Company Profile:
The perception and decision-making capabilities of robots in current unstructured environments remain a bottleneck in the industry. In collaboration with MENG DIAN TAN SUO Exploration's R&D team, we have developed the self-developed "Lingxi" multimodal fusion perception algorithm and the "Meta-action" underlying control framework. These advancements enable robots to understand and adapt to complex dynamic environments like living organisms, deeply integrating general artificial intelligence with physical dolls to create the next generation of emotional companion robots. We have successfully launched this product and firmly believe that the next wave of AI will unfold in the physical world. Consequently, we established an independent sales company in early 2025 to facilitate global distribution. Our flagship product - the Smart Pet Robot - simulates the soft texture of pets and features a multimodal perception system (visual, auditory, and tactile) along with adaptive learning algorithms. It can interact emotionally with users through eye contact, voice, and movements, optimizing behavioral patterns based on user habits. Offering emotional value in multilingual environments, it enhances interaction efficiency by 300% compared to traditional first-generation robot dolls. With notable strengths in emotional companionship and atmosphere enhancement, it serves as a loyal companion for store promotions, home companionship, and personal confidants.
