[Preface]

Robots that have been exposed by Google in the scientific circle in recent days Atlas The ring explodes. It is a robot that can carry heavy objects, open the door by itself, walk on its own legs, and stand on its own after falling. It is a Terminator robot, but it lacks an AI brain. This has also led to a wide range of discussions on further research and development of robots. As a Chinese enterprise, it is not behind in robot research. Although there is no "killer" released by Google, there are also many intelligent robots. There is an intelligent robot, which is not only very practical, watching your home and protecting your hospital, but also has a very cute appearance design. It can also communicate with people, chat with you and tell stories when bored. The family mini robot pudding Pudding, invested and issued by RooBo, is an interesting, useful and fun family robot.

[Package and appearance]

For many products, we can see their positioning and characteristics from the packaging. The pudding robot is no exception. Its box is designed into a very cute cylindrical shape, and rotating the outer sleeve, we can also find that two "big eyes" can show different eyes. Not only the product, but also the whole package shows that it is a fun product.

I can't wait to see how this product works. At the first sight, I was really spoiled by a pair of big eyes. My son has been calling for it. With such a cute design, many people may think that it is just a toy for children. In fact, pudding robot is not simple. In fact, the big eyes on the pudding robot camera are just dormant stickers, which need to be removed when using.

Two loudspeakers are designed on both sides of the ears of the pudding robot, so the real "mouth" of pudding should be on these two ears.

The real ear of pudding is designed on the top of the head. If you look carefully at the top, you can see two small holes, namely, MIC holes. Two holes are used to send voice commands or chat to pudding.

At the bottom of the pudding robot, there is also a network access license, which is very rare in robots or products of the same type, but there seems to be no function to use at present. It seems that this robot will have many functions to expand in the future, which should be expected by users. After removing this sticker, we can see that there are two USB charging ports at the bottom, which can charge digital products such as mobile phones, and can also be used as power supply for other smart hardware placed around pudding. And the middle Mirco USB The interface is used to connect the power supply. The upper hole is the reset hole of pudding.

A QR code can be seen at the bottom of the pudding, which is mainly used to download the APP corresponding to the mobile phone. When binding pudding, you also need to scan the QR code to bind. The first ring is a black rubber pad. Because the head of the pudding will rotate, the bottom needs to be designed to prevent slipping to make the whole product more stable.

After reading the pudding, we saw many accessories and instructions under the packing box. From left to right, there are USB charging cable, power adapter, two door magnetic sensors, warranty card, instructions, user guide, and sensor double-sided tape. What is worth noting here are the two door magnetic sensors, which are the smallest sensors ever seen.

[Pudding experience]

After looking at it for so long, we will begin to enter the measurement phase. As smart hardware, we cannot leave the mobile phone at present. Of course, as a security smart camera, mobile phones are still necessary. The first time you enter the mobile phone APP, you will enter an initial interface, which mainly includes some basic functions of pudding. The main four functions are family security, chat, text to voice, and voice message board (but the last item does not seem to have this function, of course, face-to-face communication is already possible, and this message board is unnecessary).

For the first time, you need to register a pudding account. This process is very smooth, and there is basically no stagnation. After registration, you can also choose the character, seriousness and funny of pudding. Of course, I think more than half of the users will choose Zombie. Although I also remind you to be serious when there are old people and children at home.

On the home page of pudding, we can see a book like icon, mainly the pudding voice operation instructions. At present, there are eight skills: weather forecast, time broadcast, air quality, listening to radio, timing reminder, constellation fortune, chat and music. In fact, these are voice conversation functions, and pudding will respond accurately. Xiaobian has also experienced intelligent products that also use the iFLYTEK voice function before, but one thing is that pudding is relatively good. It is not necessary to repeat the wake-up words of "pudding, hello" for each question and answer dialogue after a wake-up.

Under the homepage, there is also a voice and mobile phone logo. This is also the two main functions of pudding. Clicking on the voice logo will bring up a dialog box, where you can enter text or the expression of the pudding itself, and it will be sent out through the voice of pudding. If a thief enters the room, this function will send a "you have entered the police monitoring area, and if you move again, you will be shot" warning through the voice of a robot, which may be more frightening than the voice of a human. Also, this function is very interesting to interact with children at home.

Another function is the monitoring function, which can be set to monitor. You can open the sign of the speaker. Of course, you can also release your own voice through pudding. This needs to turn on the microphone. Of course, the text to voice is also implemented in the monitoring interface.

As a monitoring robot, pudding robot certainly needs sensors. Two sensors are provided randomly. They have similar functions to door magnets. They are pasted on doors, windows and other places. Once the door is opened or vibrated, messages will be sent through pudding. Of course, each door magnet can be set with a separate name. The default name is Budong, which can be set according to the purpose, so that the reminder will be more accurate. However, it is also possible to set the time of the housekeeping mode. The housekeeping mode is used during working hours, and there is no reminder after going home from work.

However, it is also suggested that pudding can add sensors that are sensitive to the human body. It can judge whether there are family members at home through infrared ray, etc., and by associating with mobile phone signals. In the more advanced future, face recognition can be added, rather than simply determining whether to monitor by setting a time period.

At present, the voice function of the pudding robot is not perfect. For example, the automatic video recording function is still lacking. When it was first used, the network signal was poor, but the signal of other devices was normal. In addition, in the conversation, the response will be very slow occasionally. Of course, this may also be caused by network delay.

However, judging from the network access license of pudding, there is still much room for development in the future, and I believe that with the development of voice technology, the function of pudding will become more powerful.

[Suggestion]

Since the pudding robot has been designed as an intelligent robot for security, if two wheels are designed, it can automatically walk around the room and patrol, and automatically charge when the battery is low. In fact, this technology has been widely used on sweeping robots. In addition, the pudding robot can be made into a pet robot or a direct pet robot dog, which may have a higher market acceptance.

Summary

From the perspective of intelligent cameras alone, the pudding robot has actually met the security function, but after integrating the voice function, the original "quiet" camera has come to life, and its use has also been greatly enhanced. It can be predicted that the pudding robot will also have greater improvement with the progress of technology. Therefore, if you have old people and children in your family and you can't always accompany them, you can choose a pudding robot to "guard the house" for you, or to shorten the distance between you and your family. Of course, I hope that pudding can "evolve as soon as possible" and have more functional development.
