[PConline talk] When discussing smart homes, we often easily overlook a class of devices: smart robots. However, at present, the robot is still in an initial stage, so it is like a human being in a science fiction film like “Humanâ€. It has emotions and can complete complicated tasks. However, with the development of smart homes in recent years, more and more robots have appeared in various technologies. In this year's CES Asia, robotic products are also unveiled along with many high-tech concepts, such as smart cars and smart wear. What is the current stage of smart home devices? What tasks can help? Now we can follow our show report and take a look at these robots!
Smart home robots can be roughly divided into two categories. One is a voice assistant robot. Users can control the robot through voice commands, and complete the corresponding home switch control tasks, such as the Amazon Echo smart housekeeper (looks like a stereo). , use voice to communicate with it and achieve our order. The other type is application-type service robots. Their functions are very clear, but they are relatively simple. Such as sweeping robots and window-wiping robots are such representatives.
CES Asia Debuts Robot: It Looks Beautiful
There are many robots debuted at CES Asia, but the one with the highest degree of attention is, of course, Sharp's super cute RoBoHon mobile robot. This robot appeared as early as last month's Sharp conference, and this time with Sharp came to CES Asia. As the name implies, mobile robots are mobile phones + robots. The shape of the phone is very cool, just like the animation came out. The configuration is not very powerful (almost two years ago). The CPU only uses the Xiaolong 400 processor, 2-inch QVGA screen, and the resolution is more general; it supports 3G 4G network and so on.
In addition to the functions of an ordinary smartphone, it can also walk, dance, or play video and photos through a built-in projector. In addition, this mobile phone robot, like the smart home robot, supports three kinds of voice technologies, and is equipped with offline speech recognition and cloud computing voice recognition functions (cloud services need to be paid for). Currently RoBoHon has been officially listed, perhaps the most consumer-level playability of the current machine (but it is not yet known whether it can access the smart home for home control).
At present, it is not easy to use Sharp's robot in China. In addition to language barriers, the price is also a question worth considering. At present, there are many similar domestic robots, just like the home intelligence companion robots in the above diagram. The main target children are children. Most of these products have a “monitor†on their bodies, which is a bit like “tables that can walk†and all support Housekeeping, children's education, voice assistance and entertainment features. Man-machine interaction through voice, but also remote control of the robot through the mobile phone APP.
Although all of the robot products on display have voice capabilities, aren't they all different? But the problem is exactly here. We all know that Siri and Xiaona are different, and even more different from Google Now. There are many domestic speech assistants. Saying the same sentence on different robots, the output results may vary greatly. Imagine if the robot's speech recognition rate is poor and the response is poor, users are likely to “talk†with it, and the practicality is greatly deducted. Therefore, in addition to the basic basics of the robot (whether home control or children's education), speech recognition accuracy and dialogue ability, this is the quality of these robots test standards.
In addition, intelligent robots should have a variety of sensors and hardware, such as cameras, microphones, stereos, infrared and thermal sensors, distance sensors, thermometers, and ground detectors, so that robots can collect more information at home, facilitating users. Master the situation in the home and make adjustments in real time.
Flexible limbs for robots
In CES Asia, there are also some PLEN2 robots with four limbs active (the main part of the machine is 3D printing). For example, this robot can imitate people's movements. Even users can program themselves to let the robots play football to move small objects. ?
International big-name robots: unlike people
After finishing the bots on CES Asia, we might as well look at how these international big names are robots:
First look at Sony's Xperia Agent on display at MWC2016. Sony's positioning of it is a smart assistant at home. It is similar to the Amazon Echo voice assistant. It is also a cylinder and has no limbs but it is there. On the basis of adding a lot of features.
On the top of the camera is a camera that can rotate automatically. It can track and identify users in the house. Users can use gestures or passwords to allow users to get some weather, news, information, or to do some home control such as turning off lights and adjusting temperature. It also has a projector on its body that provides visual feedback.
Samsung also recently introduced an audio assistant robot named Otto. It consists of two parts: the body and the head. The head is black and white. It has a well-deserved black face. This black face is a monitor. It changes the expression according to different weather conditions. When it rains, it will have its face. The appearance of "tears" is very realistic. Not only that, Otto's head can also swing up and down to express emotions.
The Otto body part is also a cylinder, a pure white body, and the base is similar to a microphone mesh. Otto's body has built-in microphones and speakers, mainly for chatting, and perhaps it can also let it play music. In addition, it also supports home control functions, which can control various intelligent networking devices in the home, such as refrigerators, televisions, and light bulbs, by receiving user voice commands.
Rolling Bot show
Equipped with Micro USB interface, infrared sensor, etc.
The LG robot is simply a ball, the main function in addition to rolling will play, but also home monitoring. Since LG has a WiFi module and a camera on the Rolling Bot, it will stick to its position when the user leaves home, and users can remotely control your spherical robot to monitor your home's every move.
OK, so many robots were watched today. Do you know which one you most want to bring home? Whichever you choose, you must know that the current smart home robots do not reach a very "smart" stage, especially the voice function, which makes many robots launched by big international players only stay in the "voice assistant" stage. However, we expect there will be breakthrough progress in smart robots, and even more and more functional innovations, and these breakthroughs and innovations will be an important part of robots' formal entry into ordinary consumer families.
