At the Wuxi Beidou Space Information Digital Industry Demonstration Park, the 1.74-meter-tall "Xiaomi" robot guides visitors through the exhibition circuit. Its aircraft-grade aluminum frame and carbon fiber body, equipped with 350N·m high-torque joints, not only enable human-like movements like bowing and gesture guidance, but also demonstrates how to operate exhibits using its 7-DOF robotic arm and 11-DOF dexterous hands. This is the core breakthrough of the Magic Atom intelligent tour guide solution: millisecond-level synchronization of motion, voice, and exhibit equipment, achieving a world-first in seamlessly integrating the entire tour process.
Technically, "Xiaomi" utilizes a three-tiered architecture: perception, decision-making, and execution. It creates environmental mapping within seconds, navigates with centimeter-level navigation and obstacle avoidance to accommodate complex crowd flows, and utilizes a library of 160 sound patterns to support dialect-level interaction. A large, continuously updated model knowledge base provides in-depth interpretation of exhibits. Even more noteworthy is its ready-to-use deployment capability. Through a visual app, users can customize explanation scripts, action combinations, and even remotely control battery swaps (with a five-hour battery life and fast swapping) with a single click, lowering the barrier to entry for implementation.
"We're not just showcasing robots in exhibition halls; we want robots to become mobile carriers of knowledge," said Wu Changzheng, President of Magic Atom. The solution has been validated in four locations, including the Wuxi Low-Altitude Economy Exhibition Center and the Nanjing Unicom IoT Experience Center, with a single robot serving over 200 people daily. In conjunction with the Thousand Scenes Co-creation Initiative, the company is collaborating with over 20 leading companies in the automotive and semiconductor sectors to explore niche scenarios such as industrial tours and VIP customization, with an expected deployment of 400 humanoid robots within the year.
This product, with 90% in-house hardware, is not only a functional upgrade for service robots but also marks a key step in the transition of embodied intelligence from the laboratory to commercialization. As "Xiaomi" smoothly switches between Mandarin and Wu dialect for explanations at the Wuzhong District Cultural Center in Suzhou, Chinese intelligent manufacturing is ushering in a new paradigm of human-robot collaboration with tangible warmth.
