Keep an eye on children and the elderly and try out the Xiaoxi intelligent robot

IT168 Review Xiaoxi Robot is a one-click intelligent robot designed and developed by Shenzhen Xiaoxi Technology Co., Ltd. specifically for children and the elderly. One-click design based on XIUI. It is mainly an intelligent device used by the elderly and children at home. Xiaoxi Robot solves the confusion of parents and children who are in different places being unable to meet frequently. At the same time, it is a "one-click video chat" specially designed for children and the elderly. The author has already obtained the beta version of the robot in advance, and has already been fascinated by the cute cat-shaped head. I believe the beautiful shape is the most attractive feature of this robot.

▲ Be optimistic about children and the elderly and try out the Xiaoxi intelligent robot

Since it is a beta version, the packaging may not be in its final form. You can see from the design style of the box that this robot is relatively home-like, and those cute meows can be seen everywhere. It is in line with the product positioning of early education, children and intelligence.

The appearance of Xiaoxi’s robot is the absolute highlight. When I saw the renderings at the time, I was a bit shocked. Will such a beautiful robot really be mass-produced? Now that I have got the real thing, it is indeed the same as what was revealed before. It's just as beautiful as the renderings. Both the design and workmanship are very good: the back is made of white skin-like material, which is delicate and comfortable to the touch. The joint between "Meow Meow"'s head and "body" is very strong, and the quality is absolutely guaranteed. According to official information, this robot is actually produced by Foxconn, which is indeed a bit unexpected.

The details of Xiaoxi's robot are quite interesting. The head is a 7-inch display screen, but it doesn't feel like the LCD panel is embedded in a rigid manner. The overall control is very natural. I saw that this cat has ears and a mouth. It is very cute. The mouth is actually the home button, and the ears are made of soft plastic to ensure that children will not be scratched. The microphone is hidden under the mouth and does not affect the overall aesthetics. You can also see a metal tail on the back, which is too cute to miss.

The back of the robot's head is equipped with a power button and a camera. The speaker is below the button. A black hole with a mesh is the robot's speaker. The Reset button for resetting factory settings is a small hole above the power button.

Long press the power button to turn on the Xiaoxi robot. On the startup screen, you will see a very cute "西" character. Then the boot speed is very fast, and you enter the main interface all of a sudden. It can be seen that the system of Xiaoxi Robot has been deeply streamlined, with only a few practical applications retained, and it starts up very quickly.

The startup screen will prompt the user how to connect the Xiaoxi robot. The mobile APP is an indispensable link. The user can download the APP through the QR code provided on the prompt screen, and then follow the prompts to bind the mobile phone to the Xiaoxi robot. Once set together, various functional operations can be performed.

The functions of Xiaoxi robot are not complicated. It mainly has four functions: video chat, early childhood education software, film and television resources, and voice dialogue. I think these functions are already very practical, and systems based on the Android kernel may add more rich functions in the future. I believe that the scalability of Xiaoxi Robot is still very exciting. Now let the author talk about the current use of this robot.

The first thing I want to talk about is human-machine dialogue, because as a "robot" that is claimed to be for families, the degree of intelligence is very important. The realization of the voice dialogue function is a test of the developer's skills. Built-in artificial intelligence system. Just shout "Hello Xiaoxi" to the robot, and the Xiaoxi robot can check the weather, look up recipes, ask encyclopedias, tell stories, and recite Tang poems. However, if you ask strange questions, it will show "I am still learning this skill." After all, it is not a super database like Siri. The speech that Xiaoxi's machine can currently recognize is practical enough.

▲Say "weather" and the weather forecast will pop up

▲Voice recognition is more accurate. If the database is improved, the answer results will be more interesting

The video chat function is two-way, supporting one-click initiation of video conversations from Xiaoxi Robot to the mobile phone, and support for mobile phones to initiate conversations with Xiaoxi Robot. The video operation of the robot is started with one click, which is very simple. I believe that the difficulty of complex operations for children and elderly people at home has been considered, so the experience settings on the robot side are very stupid. I like the user-friendly settings. At the same time, it is worth noting that the robot also has the function of monitoring the situation at home. When the mobile phone initiates a video call, if no one answers after 5 seconds, it will automatically dial, so that you can see the situation at home.

▲Oh no, the old lady was bitten by a wolf

▲Watching my daughter video chatting with the old lady on her mobile phone

< p>Xiaoxi Robot has built-in children's education resources and cooperates with third-party professional children's education institutions to provide educational content for all ages. These contents are more educational. Although the author is not an expert in educational software, I feel that the overall style of the built-in software is in the direction of children's intellectual enlightenment. I personally think it is more suitable for preschool education.

Film and television resources mainly provide entertainment for family members. It has built-in movies, TV series, variety shows, etc., which are similar to the resources of ordinary home TVs. Of course, the richness of resources still needs to be improved. Of course, a system based on the Android kernel can expand a better media center, and there is still a lot of room for optimization.

The author’s summary:

Children and the elderly are believed to be the two groups that people are most concerned about now. If there is a tool that allows you to take care of the old and the young at home remotely (maybe N old and N young), what a beautiful vision that is. Xiaoxi Robot is one of the intelligent products developing in this direction. At present, the manufacturing process of Xiaoxi Robot is believed to be the best in the industry, and the design is very beautiful and the workmanship is very good. Xiaoxi robot does not have many functions, but the existing functions are implemented very well. The speech recognition is more accurate and faster than expected. At the same time, the video conversation process is also very stable and easy to operate. Coupled with good third-party early childhood education software, this appearance This very cute little machine really impresses people, and I am very optimistic about its market performance when it is officially launched.
