On the afternoon of September 8, Lubo Technology (loobot. com) released its new intelligent hardware product Lubo Children's Education Robot at the Robot Beauty Contest in Shanghai World Expo Exhibition Hall. Lubo's core team came from Nokia Finland Design Center and Shenzhen Research Institute, and designed and developed an intelligent robot integrating culture, technology and emotion.
"The first wave of ten types of children's robots has passed, but unfortunately we haven't seen any explosive products. Is children's robots really a fake demand?" Facing a reporter's question, Yan Qifeng, CEO of Lubo Technology, replied: Since Jibo successfully raised tens of millions of dollars in 2014, household robots have proved to be a real demand. However, it is a pity that the design of children's robots on the market is eager for quick success and instant benefit. Most of the manufacturers are from Pad manufacturers. In order to achieve rapid development, many robots are Pad+wheels or even Pad+bases. The interaction mode is still inseparable from the touch mode of the Pad. At most, some basic voice interaction can not bring an attractive user experience. As a new product, robots should provide users with a new way of interaction and experience. Lubo robot has experienced more than 6 years of deliberation and design innovation from concept to mass production. Different from many child robots on the market, the team has designed and developed a series of patented technologies, giving Lubo robots a new way of gesture, natural language and touch interaction.
The design inspiration of Lubo robot comes from the Chinese traditional toy tumbler, which symbolizes strong and standing, and combines traditional culture with high technology. However, some Moscow reporters said that Lu Lang must be like a Russian doll, with an exotic atmosphere. Although Lu Bo is simple in shape, he has rich expressions, movements and interactions. In addition to telling stories, singing children's songs, teaching English and intelligent dialogue, he can also perceive children's interests through machine learning to match online playmates, and teach children to program Lu Bo to achieve dance and other performances. Closely accompany children to grow up happily. Parents can use Lubo to make video calls to their children and monitor their homes anytime and anywhere.
Lubo Robot has made up for the lack of Arts in robot education in STEAM quality education by cooperating with a top domestic entertainment company to design products and courses. Let robot education not only attract boys to practice logic programming, but also attract girls to participate in screenwriting and props art creation.
Lubo robot has three styles: white classic version, wave dot fashion version and transparent teaching version. At present, it is preparing for product certification and mass production. In terms of channels, Lubo will cooperate deeply with one of the top three e-commerce platforms in China for exclusive promotion of innovation. The product is expected to be officially launched in October.
Where is the air outlet of the child robot? Lubo Robot introduces the concept of culture and entertainment, a new interaction mode and an innovative channel promotion mode. It remains to be seen whether the round body can take off and become a blockbuster.
