Due to the opening of the domestic two child policy, the number of babies in many families has also begun to increase. According to the prediction of the National Health and Family Planning Commission, after the opening of the two child policy, the number of births in China will increase significantly in the short term, about 17 million people will be born by 2020. At present, some manufacturers have targeted the infant market and launched some intelligent products for infants. They mainly focus on children's watches and children's robots. What we want to evaluate today is the latest Lecheng Xiaole robot launched by Lecheng.

appearance

The package of Le Orange Xiaole is very luxurious. The words Le Orange Xiaole and its logo are simply marked on the package, and when opened, it presents a small room. After opening the package, you can see a standing Le Orange Xiaole, a charging base, a power supply, and some children's learning AR cards and drawing paper.

Lecheng Xiaole adopts a streamline and curved design, with a plump and smooth head and a short and delicate lower body, giving a cute feeling. Visually, this design will be more acceptable to infants.

Le Orange Xiaole consists of head, waist and chassis, all of which can rotate 360 °. The head is equipped with a 5.5 inch screen. There is a camera on the top of the screen, two stereos on the left and right sides, and two volume adjustment keys on the back. There is a message button on the waist and chest, surrounded by a circle of indicator lights, a power on button on the back, and a temperature and humidity sensor on the top.

In terms of accessories, it is equipped with a charging base and a power adapter. The charging specification of the power adapter is 14.5V/2A, and the charging speed is fast.

APP

The operation mode of Le Orange Xiaole is divided into App end and host end. The App end is mainly for children's parents, while the host end is a platform for children to learn and play. On the App, parents can watch their children through the camera anytime, anywhere, and can also make video calls and messages with their children. They can also push early education content to their children remotely through the app.

Parents can also view the photos and videos taken by the parenting robot in the cloud album, or upload the children's videos taken by mobile phones to the cloud, saving all the children's good memories to Le Orange's cloud server and never losing them. In the fun videos, we can take precious records of children, and also add interesting background music and interesting expressions to the videos. After more than one day of use, there will be a "wonderful day" video, which will condense the video recorded every day into one minute, so that you can easily browse the growth of children every day.

Behavioral interaction

Behavior interaction can be said to be the key to the success or failure of an AI robot. Although Lecheng Xiaole is a child rearing robot, we are excited to find that it also has an excellent behavior interaction mode.

Face recognition and tracking of Le Chen Xiao Le

Most childcare robots only stay at the level of "toys", while Lecheng Xiaole has risen to the level of artificial intelligence. With the camera and microphone of Le Orange childcare robot, Le Orange childcare robot can carry out face recognition and sound source localization for children. When children come from afar, Le Orange childcare robot's camera will carry out face recognition, and when the author comes to it, it will also turn in front of the author. It is said that Xiaole can also identify people's age and give priority to playing with babies. In the test, the author repeatedly moved at three positions every 2 seconds, and the reaction time of Le Chen Xiao Le was 0.5~1.5 seconds, which showed good performance.

Input the faces and identities of family members in the settings. It can also distinguish family members. Xiaole will actively give different feedback when seeing father, mother and baby every day. For example, after the author entered his father, Xiaole would take the initiative to say, "Dad, we need to refuel today!" when he went to work in the morning

In addition, Lecheng Xiaole's head device has multiple sensors, which can recognize the touch of the human body. Xiaole will produce feedback effects on the touch, head touching and other actions, and convey the emotional fluctuations in the heart through the display of facial expressions on the screen and voice forms such as "Am I cute?".

Voice interaction

Lecheng parenting robot is the voice of children aged 7 to 8 years old, and its voice line is closer to the children's peers, which can make them feel intimate. It can carry out speech recognition, semantic analysis, and relevance learning on children's voices. For example, when you ask them how the weather is today, if the weather is bad, it will not only tell you the weather conditions in your area, but also remind children not to go out alone in dangerous weather and need the company of their parents.

If children do not communicate with Le Orange parenting robot for a long time, Le Orange parenting robot will occasionally say some early education knowledge and actively communicate with people. Moreover, thanks to its powerful semantic analysis and relevancy learning functions, when children praise, praise, encourage, and so on, Lecheng parenting robot will change the tone of speech to a "happy" state, which will further encourage children to communicate with friends, which will greatly help children's communication ability.

Le Orange Xiaole quickly turned her head to the author after the author shouted "Hello, Xiaole" through sound source positioning

In the test, we compared the voice interaction between Lecheng Xiaole and a brand of parenting robot:

Question 1: What's the weather like today?

Xiaole Club will search through the network, summarize and report the local weather conditions in combination with the GPS status, and inform whether it is suitable to go out. (Time: 2.3 seconds)

A brand robot searches through the network and reports the local weather conditions in combination with GPS status (time: 8.6 seconds)

Question 2: Tell a story?

Xiaole Club will automatically filter the stories previously told, retrieve local children's stories, and play Farmers and Snakes and Proud Mosquitoes. (Time: 1.3 seconds)

A brand robot gives Baidu a result of "telling a story" through online search (time: 5.6 seconds)

In the test, Xiaole's response speed is fast, the speech recognition rate is high, and it will automatically filter out useless information, search and classify within the effective information, and then reply. With the sound source positioning system, Xiaole's face is always facing the author.

Video interaction

Parents can monitor the children's situation in real time through the mobile phone app

Of course, in addition to education, Lecheng Xiaole also has a powerful communication function. Children can make video calls with their parents' mobile phones through communication. In the test, we compared the quality of Le Orange Xiaole's video call with that of iPhone 6 Plus's WeChat video call. Thanks to Le Orange Xiaole's Sony's low illumination sensor, its video call quality is completely equal to that of iPhone 6 Plus. Similarly, using the mobile phone's 4G network, Le Orange Xiaole's video call has low delay and smooth images, However, when using iPhone 6 Plus to make WeChat calls, there are occasional stuttering and picture separation. The high-definition camera brings a better video experience, and the video recording effect can even be comparable to high-end smart phones, which is quite rare in the parenting robot market.

In addition, Le Orange Xiaole can also be used as a monitoring camera to monitor the situation of families and children in real time. Because the monitoring adopts the intermittent image transmission mode, even if we view the 10 minute surveillance video, it only consumes less than 10MB of traffic. Even without Wi Fi, parents can use this function with confidence.

Child care content

Lecheng Xiaole has rich functions built in, which can help parents greatly reduce the burden of childcare. In the audio-visual early education, there are children's songs, fables, English teaching and so on, which not only have the role of learning enlightenment for children, but also can help children sleep at ease. The application of early education, including iQIYI Animation and Egg Garden, can help parents cultivate and exercise their children's learning ability. The supplied early education coloring book set can enable children to turn their own paintings into 3D animation on the screen. It has sound and color, and is very attractive to children.

summary

It's not difficult to be a parenting robot, but excellent and intelligent parenting robots need to make breakthroughs in behavioral interaction and voice interaction, which must rely on strong hardware technology, analysis algorithms and cloud platform capabilities. In actual experience, Le Orange Xiaole has a high level of human-computer interaction, accurate sound source localization, face recognition, automatic information filtering The logic of language is strong and the response is fast, which is impossible for the same kind of child rearing robots.

Le Orange Xiaole is a very special product, Compared with similar childcare products, it is more AI oriented. Among AI products, it has childcare functions that they do not have. Based on AI, it is an excellent childcare robot. This is what I see as Le Chen Xiao Le.
