LOOK: This Humanoid Robot Can Detect Human Emotions

In a recent product launch in Beijing, Xiaomi introduced the newest member of Xiaomi’s Cyber series.

CyberOne, Xiaomi’s first humanoid robot joins last year’s quadruped robot Cyberdog. The humanoid robot now has the ability to detect human emotion, advanced vision capabilities, and functionality allowing it to create three-dimensional virtual reconstructions of the real world, alongside a host of other advanced technologies. 

“CyberOne’s AI and mechanical capabilities are all self-developed by Xiaomi Robotics Lab. We have invested heavily in R&D spanning various areas, including software, hardware, and algorithms innovation,” says Lei Jun, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Xiaomi Group. 

CyberOne is a humanoid robot measuring 177cm in height and 52kg by weight, with an arm span of 168cm. Compared to a quadruped robot, this humanoid robot is more mechanically complex, requiring more powerful motors, more degrees of freedom, and complex humanoid biped control algorithms. CyberOne supports up to 21 degrees of freedom in motion and achieves a real-time response speed of 0.5ms for each degree of freedom, which allows it to fully simulate human movements.

The humanoid robot is a combination of different research and technologies like bionic perception and cognition, biomechatronics, artificial intelligence, big data and cloud computing, and visual navigation.
