Sanbot open API enables developers to create various robotic solutions

The artificial intelligence robotics is booming, with more and more companies vying for market share. For the most part, though, these companies have all been from US or Europe. But things are always changing: now a Chinese manufacturer has come up with a robotic product that claims to offer open API, allowing developers to customize it.

Asmag: Could you briefly introduce your product? 

QIHAN Technology: Sanbot, powered by QIHAN Technology Co. Ltd.,is an intelligent Cloud-brained humanoid robot, one three-in-one ecosystem, which consist of Sanbot robot, Qihan Cloud service platform and Q-link mobile App. Sanbot is equipped with different types of sensitive sensors and reliable hardware such as 3D HD camera, 1080p display screen and 720p laser HD projector, etc.Integrating IBM Watson AI system, the robot is capable of human detection, facial recognition, automatic recharging, obstacle avoidance, voice recognition, localization and free interactionwith near 30 languages.

One of its most advantages is that Sanbot offers open API, which allows developers to customize and program various applications in retail, hospitality, security, healthcare and education industry. Till now, Sanbot robots have been successfully used at the scenarios like China Customs, Shenzhen and Guangzhou International Airport, Audi Launch event, with praises andpositive feedbacks from user.

What makes your product special? Why?

1.Powerful team: We now have more 800 working staff including over350 senior engineers with numerous-year research experience.They have published near 1000 hi-level theses and gained around 100 domestic and international patents.

2.Reliable hardware and software: Sanbot humanoid service robots adopt world-class hardware and software from Harman/Kardon, Foxconn, Panasonic, Sony, IBM Watson Baidu and iFlytek, etc.

3.Open-API: We offer openAPI and SDK for developers and integrators, which means that Sanbot can be programmed and customized according to the scenarios where they’d like the robot to work.

4.Mass-production capacity and competitive price: With full automatic production lines, Qihan manufacturing Center has the production capacity of 1,500 sets per day. We offer quitecompetitive prices for our partners including AI carrier distributors, robotic solution developers and integrators and we are now recruiting more partners like these. But we can’t say a definite price as their application areas, order quantities and customized requests.

5.Applications cases: Sanbot service robots have been approved and used in Gongbei Customs for customs inspection and Tax all. The advanced AI robots offer customized services in Guangzhou-Baiyun international airport and Shenzhen-Baoan International airport. Now Sanbot customized retail service robot support cashier assistance, membership processing, electronic coupons dispensing and write-offs, etc.

What are the factors that you expect will drive demand for your product? Why?

Each partner or user wants their purchasing product to be functional,reliable and with cost performance ratio. Sanbot open API robot meets all these requests. With open API, Sanbot can bring massive commercial value for all the agents, robot solution developers and integrators.

The design of the robot appears rather conventional, although one has to say the company could have worked on the face a bit more. As far as systems integrators are concerned, QIHAN Technology pointed out that the openness and IoT characteristics should assist them when integrating with other devices.
