This year, the most popular intelligent digital products are VR devices and UAVs. However, there is another product that has been quietly developing, that is, robots. However, the current robot technology is far from being as intelligent as that in science fiction films, but it is somewhat uneven. There are even many digital products that only have the function of voice interaction, and they dare to be called robots with cartoon eyes.
In fact, the best developed and most widely used robot is the child accompanying robot. As a father in the field of preschool education, I have experienced many so-called children's robots, both good and bad. To sum up, I feel that a real child robot should have at least the following functions.
1. Video interaction. Through the app, parents can interact with their children remotely to strengthen parent-child communication;
2. There are rich educational resources. Child robot is an intelligent story machine, which can let children watch animation, listen to children's songs and learn knowledge;
3. Appropriate intellectual autonomy. Speech recognition, face recognition, distance recognition, etc.
However, I have recently experienced Love to play computer games The provided 360 child robot can be said to be a child robot that is very suitable for current children. It not only has the above three points, but also has a lovely appearance and convenient use. Children can't put it down.
The packaging box of 360 Children's Robot is very large and heavy, but it is very well designed. Personally, I think that the overall design level of the auto 360 children's series has been greatly improved and has become a tall brand.
Through the outer packaging, it can be learned that 360 child robots have up to 12 features. Including intelligent voice, face recognition, intelligent capture, video call, remote viewing, K stories, nursery rhymes, stories, encyclopedias, words, arithmetic, question and answer, etc. Of course, I can't test these characteristics one by one, and I will try my best to write about my feelings when experiencing.
Open the box and you will see 360 Child Robot. It has a big head and looks like a little snowman. It is cute and cute. Its height and weight are also the largest robots I have ever experienced. However, my daughter is three-and-a-half years old, and it is very easy to pick up the 360 child robot.
There is also a large box in the base of the 360 child robot. This is its AR suite. Open the box to see a lovely yellow Badilon mirror, a roll of positioning mat, a charger and two sets of subtitle cards.
All friends who have used children's education products should know that AR is still very extensive in the field of early childhood education. Through the shooting function of the device, the screen can be changed from a plane to a 3D display, and it can be interpreted with sound to help children learn, which is also one of the characteristics of 360 Children's Robot.
360 child robot has a "button" on its chest, which is actually a power switch. Press and hold to switch on and off, and there are blue LED indicators around this button, through which you can know the current status of 360 child robot. There is also a earpiece shaped hole below the switch, which is the microphone. When 360 child robot interacts with children, it receives sound from here.
On the top of the front of 360 child robot, there is a huge camera, which is said to be quite different from other similar child robots. Many robots have only one small hole, but this large camera will surely bring more clear and wide-angle pictures.
On the back of 360 children's robot, there are all net surfaces. At a glance, you can see that the stereo must be here. Because the machine has not been disassembled, I don't know how it is constructed, but I can feel its sound quality is very good in the actual experience. The effect is better than many sound systems.
In addition to a reset button, there is also a TF card slot on the back. 360 children's robot supports storage expansion, which is not available in many robots. It is a very surprising function, which means that more children like things can be stored.
Apart from the above, the entire 360 child robot has no other physical button switches. What if you want to adjust the volume? There is a virtual button on the side of the robot's face, through which you can easily adjust the volume, which is very simple.
Press and hold the power switch, 360 child robot will turn on. First of all, I learned how to use the robot through the instruction manual, and knew the name of the robot was Buddy. In fact, many functions can be realized through voice commands. Just say "Hello Buddy", and Buddy will answer. Then you can operate Buddy through voice commands such as "sing a song", "tell a story", and let it sing or tell a story. Of course, you can also take photos or ask other questions. Buddy will answer intelligently.
Buddy doesn't have only two big cute eyes. Double click the screen to enter Buddy's system interface. 360OS has customized a unique system for robots. The UI design is very beautiful. It can be seen that it is also deeply customized based on Android, simplifying the menu, and visualizing the interface for children's understanding. Even if children can't understand the text, they can know what the content of each icon is visually.
Buddy's parent management interface is not easy to access. It is not only good at calculation, but also can understand idioms. It effectively prevents children from randomly changing settings.
In the setting interface, there are many things that can be operated. The first is the face recognition function. Buddy has a face recognition function, which can be entered in advance. When users pass Buddy, it will greet them accordingly. Buddy can recognize many faces with high accuracy.
Other settings are also very rich, such as time limit, regular rest, and some interactive functions. You can also view the firmware upgrade system.
Buddy focuses on company. Like many robots, they all have a video call function. They can chat with their parents' mobile phones via the Internet. This scene in the past science fiction is now very common. But if you want to receive a call from your baby at any time, your mobile app must be running in the background at all times. After testing, Buddy's effect is very good both in terms of call clarity and video quality, and children also like to use this function very much.
Let's focus on this camera. In fact, many functions of Buddy depend on this camera. For example, the video chat mentioned above. In fact, Buddy can also let children take selfies, as well as beautify their faces.
And Buddy will also recognize that the child has passed in front of you when you are not paying attention, and secretly record some small videos to save, recording the child's beautiful moments. In addition to allowing parents and children to remotely video, parents can also quietly check the situation here through their mobile phones, which is unknown to children.
The function menu in Buddy is divided into two page levels. The home page is a common function, such as phone, photo, etc., but there is a different column, that is, Star Paradise. There are many special functions in the Star Park, such as learning to draw and spell words using the AR suite.
Because Buddy's design is always a little dragon from an alien planet, which is very cute. You can also learn about Buddy's story through the attached small picture album first.
In a nutshell, this AR suite is actually used to implement some functions with the camera and the built-in AR game. The little Buddilon in the kit is very cute. It is a mirror that can turn the camera in front of the original shooting to the shooting desktop.
The positioning table mat and caption card in the kit are used together with the two apps of drawing and spelling.
To use the app of AR suite, you must use the authorized QR code. Only genuine ones can use it!
Briefly speaking, I feel that the AR suite is not practical. Maybe my child is still young, so I am not interested in the AR teaching at all. Maybe older children will like to play.
Children's favorite is the excellent children's apps built in the Star Park, such as baby bus, chicken crowing, etc., which are all children's favorite things, with rich nursery rhymes and stories. The child held Buddy in his arms and was very happy to watch the children's songs. Another advantage of Buddy is its distance sensing and reminding function. When children unconsciously get close, Buddy will remind them to protect their eyesight.
Before letting children play Buddy, parents also need to use mobile phones to download apps for cooperation. You can first bind Buddy, and then set some simple content according to the operation, such as administrator, children's information, etc., to facilitate Buddy's interaction.
The app interface of 360 Child Robot is actually very simple. There are only four main menus in total. The first one is the video interface, which is also the main interactive function of Buddy. Here you can conduct video interaction and view small videos recorded by Buddy. The second menu is the interface of small videos. After using it, I found that Buddy only records children's videos. By default, it records every half an hour, recording the moment when children play Buddy.
The third menu needs to be explained separately. It is very special, called K story. Everyone has karaoke, and this story is karaoke. Parents can record their own story telling voice along with the video and push it to Buddy, so that children can see the animated story told by their parents' voice on Buddy.
The last menu is the setting menu, which is synchronized with the setting menu above Buddy. Parents can set it on the app or Buddy, which is very convenient.
During the use, I found that the Star Paradise column is very powerful, and the built-in preschool education app is very popular with children. However, at present, Buddy does not support parents to customize the installation of third-party apps, but it can be recommended in the forum, and 360 will add it later.
For example, this "Beggar Learning Paradise" is a picture book reading app produced by Chicken Beggar. There are dozens of picture books for children to watch, and they are all dynamic picture books. It's like watching an animated cartoon. It's very interesting.
There is also a built-in Youku children's app, which contains many children's favorite cartoons and songs. For example, my daughter has fun watching Piggy Page. Good cartoons can also be downloaded offline, so that you can watch them when there is no network.
Every day when the child comes back from the kindergarten, the first thing is to hold Buddy to play with him, singing, dancing and playing games. The child has a new partner and is very happy.
Of course, in addition to some of the features described above, I also encountered some small problems in use. Here I will briefly describe.
The first is voice interaction. I found that when I talked with Buddy, the recognition rate was very high, but when the children talked with Buddy themselves, the recognition rate was not high. Buddy always shouted "Hello Buddy" several times without responding. Maybe this is also related to the child's voice, but I hope 360 can do more accurate speech recognition.
With regard to built-in resources, I still feel a little less at present. It would be great if we could improve them to double desktops. Parents' desktops can allow parents to install some apps that they want to use for their children, or even install some apps that parents use themselves, and children can watch a movie when they are not around. The children's desktop is the interface of Buddy itself, and it is better for parents to control which app is not displayed, because some items children do not like, or parents do not want children to play.
In addition, although the base can rotate, it can only be manually operated. If a motor can be added to the next generation of products, parents can control the rotation through the app, which will achieve 360 degree monitoring and a wider visual range.
In general, this 360 child robot is very good. Compared with several robots I have used before, they are more powerful, more beautiful, more interactive and easier to operate. It is very suitable for children to play. However, no good robot can replace parents' company. We must limit children's playing time, accompany children more personally, and do not let technology replace family affection.
