{Disarmed} An autonomous pony robot for children to interact and ride on: this is Little White Dragon
With cute-looking robots like Sony's Aibo puppy, the haunting valley is more of a path of butterflies and spring colors toward bonding with a robot-pet, especially in the case of children . And this idea seems to have supported those of XPeng Robotics for the creation of their pony robot for children , although it seems a mixture of several species.
Perhaps that is why the name of the product is Little White Dragon , and it goes beyond being caressed by its dimensions. It is a robot reminiscent of Spot from Boston Dynamics for its legs and body, but with a much friendlier and more colorful appearance, designed for children to interact and directly ride on it.
He runs, talks and "gets excited", and when the battery runs out he goes alone to the charging base
Maybe Xpeng sounds familiar to us and in fact we have talked about it in xiaomist.com. With an important division of electric cars , the house started Xpeng Robotics last year, a branch dedicated to intelligent robots. Little White Dragon is located in this work, which as explained in CNEvPost is oriented to be "a small intelligent vehicle for children . "
In xiaomist.com Robot Buying Guide For Kids: Best Models By AgeAs seen in the images and in the video of its announcement, Little White Dragon does not exactly recall something we have seen in 'Game of Thrones' or in some other fictional series in which these beings appear, but rather it is something between a big dog and a pony , Xpeng opting for the little equid to describe it. Maybe even the unicorn that Doraemon would have.
Little White Dragon has sensors to recognize its surroundings and to be able to move around, and according to Xpeng it can interact "emotionally". A capacity that they already attributed to previous robots, such as (the perhaps endangered) Pepper .
Among those sensors it has a LiDAR and has a series of cameras, so that a map can be created in a similar way to how many robot vacuum cleaners do. This way, it can autonomously draw routes avoiding obstacles, according to XPeng, and be a vehicle for young children (without specifying an age for now).
It has facial and voice recognition, being able to interact with it through audio commands. As usually happens with this type of robot, it has a screen that shows animations according to the response , which in this case would correspond to those "emotions" (also being a touch screen).
In the absence of knowing the price and the maximum load it can withstand, Little White Dragon is presented as an assistant robot that acts as a robotic pet that has been tried with previous robots such as the adorable Nicobo (which even came with "gases") . Little White Dragon can add accessories to charge the purchase or climb, but they have not disclosed the price and availability of them, so we will have to wait if the idea is to get one. Meanwhile, you can always try to get aXiaomi CyberDog , although its design is not exactly childish.
