"Qihan, a Chinese company focused on innovations in robotics, AI and video analysis, has just released a Multi-Service Platform System (MPS) for its Sanbot Robot that is unprecedented. The system actually enables businesses to manage hundreds of Sanbot robots from anywhere in the world through its cloud-enabled, centralized system that brings personalized communications services to companies worldwide via an intelligent, cloud-enabled humanoid robot.

"In November, a much cuter robot, called Sanbot was trialed in Gongbei Customs, a huge port on mainland China’s border with Macau. It can translate questions in 28 languages and uses a touchscreen, speakers and LEDs to communicate with the public."

"China-based Sanbot thats showcasing this cloud-enabled service robot, able to work in a variety of settings - from retail and hospitality, to education and healthcare."

"This Chinese robot is supposed to help out in the supermarket, offering advice to customers."

“Aesthetically Sanbot is a chunky little droid with a touchscreen running a Linux-based system perched below its head, from which long-lashed digital eyes blink. With arms like dolphin flippers that swing back and forth when she dances, the robot has plenty of charm.”

“Sanbot is Chinese firm Qihan’s new humanoid robot, launched at this week’s IFA conference. Sanbot can be used in conjunction with Qihan’s cloud system Q-Link while its API is open to all.”
