Evaluation of versatile, funny, joyful and unforgettable children's robots

After the evaluation of IT 168, in childhood, a bully became an expense for their spare time study and play. In the 20th century, with the advent of computers and smart phones, it was easier to meet the needs of learning and entertainment, but the problem of addiction could not be avoided by children's early contact. If intelligent robots become children's small partners in early education, play and learning may really be combined.

Small I robot is an interactive robot with educational elements. It is designed as a family character with children aged 3-8. Small I robot keeps children away from the lonely learning environment through active chat, snapshots, early education knowledge, rich interactive actions and expressions. In addition, it also has video chat and video surveillance design, which is also a magic weapon for parents to pay attention to their children anytime and anywhere. This small I robot, developed by 360 eco-chain company King Kong Ant, has attracted a lot of attention since it was unveiled at Yiwu Internet Conference last year. As for whether parents are willing to pay for their children in the end, you should have an answer in your heart through this evaluation.

The open box is relatively large, but there are not many accessories inside. In addition to the small I robot, there are only power adapters and instructions.

Does the little I robot look a bit like an owl? With big eyes, small wings retracted, upright body and small round decoration, I believe even children can't refuse such a lovely gesture.

Obviously, Yi's head is almost as big as her body. You may consider that it is easy for a child to trip the robot by putting his hand on her head. Actually, it is not. Don't think her head is too big and heavy. Xiaoyi's body is very strong and can support her head well. This big head can rotate 360 degrees.

There is also a rotating device between the leg and the body, which is convenient for the small robot to make more flexible turning movements, but unfortunately it is not equipped with driving wheels. In addition, the bottom is equipped with a power button and a 18V power interface, which can be charged for 4 hours and used for 6 hours when fully charged.

The front face is a 7-inch LCD screen with rounded corners. The default display is Xiao Yi's standard expression, watery big eyes and small mouth, blinking from time to time, as if listening to you carefully, giving people the feeling of being a robot endowed with life.

The design of silver aluminum alloy metal ring makes the "big black face" and the back of the head play a better transition role and look more comfortable.

There is also a set of direction keys and confirmation keys at the chin, which will be used when adjusting Xiaoyi's system.

The forehead position is a 4 megapixel camera with low illumination and high brightness, which can automatically improve the sensitivity and make the picture look clearer in the dark indoor environment. In addition to taking photos and recording videos, the small I robot can also be used as a monitoring lens. There are two stereo microphones on both sides of the camera to increase the clarity of recording.

Overhead is a touch-sensitive wake/stop button, which is used when Xiao Yi falls asleep and wants to interrupt her singing.

The left and right sides are respectively provided with touch-sensitive volume addition and subtraction keys, which are used to adjust the volume when Xiaoyi speaks and plays music.

Xiaoyi's "hands" are two speakers, surrounded by light blue LED lights. Each power is 3W, and the sound quality is not comparable to that of ordinary Bluetooth speakers. Besides, we don't need to pursue the experience that doesn't belong to this product, and we don't need to be serious, but the volume is really loud.

The fuselage has three touch function keys, namely WIFI connection, automatic snapshot and automatic video recording. The blue light indicates the on state. When it is off, just touch it and wait for the indicator light to go out. Xiaoyi will automatically take photos, record a 5-second video, and capture a moment of the child without your knowledge.

Small I robot has rich anthropomorphic elements, and expression is one of them. Whether it is deliberately selling cute or coquetry for care, users can easily feel its emotional reaction. It will give you a glad eye when it is triumphant; If no one chats, your eyelids will stay, indicating that you are sleepy; If you are wronged by ugly words, I will give you a crying face at once; When you say what it is afraid of, it will make a frightened expression.

Small I robot is not only a toy to amuse children, but also a channel for children's preschool education. Primary one uses deep speech recognition technology to build a huge database of children's learning, including the recognition mode suitable for 3-year-old children, English words, Chinese poems and mathematics to be learned by 8-year-old children. For example, if you casually say the name of a fruit or vehicle, Xiao Yi can immediately recognize the success and display it on the screen in the form of video and audio, which will help children to recognize new things. When asking some words, Xiao Yi's speech recognition accuracy rate reached 90%, and one mistake in ten times may only be due to inaccurate radio reception or system congestion, which is quite excellent for a child intelligent robot!

The camera has added face recognition function, which is not just as simple as marking all the faces in the picture with a border. As long as you remember the appearance and voice characteristics of the host, no matter how the host moves his head, Yi will aim the camera at the host and keep you in the middle of the picture, thus saving us the trouble of manually adjusting Yi's head in the video conversation.

Video dance:

The above is a rich interactive display of Xiao Yi. As long as you open your mouth and shout at it, it will tell a story, sing a song or tell a joke. If you don't stop, it will continue to put down a paragraph. Bian Xiao found that every time he stopped and gave an order, the repetition rate of switching songs or stories was really low. This is because Xiaoyi will retrieve data from a huge cloud server. Judging from the test, he heard a different version every time. Having said that, I still want to vomit. Xiao Yi's pronunciation has obvious taste of artificial intelligence, which is similar to the feeling of 10086 system when reporting numbers, and it sounds a bit stiff.

Video-man-machine dialogue:

In the aspect of man-machine conversation, if the question asked is beyond Xiao Yi's cognitive scope, the question is too complicated or the surrounding noise is too loud, Xiao Yi generally does not respond or answers according to the key words. But some simple communication is still possible, such as "Are you a boy or a girl?" "What color do you like?" "Who is your father?" "What's the weather like today?" "What do you like to eat?" It can answer and even repeat what you just said. The overall feeling is that chatting with a robot from an adult's point of view is quite pleasant, and it will make you laugh unintentionally, which is considered to be one of the more active robots.

Episode: "Uncle, I'm so full for breakfast that I can burp." "Uncle, I'm telling you quietly that Xiaoyi just farted." "Why do you have to go to work at night?" The lighting environment is too dark Xiaoyi occasionally has such a dialogue and takes the initiative to strike up a conversation. It is estimated that it was carefully screened and then entered into the system, which makes people laugh. In addition, a colleague said something to it in English, and then Xiao Yi was instantly unconvinced. She explained the popular science in China to us in detail. I guess it was copied from Baidu Encyclopedia. We adults stopped (laughing our heads off) after listening to a few words. It is estimated that a child who is too young will look silly after listening to two sentences. Bian Xiao recalled that such an answer always wanted to laugh ... hahahahahahahaha! Have you ever seen such an interesting robot?

Xiaoyi APP is downloaded in major application markets and can be connected to WIFI after installation. The main interface is a small memory calling function, including remote monitoring and video calling.

Parents can make video calls with their children anytime, anywhere using the mobile app. After opening the video call, the screen of the mobile phone shows the picture taken by Xiaoyi, and the front camera of the mobile phone is in the upper left corner. You can use the arrow keys on the APP to adjust Xiaoyi's camera, and you can also take photos and videos during the period. Similarly, Xiaoyi's screen display content is the picture taken by the mobile phone. On the contrary, if you say "call Dad" to Xiao Yi, then Dad's mobile phone will also receive a video call request.

The 4 megapixel wide-angle camera used by Xiaoyi will distort the edge of the picture, but the imaging quality is quite good, the exposure control is just right, and the dark details are preserved. By default, Xiao I turns on the active snapshot function, and actively captures face photos to help children retain beautiful moments.

Xiaoyi can secretly turn on the camera and provide real-time monitoring screen for the mobile phone, so that parents can know their children's every move without letting them find out, especially when parents tell their children to do their homework at home on time after work. If their children lie, their parents know it clearly.

The recent photos and videos are provided in Xiaoyi Album, which can be divided into automatic capture and manual capture. Users can browse, download and share, and we can also upload photos and videos taken by mobile phones to Xiaoyi Album.

Xiaoyi does not show power, only when the power is low. We can check the power in the APP setting interface, and set the baby's information, add management members, whether to automatically take photos and upload them, and so on.

Summary:

Small I robot takes "entertaining" as its purpose. In Xiao Yi's view, learning is easy, not bound by boring rote memorization, at least without seeing the rules and regulations of the system on the learning machine. Instead, it stimulates children's desire for exploration and knowledge by creating an interactive and positive communication atmosphere with children.

Through the exchange of various expressions, the small I robot has improved our dull impression of intelligent robots in anthropomorphic design. Xiao Yi's speech recognition ability is not bad, which belongs to the upper-middle level and can basically perceive some of our simple intentions. Can sing and dance, but also take the initiative to chat and take the initiative to capture beautiful moments. The key is to have a lot of early education knowledge stored in the cloud, and answer children's questions with vivid and interesting images and audio. If you have a question, you have to answer it, and the child will naturally learn it. Of course, there is also a 4 megapixel face recognition camera, which provides a lot of practicality and convenience in video calling and monitoring.
