XIAOWEI can make a family's daily life easier", states Dr. Tang Jian, IEEE

when XIAOWEI detects a family member is coming home, it can turn on the lights

and air conditioner in advance to set a comfortable temperature and humidity

for their arrival.

XIAOWEI is able to identify family members through the use of face and body

tracking technology, making the versatile robot a reliable AI housekeeper that

can also deliver effective all-around security. you can direct the robot to

visit every corner of the house to keep an eye on happenings and to help

deliver household items, remote monitoring and safety patrol.

It's worth noting that XIAOWEI is also an excellent playmate; utilizing its

built-in projector and other advanced technologies it's able to create a mobile

theater, entertainment center, and interactive play area at home to keep the

entire family amused.

XIAOWEI robot is able to scan the home in all directions through its built-in

3D camera, perform autonomous exploration and mapping, identify object

attributes, and compile semantic information through its 3D Semantic mapping.

For example, through this technology, the robot XIAOWEI knows which is the sofa

and where the sofa is, and then you tell him "go to the sofa", and XIAOWEI will

go to the sofa by himself using its navigation functions by responding to a

voice command.

"Looking to the future, the household robot brings multiple possibilities." Dr.

Tang Jian highlighted that household robots, just like smartphones and new

energy vehicles, are already changing people's lifestyles and will become a

basic must-have for families.
