Sanbot Nano -- your intimate robot companion for your home

An imaginative people only thought possible if you were in Star Wars, The Jetsons, or Tony Stark renovated your house. Now, these types of homes are starting to take form.

AI companies are creating every kind of smart device and using IoT to lay the foundation for a smart home. Companies like Google, Apple, and Amazon have very sophisticated AI’s (Siri, Alexa, etc.). But what is the one missing element from a home with AI and smart home devices? A robot!

Every home from the future has a robot, and with the release of QIHAN Technology’s Sanbot Nano robot, you can now complete your smart home project by owning your very own smart home robot with Amazon Alexa Voice Service! Sanbot Nano is not just an intelligent humanoid robot to complete your smart home set, this robot will truly revolutionize the home and will make you wonder how you could not live without this robot.

Connecting all of your IoT devices: All of these smart devices are great, and they are very convenient, but there is one problem -- each one has their own App. Your speakers, refrigerator, lights, and so on, all have their own apps. Always having to locate a particular App to control the device can become tedious. Let Sanbot Nano, the new designed APP controlled robot take that frustration away from you.

Sanbot Nano comes with all of Amazon Alexa skills, plus an abundance of other robotic features specific to Sanbot Nano. Sanbot Nano can connect to all of your smart home devices and using the Sanbot mobile App, Q-Link, you can control all of your smart home devices with one App through Sanbot Nano. What a super practical!

Remote control: Sanbot Nano has excellent voice recognition software, which allows you to control Sanbot with only your voice. What happens if you are out of Sanbot’s range? Not to worry. Let Sanbot’s mobile APP Q-Link do it. Q-Link allows you to connect with your Sanbot robot and control it from wherever you are. You can control Sanbot’s apps, movements, input text to speech, and even have smart voice control. Just speak into the app a command, and Sanbot will obey. Q-Link will also let you see what Sanbot sees in real-time.

Remote Surveillance: It is tricky to remotely control Sanbot from anywhere if you cannot see where Sanbot is going. Not to worry. Using Q-Link, you can see what Sanot Nano sees through its HD camera in real-time. This is extremely helpful. What you need to do is take out your phone, open the Q-Link App, connect with your this advanced AI robot, and now you can move Sanbot to the kitchen and see if your stove is on or off. Simple and convenient, that is what Sanbot Nano is here for.

Meet Sanbot Nano – the first Alexa-powered companion robot wants to live in your smart home

Amazon’s Alexa and Google Assistant are perhaps best known as the attentive ears and dulcet tones inside the company’s range of products. The Alexa Voice Service (AVS), the voice-activated digital assistant, has shown up in a number of third-party devices, too.

With domestic robots striving to emerge from the pages of science fiction and take their place in our daily lives, it’s perhaps no surprise to learn that Alexa is finding its feet, so to speak, in the form of humanoids. At the IFA consumer electronics trade show in Berlin this week, China-based Qihan is debuting the Sanbot Nano, a 2.7-foot tall artificial intelligent robot for home with Alexa serving as its ears and brain.

Founded out of Shenzhen in 2006, Qihan works on a range of products across robotics, artificial intelligence (AI), data analysis, and other related services. The company already offers the Sanbot Elf, which has seen some traction in retail, hospitality, and other public service positions, and the enterprise-focused Sanbot King Kong. But with Sanbot Nano, Qihan is pushing this advanced AI robot into the smart home with a range of Alexa-enabled integrations, including home stereo systems, thermostats, and connected fans.

Through the accompanying mobile app Q-Link, users can see what the intelligent home robot is seeing remotely, and they can also monitor all devices they have connected to the Qihan Cloud. Sanbot Nano has 50 sensors installed to help it circumvent obstacles in its path and can recognize voices and detect when a person enters the room. Through its connection with Alexa, consumers can order a pizza, ask for their fitness stats, and maybe even turn on the TV or play some music.

“The world is captivated by the emergence of robotic developments and we’re constantly challenging ourselves to make the most amazing robot experiences possible,” explained Qihan CMO Ryan Wu. “With Sanbot Elf’s breakthrough growth in the retail, hospitality, public service, and government industries, we are excited to introduce an advanced humanoid robot for the home.”

It’s worth noting that this isn’t the first time someone’s attempted an Alexa-powered voice-activated robot. The Omate Yumi was announced last November, but nothing seems to have come of that, with the accompanying Indiegogo funding campaign seemingly pulled. UBTech also unveiled the charming little Alexa-enabled Lynx humanoid at CES this year, with an anticipated launch of spring 2017 — but the $800 robot is still not on the market.

With a number of companies raising big money to make domestic social companion robots a reality, Qihan’s Sanbot Nano could be one of the first intelligent service robotics to introduce one that’s powered by Amazon’s AI voice smarts. The Sanbot Nano only supports English (U.S. and U.K.) and German at present.
