Sanbot is an intelligent, cloud-enabled service robot[2] developed by Qihan Technology Co. Ltd., a robotics and AI company headquartered Shennan, China.[3] The platform robot is a Hardware-App-Cloud service combined three-in-one customized open system, which offers directional solutions for home and commercial users in Education, Healthcare, Retail, Hospitality, Security areas.[1][4][5][6] Sanbot was released at the IFA 2016 in Berlin.[7][8] Sanbot is currently being used by several airports, hospital including Gongbei Port of Entry, Macau International Airport and Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport for security purpose.[9][10][11]

Design & development

Sanbot in 2016

It is designed to be used for a multitude of roles, including housekeeping, teaching, waiting and security.[12] It can answer programmed questions in 28 languages and transfer people to a human operator.[4][13] It uses a Microsoft Kinect-style tracking system and HD camera. Sanbot has a number of LEDs for facial features and an HD projector, a 3D camera in its head, while a touchscreen, infrared sensors and Subwoofers are dotted over its body.[7][14][15]

A matrix design of 360 wrap-around perception that utilizes more than 60 sensors gives Sanbot better than human-like awareness. The robot is capacity of Voice Interaction, Facial Recognition, Voice Localization, Video Chat, Obstacle Avoidance and Auto charging, giving users feeling of Magic Audio-visual.[16][17][18]

Development history

Sanbot utilizes next-generation robotics and artificial intelligent (AI) technologies[19] both in design and manufacture. It has an open API platform[1][20] which enables developers to program the robot with customized Android applications for their business.[21]
