Practicing the thought of “Robotics-as-a-Service”, QIHAN Technology never stops the research and development of robotics. Days before September, QIHAN team has set off and brought its new product and robotic solutions to the 2017 IFA Expo.

QIHAN Technology released home service robot, powered by Amazon Alexa.

The first highlight was QIHAN Technology launched the new generation intelligent service robot - Sanbot Nano. Sanbot Nano is QIHAN’s new AI-powered service robot designed for the home. The intelligent, cloud-enabled robot features Amazon’s Alexa Voice Service and it is the first and only successful Alexa-powered home robot in the markets till now.

Sanbot Nano inherits many of Sanbot Elf’s popular features including the Android SDK, Sanbot App Store, smart home connectivity and automatic charging. What’s more, Sanbot Nano is also designed to fulfill Qihan’s “Robotics-as-a-Service” model, and offers a unique proprietary tri-polar system architecture comprising the robot, private cloud and the Q-Link mobile application. In terms of major differences, Sanbot Nano supports a smaller form factor design (2.7 feet) and new voice assistance powered by Amazon’s Alexa Voice Service, while Sanbot Elf’s voice interaction is powered by IBM Watson and Nuance.

Sanbot Nano is capable of voice communication, smart home control and remote surveillance. It is easy for each family member to operate. What you need to do is to ask or give voice demand such as “Sanbot, I’d like to order pizza”, “Sanbot, turn on the TV” or “Sanbot, play music”, etc. With the mobile APP Q-Link, the family members are able to control Sanbot Nano to monitor each corner of your home from anywhere in the world.

Powered by Amazon Alexa, Sanbot Nano can only speak and recognize English language right now and the intelligent home service robot is mainly to be sold for families and distributors in the United States, United Kingdom and Germany. Of course, more English-speaking countries & areas are welcome if Sanbot Nano has the chance.
