﻿TOP 5 Chinese Female Humanoid Robots 2022 Robots come in many shapes and sizes. But,
perhaps, the most intriguing, endearing, relatable and acceptable are the ones that resemble us,
humans. For example, a field hospital staffed by robots—the Smart Field Hospital—opened in Wuhan,
China, in early March. There, humanoid robots—donated by CloudMinds Technology,
a Silicon Valley company—disinfect, measure temperatures, deliver food and medicine,
and entertain medical staff and patients. Hi! My name is Alex and welcome to Al News Daily.
In this video, we will be looking at the top 5 Chinese female humanoid robots
2022. Don't forget to subscribe and turn on the notifications. Let's get started!
Number 5. Nadine Imagine you are talking to a customer
service agent. Obviously, you assumed that this agent is a human being. Well, your assumption
might be wrong! You could be talking to Nadine, which is the most humanoid robot in the world!
And you could be forgiven for thinking that Nadine is a human as she has a human-looking body with
lifelike features. She can even recognize you from previous visits, make eye contact, shake
your hand, continue chatting based on previous meetings, etc. Nadine was developed by Kokoro
Japan with her software platform developed at the Nanyang Technological University in Singapore.
She is currently working as a customer service agent at AIA Singapore (an insurance company).
Nadine was developed using cutting edge robotics technology to simulate human behavior.
She has 3D depths cameras, a microphone, and a webcam to gather visual and audio inputs. Then
there are various perception layers that process these inputs to recognize different faces,
gestures, emotions, behavior, etc. and then respond accordingly. Nadine also had inbuilt
chatbots that allow her to handle different queries and a memory model that remembers
different users and conversations with them. In addition to all this, Nadine can also converse in
6 languages, namely English, German, French, Chinese, Hindi, and Japanese. So you won’t
have any problems talking to her! For facial expressions and upper body motions, Nadine has
a total of 27 degrees of independence. When it comes to people it has met before, it recalls
details and events about each of them. It can read stories, display videos, hold Skype sessions,
send emails, and connect with other family members to help people with special needs.
It can work as a receptionist in an office or be committed to serving as a personal coach.
To collect visual and audio inputs, she has 3D depth cameras, a microphone, and a webcam.
Number 4. Sophia Did you think only humans could obtain
citizenship in a country? Well, that’s not true now! Sophia, a humanoid robot developed by Hong
Kong based company Hanson Robotics, was the first robot ever to be given citizenship of any country.
Sofia is now officially a Saudi Arab citizen! And she is an extremely popular robot! She was
developed to look like Audrey Hepburn, a famous Hollywood actress and has appeared in various
interviews with the United Nations, Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon in America, British Broadcasting
Company, etc. Mr. Hanson, the creator of Sophia believes that she will be a perfect fit as an old
age companion in nursing homes, a crowd manager in large events or parks, etc. In short, he hopes
Sophia can ultimately gain enough social skills to interact convincingly with human beings.
These capabilities are embedded in Sophia using neural networks, expert robotic systems,
natural language processing, machine perception, motor control, etc.
She uses Machine Perception to recognize human faces, understand different emotional
expressions and hand gestures. Then various path planning algorithms are used to control her hands,
eyes, legs, etc. Sophia uses natural language processing to interact with different people
and respond correctly (Which is very helpful in interviews!) All of these interactions are
stored on a cloud network which allows easy analysis of conversations using blockchain
technology. Sophia can see thanks to cameras embedded in her eyes and computer algorithms.
She can keep track of people’s faces, maintain eye contact, and remember them. A natural language
subsystem allows her to process speech and have conversations. Sophia was given usable legs and
the ability to walk in January of 2018. Number 3. Sanbot
An artificial intelligence-powered humanoid robot, the Sanbot, has been used for years now by customs
workers at the Gongbei Port of Entry in China. Since October of 2016, officials have been using
50 Sanbot units in order to ensure improve security, efficiency and customer experience
at the busy immigration and customs terminal between Macau and mainland China. In 2013,
more than 99 million people were apparently processed through the border terminal. Designed
and built by the Chinese CCTV surveillance equipment manufacturer QIHAN Technology Company,
Sanbots are service robots powered by a cloud-enabled app ecosystem designed
to be deployed in a wide variety of settings including retail stores, schools and hospitals.
The company calls this “Robotics-as-a-service”. It’s precisely the Sanbot cloud platform that
makes it unique, according to QIHAN. This is the technology that enables customs
officials at Gongbei to equip their units with the functionality to answer passengers’ questions in
28 different languages, perform facial recognition to help detect potential security threats,
and alert human workers of questions and tasks beyond its capabilities.
The robot supposedly uses a set of AI algorithms to deliver personalized communications. At Gongbei
Port of Entry, the robots have been programmed to respond to over 3,000 commonly asked
questions and provide guidance on local laws and regulations to those traveling across the border.
“With thousands of travelers passing through each day, Gongbei Customs is
always looking for new solutions to help us ensure that service is fast and our borders
remain secure – Sanbot fit that mold perfectly,” said Zhao Min, director of Gongbei Customs.
Number 2. Han A humanoid robot able to recognise and interact
with people has been demoed at an electronics fair in Hong Kong. The robot head, called Han,
uses an array of cameras and voice recognition technology to 'see' people and have conversations
with them. When paired with a mobile app Han can engage in basic conversations and go through a
range of complex facial expressions. About forty motors control his artificial facial muscles,
Hanson Robotics told Reuters. The face is covered in a soft, flesh-like rubber known as 'frubber',
allowing it to move in a human-like way. Not only can Han detect people, it can also
recognise their gender, age and whether they are happy or sad. Its developers said it could
find a use in hotels and other customer service businesses. The humanoid robot is just a head,
with its see-through chest showing off a plethora of wires being fed into its 'brain'.
Han isn't the first humanoid robot from Hanson Robotics. Previous models include
a robotic version of American author Philip K Dick and a humanoid Albert Einstein robot,
developed in collaboration with South Korean robotics firm KAIST. Hanson Robotics will use
the technology developed for Han on a different face, a Eurasian female called Eva, the sale date
and price is yet to be announced. Number 1. Jia Jia
Guess who is called the Robot Goddess of China?! Its Jia Jia, a humanoid robot developed by a team
from the University of Science and Technology of China. Jia Jia is considered the most beautiful
woman in China and this effect is only increased by the fact that she can talk to people and reply
accordingly. While her speech patterns are still not smooth enough, Jia Jia makes up for it by
looking remarkably human-like because of her eye movements and speech-lip synchronization.
However, a weird thing is that she addresses her creators as “my lord”,
which might just be a Chinese cultural addition! Jia Jia has such realistic expressions as special
emphasis was given to her “eyes” so that she can catch different gestures, emotions, behavior,
etc. and then respond accordingly. She also has speech-generation algorithms that allow her to
hold a conversation with humans and facial recognition technology that makes it easy
to track different faces in a room. Using these technologies, Jia Jia was even able to tell when
photographers were taking unflattering pictures, and telling them not to make her face look fat
on the camera. And so, creators of Jia Jia hope that with time, her interactions will gradually
become even more “human” and less robot-like. Able to respond to facial expressions with her
own micro-level movements during conversations in both Chinese and English, Jiajia is the result of
integrating technologies for cognitive modelling, semantic understanding, automated reasoning and
planning, knowledge acquisition, kinematics and cloud robotics. These technologies have
been studied in the Kejia Robotics project by Chen Xiaoping’s laboratory at USTC.
The award-winning development team has received many international accolades, including first
places at the popular RoboCup world championship, and the IJCAI Robotics competition. The Jiajia
project is just one aspect of the computer science and information engineering programmes at USTC,
which use high-performance computing to develop intelligent technologies. Another group is working
on a ‘smart bed’ to monitor motion and vital signs at the Laboratory for Intelligent Networking and
Knowledge Engineering, led by Li Xiangyang. With that, we come to the end of this video.
