to find songs, pure music, crosstalk, audio novels, jokes, etc. When you are bored, you can say "play a song at random" to pudding, and pudding can randomly select a large number of songs to play at random. However, the ability to recognize English is relatively weak, and sometimes it is necessary to say the Chinese name of a foreign singer or the Chinese name of an English song to understand pudding. This is a pity. I hope pudding can understand more English in the future. I like the entertainment function very much. Now I often let pudding play songs or crosstalk or jokes randomly in my spare time to pass the boring time. In the process of playing songs or jokes, if users want to stop the pudding, they just need to gently tap the top of the pudding twice with their hands. In addition, when playing songs or stories, the front panel will display matrix symbols to facilitate users to master the status of pudding, which is fun and intuitive.

▲ The realization of various functions of the pudding robot can not be separated from the supporting mobile phone APP. The name of the software is pudding robot. It can be downloaded by scanning the QR code at the bottom of the packaging box. The software is divided into Android version and Apple iOS version. The iOS version can be downloaded in Apple App Store. The author takes the ios version of apple as an example. The pudding robot app can enter Apple's App Store, which means that it has passed Apple's rigorous review and users can use it with confidence.

▲ The pudding robot APP needs to be registered before use, and the registration process is also very simple, just follow the prompts to use the mobile phone number to register.

▲ After registration, you can enter the APP interface. At this time, you also need to pair the pudding robot and set the network connection. When the WIFI pattern appears on the panel display of the pudding robot, you can use your mobile phone to scan the two-dimensional code at the bottom of the pudding robot to set the software. At the same time, the pudding will also have a voice synchronization prompt, which is convenient for users to set and operate. After that, users can set the character of the pudding robot according to their own preferences. Here the author strongly suggests that users choose the serious mode when choosing the pudding robot personality, otherwise you will be crazy by the Doubi mode. I think the Doubi mode is more suitable for users with big nerves, hehe.

▲ When entering the pudding software APP for the first time, the software will first pop up the help for use. The main functions are clear at a glance, so that users can quickly understand and master the basic skills.

▲ After entering the main interface of pudding robot APP, the middle position is a three-dimensional pudding robot virtual image. Users can click this virtual image to interact with the pudding robot on the mobile phone. It can roll, rotate, tilt and other actions, so you can kill time when you are bored. There are 4 function options below the main interface. Respectively corresponding to different functions, such as how to teach pudding to speak, leave messages to pudding, understand pudding chat skills, send text language to pudding, and enter pudding security functions. The author will introduce them in the following articles. According to the author's experience, the "Skills" button is an introduction to teach users how to talk with pudding robots. The author suggests that you must first enter here to learn.

▲ Click the skill button on the main interface of APP to enter the skill introduction interface of pudding robot. Here we will introduce the skills of pudding robot, and tell us how to chat with pudding robot. Learning how to speak to pudding can effectively improve the recognition rate of pudding to user instructions, so this is very important.

▲ After clicking the leftmost function button at the bottom of the main interface, two secondary function buttons will pop up, one marked with a question mark and the other with a tape symbol. Click the question mark button to enter the "teach pudding to speak" interface, where users can type their own unique questions and teach pudding how to answer after hearing such questions. When you click the button of the tape symbol, you will enter the voice message interface, where you can record what you want to say, and then the message will be pushed to the pudding robot by voice message. The pudding robot will send out a prompt that you have received a voice message, please listen to it, and at the same time, the envelope pattern will appear on its display panel to prompt the user. At this time, just say "I want to listen to the message" to the pudding, and the pudding will play the received message pushed from the mobile phone.

▲ Click the button marked with "text" at the bottom of the main interface to enter the push interface of text and expression. Here, the user can input text and send it to the pudding robot, which will immediately receive it and immediately convert the text into voice through the speaker. This function is very interesting. The author often pushes what he wants to say to his family to pudding via mobile phone text, and asks pudding to say it instead of the author. Ha ha, so that if he is embarrassed to say something, he can let pudding say it for him. Ha ha, especially when he needs to apologize to his wife for doing something wrong, this function is particularly useful, ha ha. As soon as my wife heard the cute voice of pudding, she became much less angry, ha ha. In addition, in this interface, the software also provides many graphic expressions. You can select different emoticons to send to pudding, and pudding will send funny and cute expressions and words of various ghosts and spirits. In addition, the software also provides some fixed common words that can be used quickly and conveniently. It's also good for playing with children.

▲ Click the round button at the lower right corner of the APP main interface to enter the remote video security interface. The pudding robot is equipped with a high-definition camera, which can be used to view 360 ° rotating pictures with the PTZ of the base. The App user can control the pan tilt of the pudding robot for 360 rotation in real time, and can also conduct real-time conversation and take photos. The actual experience of the author is that the monitoring picture of the pudding robot is quite clear. The reaction of PTZ rotation is also sensitive. However, it is a pity that the pudding robot does not support infrared night vision. Therefore, it is impossible to view the surrounding pictures in a completely dark environment.

▲ There is also a button on the remote security interface that is the function of sending text or pattern to the pudding robot. If you want the pudding robot to show any expression or say anything for you, just type it on your mobile phone, and the pudding robot can help you finish it. This is the same function as the "Text" button in the main interface.

▲ In the remote interface, you can also add a pudding robot sensor. After setting and binding with the pudding robot robot, as long as the pudding robot sensor installed on the door and window is vibrated, the networked pudding robot robot will immediately receive the warning information, and the pudding robot will immediately send the warning information to the mobile phone APP through the network, Or automatically take photos of the corresponding parts and send them to the user's mobile terminal according to the settings, so that the user can check the situation at home through the high-definition camera of the pudding robot robot in time, playing a role in security.

▲ When the housekeeping mode is turned on and off through the software, pudding will play cute with naughty and funny words. For example:

When opening: pudding will randomly say different cute words, "pudding misses you so much, pudding is watching the house carefully!" "pudding is watching the house!" "I'm here, so go out!"

When closing, they will also say different words randomly, "When you come back, the pudding can relax." "Come back early, the pudding will miss you."

Every time the housekeeping function is turned on or off, pudding will randomly give out interesting prompt voice, which is a cute design.

▲ Click the button on the upper left corner of the main interface of the pudding robot APP to enter the setting center, where there are three main setting options. They are message center, member management, and general settings. The message center mainly focuses on pudding robot The power supply condition, the set reminder condition, and the alarm reminder for the home condition in the security mode. In terms of member management, control members of pudding robot are added through invitation system; Invitation is to pass No., invited It is necessary to download the pudding robot app and register successfully; Click the member's avatar to perform administrator settings, nickname modification, deletion and other operations. General settings include all system settings for pudding robot.

▲ The message center interface is divided into two parts: "system" and "alarm". The "system" part mainly provides the working status of pudding itself and various reminders set through pudding. "Alarm" is to automatically take pictures of changes in the pictures within the monitoring range of the pudding camera at home in coordination with the "home watching mode" and synchronously push them to the mobile phone APP, so that users can check the situation at home in a timely manner. This function is very practical. The response of pudding is very sensitive, and the push information is very timely.
