At the presentation, the robot passed to center stage, handed the company's CEO Lei Jun a flower, and then agreed to take a selfie with the man who created it. In addition, CyberOne was able to leave the stage on its own.
The humanoid became the second product of Xiaomi Robotics Lab, in August 2021 the company released the CyberDog robot. The “face” of the robot is made of a bent OLED panel, it can “see” the world in 3D, and also “hear” it with the help of two microphones capable of capturing 85 environmental sounds, as well as “45 classifications of human emotions”.
The robot body has 21 degrees of freedom, it contains 13 joints. But, as the publication notes, CyberOne is not as agile as Atlas from Boston Dynamics.
The cost of the robot will start from 89 to 104 thousand dollars. However, it is still unclear when CyberOne will be put into mass production. Until then, Xiaomi will work on adding new features and capabilities to the already existing prototype.
