Have you ever thought that a machine made of iron and plastic can understand your happiness and sorrow like a true companion? China’s leading robotics company UBTech has completely turned this science-fiction fantasy into reality. The company has launched the world’s first such amazing humanoid (human-like) robot, which has been specially designed not to do heavy work in factories, but to remove the loneliness of humans. its name UWORLD U1 Who not only looks exactly like humans but can also deeply feel their changing emotions and expressions.
Feel of real skin and wonder of 88 joints
This unique robot UWORLD U1 was presented to the world for the first time on June 30 in China’s tech hub Shenzhen, which has created a stir in the tech industry as soon as it arrived. The biggest USP of this robot is that its entire structure has been coated with advanced silicone, due to which its skin feels exactly like that of a real human being when touched.
This robot has been launched in the market in two different versions, in which the length of the male robot is 183 centimeters and the length of the female robot is 168 centimeters. 88 artificial joints have been added to its entire body, with the help of which it can move and move its arms and legs in a very flexible and natural manner, just like humans.
Emotional AI will understand the words of the heart, will work without ‘wake word’
It would be a big mistake to consider UWORLD U1 as just an inanimate machine because a very advanced ‘Emotional Artificial Intelligence’ (Emotional AI) system has been fitted inside it. The company’s official claim is that this robot can recognize more than 20 different emotional states of humans (like anger, sadness, happiness, stress) in a moment.
When you share something with it, this robot will talk by making eye contact. Not only this, it has the ability of long-term memory and deep learning, due to which it remembers old things and with time understands your nature and responds like a true friend. To talk to it, you do not need to say any wake word like ‘Alexa’ or ‘Hey Siri’, it starts the conversation automatically after seeing your mood.
Variants and price: Starting from ₹14 lakh to ₹1.15 crore
In this era of metaverse and AI, this robot has been introduced in three different variants as per the needs of the customers, which are named Light, Pro and Ultra. If we talk about its price, its starting variant is priced at 1,19,800 Yuan i.e. around Rs 14 lakh, while the price of its most advanced top-end model (Ultra) goes up to 9,90,000 Yuan i.e. around Rs 1.15 crore. There is such a craze for this robot in the global market that on the very first day of its launch, the company had received bumper pre-orders of 13,361 units.
No tension of data leak, your secret will remain on local processor
There is often a big risk of personal data being leaked and conversations being recorded with any advanced AI device or robot, but UBTech has built an impenetrable wall on the security front. UWORLD U1’s full emotional AI model is powered by Rockchip’s superfast RK3588 processor But it works completely at the local level (On-Device AI).
This simply means that whatever conversation or emotions you share with the robot, its data will not be uploaded to any cloud server, but will remain encrypted in the internal memory of the robot. The company has given it a ‘three-layer privacy architecture’, due to which the user’s privacy remains 100% protected and there is no fear of data theft.
Will handle everything from care of the elderly to hotel reception
James Zhou, CEO of UBTech, said during the launching event, “The world of robotics has now entered a completely new and revolutionary era. Earlier, robots used to only perform tedious or dangerous tasks for humans in factories, but now they are becoming our true companions in our homes.”
This robot can be used effectively in the care of elderly people living alone, children’s education, big corporate hotels, reception areas and premium home services. Keeping in mind the safety and sensitivity, the company has made it clear that this robot will be made available for sale only to adults (Adult Buyers).
