[Write in front: understanding of 360]

Speaking of 360, I believe that your first impression of it is a powerful Internet security company (free 360 security guards and 360 antivirus). In recent years, 360 has continued to make efforts in smart terminal products. Routers, tachographs, smart phones, children's watches and other products stand out in many products with their high cost performance and safety concept. There are not many products, but they are always popular with high-quality products. The author once bought 360 children's watches for friends, which are cost-effective and fashionable, We have to admire its strong ability to integrate Internet resources. 360 has long been keenly aware of the strong demand of the children's intelligent terminal market and launched its own children's brand: Badilon. In September, its children's robot products finally came out, casting a heavy bomb on the chaotic and complex robot market, both good and bad, 360's consistent good quality and its strong Internet resources and security leadership have laid a solid foundation for the success of this product. Thank you Love to play computer games Try out the new products provided by the trial center, and we will get to the point right away.

[I. Fashion Gift]

‍

It has to be said that the packaging of 360 Children's Robot is exquisite. It is not only unique in shape, but also beautifully printed. The gift box packaging is destined to be a gift for children.

‍

The happiness of opening a gift is self-evident. No wonder the package is so big. It turns out that this 360 child robot is really big. It just lies in it quietly, waiting for the master's call.

‍

There are not many accessories attached. One charger, one slide set, one manual, one warranty card and one brochure. Before calling Buddy, let's take a look at the configuration and appearance of the product.

‍

The figure of 321cm (height) * 236cm (width) is a little bigger than the 10 inch doll, and it is also very heavy. It was originally 2.2kg, and the bottom should be made with corresponding weights. 5G of permanent cloud storage is the biggest highlight. Other configurations can only be said to be just right. Personally, 1G of memory is slightly insufficient, which will have a certain impact on the running speed. After all, it is developed based on Android 5.0. At least 2G of memory should be available. The specific speed is yet to be experienced.

‍

There is only one power button in the middle of the pure white body, and the MIC hole is below. In addition, the body is smooth and clean. From the material point of view, it uses ABS environment-friendly plastic, which has a fine feel and good texture.

‍

‍

The big head is cute enough, but there is also a vertical collar of the classic European style windbreaker, which looks elegant. Baby can't wait to dress up for her.

‍ ‍

At the back of the big head is a large area of audio openings, so I'm looking forward to the HI-FI sound effect of this robot. As smart products, reset keys and expansion cards seem to be indispensable, and their locations are relatively hidden.

‍

360 Robot uses the MICRO USB port for charging. Although it is a low level compared with the popular seat charge or even wireless charging of smart terminals, it is very versatile, and can be used as long as the 5V-2A charger is used.

‍ ‍

‍

It is worth affirming that the design of the body is very powerful. The 360 degree rotation of the base and the 35 degree angle adjustment of the head make it easy for adults and children to use it. If it can achieve electric intelligent rotation, it will definitely have a sense of technology!

[II. Smart playmates]

‍

As early as 2012, TOM cats, which are popular all over the world, are children's favorite. Children are delighted by the feedback of imitation, voice change and touching different parts. In the past two years, the rise of intelligent robots has provided children with a more interactive and emotional communication experience.

‍‍ ‍

The reason why it is not called a toy is that 360 children's robot has exceeded the functions of ordinary toys. With the help of the Internet, cloud technology and intelligent systems, it has become a link between children and parents. Her functions are also dazzling. A large number of excellent early education software has been integrated into this small robot, which can teach for fun, and parents will also be more worry free. Due to limited space, let's select some representative ones to have a look!

‍

First, she must be connected to the Internet. Press and hold the power key to start the robot. Similar to smart phones and tablets, most of its functions are based on the network. (The process of networking will not be repeated. It is the same as the common intelligent terminal linking WIFI.)

‍

‍

The designer created his brand as a cartoon playmate (said to be from the planet of Bobby Bobby, ha ha). The naughty and cute image is easy to make children feel close.

‍

The startup process takes about 20 seconds. In addition to the slogan, I think it will be better if it is accompanied by startup music.

360 Child Robot's function settings are much weakened. In addition to viewing voice commands and setting the network, it mainly focuses on advanced settings and eye protection settings, including video capture, remote query, silent view, active greetings and night rest mode. The eye protection mode is mainly to reduce blue light damage and regularly remind the baby to rest, Because children's vision protection is particularly important during their development, this kind of setting is very necessary, but the access control idiom or calculation puzzle solving before entering the setting is basically useless for older children. It would be better if password unlocking could be added.

‍

The first interface is Buddy's super large eyes. No wonder it is necessary to make the finishing point. With these eyes, the entire robot will come alive. Collecting various expressions of Buddy through voice has become the primary task of children. Only a dozen expressions have been collected, and others need to be explored. From the perspective of evaluation, well, this IPS screen has exquisite colors and very good display effect.

‍

Then, most of her functions are based on children's use. In terms of age, they are suitable for children aged 5-9. However, in actual experience, both children and I feel that the functional experience is more inclined to young children.

‍

‍

Before use, users need to register and add family members. The robot's face recognition function needs to collect photos of people from three angles. In the actual use process, when I enter the camera range, Buddy will take the initiative to say: "Hello, Dad" and "Dad is the pillar of the family". This flattery is very comfortable.

Buddy is an emoticon, and the recognition rate of speech recognition is good for 9-year-old children. For example, you can ask "weather", "time", "tiger's English" and various encyclopedias of words. These functions are generally simple. When you are unhappy, you can let her tell a joke, tell a story, play a piece of music, and so on. Such recognition speed is very fast. More complex topics, such as the child asking: "Buddy, can you tell me why the sky is so blue?", Buddy's encyclopedia database will immediately explain through the principle of light, as well as "how to protect the eyes" and so on. These daily sermons are easier for Buddy children to accept.

One surprise is that the robot seems to have a learning function. For example, I often ask Buddy about the weather. When Buddy "sees" me, he will not only take the initiative to say hello, but also broadcast the weather, a smart little guy. However, in the process of communication, when the speed of speaking is too fast or the problem is complicated, Buddy is a little dizzy. For example, when a child asks, "Buddy, what does a tiger look like, "Little master, we have to follow the routine" "Ah, we just slipped, can you say it again?" or "Baobao is tired, can you take a rest". Obviously, Badilon is still learning about the earth, and the siege lions need to refuel!

‍

In fact, for this robot, besides hardware, it is rare that software development is also in place. Ten minutes on the stage and ten years off the stage, such as English, mathematics, painting, nursery rhymes, ancient poems, encyclopedias, etc., all need powerful software and databases as support. It is not easy for 360 Child Robot to integrate these software as a perfect enlightenment education system.

‍

Like learning English and painting, there is also a matching AR magic mirror package. It is very creative to make full use of the software recognition function of the camera to interact through the mirror. The "magic mirror" in the shape of Badilon is installed by magnetic suction, and the feel is also very good. Children will feel special magic about this interactive communication.

‍

For example, when a horse appears on the screen, children can place English words on the panel through cards, and Buddy can automatically identify and judge right and wrong, which is very suitable for children to learn.

‍

‍

Another example is painting. The software provides a template for children. From easy to difficult, children can copy more easily. Buddy will record all the processes and show them in fast forward mode. Parents can also view them synchronously on the mobile phone, which is very interesting.

‍

When a child misses his/her parents, he/she can also make an online video call via voice (similar to WeChat). At this time, the 360 child robot in the mobile phone APP will display an incoming call.

‍ ‍

Under normal network conditions, the quality of images and voice is very good. The robot uses a 1080P camera, and it is easy to display multiple people with an 85 degree ultra wide viewing angle. However, parents should pay attention to turning on the APP, or they will not receive the phone.

‍

Of course, parents can also launch video surveillance through APP to see what's going on at home and what the children are doing. At this time, they think it would be better if the robot could rotate, and even save watching the family heirlooms.

‍

In the process of use, Buddy will also automatically identify and capture a small video and push it to the cloud. This function can capture the most innocent pictures of children. For parents, every trick or expression of children is a precious memory, especially for parents who can't often accompany their children.

‍

Finally, when it comes to music, I'm afraid that this is the only function that adults can use. Pop music can also be played. The resources come from Kuwo music, and the sound quality is really unknown. The sound field effect is very strong, and the sound penetration is also very strong. The sound cavity is well controlled, and even the maximum sound will not break. It can be used as a speaker. You can also voice adjust the volume during playback, or directly ask Buddy to adjust the volume to the maximum or minimum. Here, it should be noted that if the volume is too high, the speech recognition rate will decrease or even be basically invalid. This is also a BUG that is hard to avoid.

‍

‍

Of course, children's songs are more suitable for children. A Doraemon will arouse the yearning of many children. The problem of voice command failure when the voice is too loud was also mentioned earlier. Here 360 still gives the volume touch control button, which is convenient to operate. Some nursery rhymes are also equipped with high-definition animation, and children prefer the form of nursery rhymes with pictures and sounds.

‍

Children love to listen to stories. Buddy can set the sleeping time every night. When it is close to this time, saying "tell stories" to Buddy will automatically enter the bedtime story state, and the screen will automatically darken.

‍

In order to ensure the baby's sleep, the sleep time of 360 Children's Robot is set by the parents. At the set time, Buddy will remind the baby that it is time to sleep, and then play with her tomorrow. This way is more suitable for children to accept. However, the unlocking method is too simple for the nine year old children in the family. It is not a problem whether it is arithmetic or idiom unlocking, so it is still necessary to set a parent password.

‍

In addition to the stories provided by the system, parents can also record stories for their babies under the K story column on the mobile phone. The APP will provide pictures and scripts, similar to karaoke, which can be read by parents according to the text progress. After the recording is completed, the APP will automatically synthesize voice and pictures and send them to the cloud, and Buddy will timely remind children that "Dad told you a story, go and listen".

Although it is just a simple recording and sending, babies can convey the stories that parents tell to their children through robots. This kind of parent-child experience seems to be particularly effective for children. What's the point of recording a series of stories at one time?

360's design principle for software is to make it as simple as possible, which is well reflected in the APP. The interface is intuitive and easy to use. Through the APP, robots and personal information can also be set. It is also a common method for smart terminals to ensure security through code scanning pairing and mobile phone real name registration. However, 360's cloud security mechanism is much safer than some public cloud platforms, After all, it is the largest Internet security company in China, which is quite reassuring.

[III. Charging and endurance]

360 children's robot is equipped with 6700mAh lithium battery, which has a satisfactory capacity. However, this robot is also a major power consumer. The power management of 360 children's OS developed based on Android 5.1 system needs to be strengthened. After children play all kinds of applications, about three times a day, half an hour each time, which consumes about 60% of the power. However, it seems that the power consumption of standby is not small. The power consumption of 12 hour standby is 40%. That is to say, if you forget to turn off the machine after playing for one day, the power may be lost the next day. This should be a problem of firmware. After all, this robot has just been launched, and it is understandable that it needs optimization.

The charging time is about 2.5 hours. For such a large capacity battery, the fast charging of 5V-2A is still acceptable.

[IV. Summary]

After nearly two weeks' trial, 360 children's robot has become a playmate for children. It can be seen that its "playability" is very strong. First, let's talk about its advantages:

1. The screen has anti blue light function, and the infrared distance sensor can effectively prevent children from getting too close to the screen. In addition, the software settings have anti addiction, and you can set the use and rest time by yourself.

2. Suitable for a wide range of ages. For older children, it is more suitable to watch animation, speak English, spell words, and interact with each other. For younger children, it is more suitable to learn mathematics, read picture books, Chinese learning museums, learn Chinese characters, ancient poems, small games, and travel and home safety.

3. Powerful material and hardware configuration, clear camera, beautiful screen, sound effect, flexible rotation and angle adjustment are very convenient to use.

4. Cooperating with many educational manufacturers makes the products have strong scalability, and all kinds of learning contents, pictures and dubbing are quite professional and exquisite.

5. K stories, small videos, AR suits, etc. are full of creativity, which can record children's little by little. APP has powerful storage functions with cloud space, so parents can easily communicate with children and view their growth moments.

Disadvantages:

1. The system still needs to be optimized. The power control is not effective. Although it is equipped with a large capacity battery, its endurance is really not good.

2. The function of speech recognition is still relatively small, such as animals can not display normally, and there is still room for improvement.

3. Third party applications can also expand the age hierarchy, and the use of age stratification needs to be strengthened.

Suggestion:

1. If you can add wheels and steering functions, it will be too powerful! It should not be difficult for 360!

2. If mobile APP can add push function (Bluetooth or WIFI), it will enrich robot applications, such as pushing pictures, videos, music, voice, etc.
