Editor: Jiaqi

The 2024 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES), a weathervane event in the technology world, has just concluded. As the world's most anticipated technology event, CES attracts more than 4,000 cutting-edge technology companies from more than 150 countries and regions. Various brands showed off their most advanced technologies and products. Nvidia’s AI PC layout, Intel’s latest 14th generation processor,The Rabbit R1 sold out 30,000 units in 3 days after its release..... . This year’s CES witnessed hundreds of millions of new changes taking place.

#More than 130,000 participants attended the event and experienced the shock of "black technology brought into reality". In the CES exhibition hall, robots are always the most eye-catching focus. Among them, there are several innovative and forward-looking robots that are particularly worthy of attention. Let’s take a look.

# Is it too laborious to go down the stairs to get takeout? Mobinn will take action

The first is Mobinn, which won the "Innovation Award" in the robotics category at CES 2024. It can go up and down stairs freely and deliver takeout directly to you.

While the concept of the "last mile" of home delivery is not new, Mobinn has some special tricks for climbing stairs, with wheels made of lightweight rubber and a The self-leveling box can keep the carried objects balanced, so it can carry drinks and food without spilling out of the container, which perfectly overcomes the bumps of going up and down stairs.

Perhaps after owning Mobinn, we don’t even have to go to the takeout counter to pick up food. When we open the door, we can have the attentive service of feeding food directly to our mouths.

##At the same time, it is equipped with a lidar-based vision system With autonomous driving navigation systems, delivery is not limited by time and space. Even if you want to eat takeout in the middle of the night in the wilderness, at Mobinn, problems such as the delivery boy not being able to find his way and being suspended from taking orders after service hours will become a thing of the past.

In April last year, Mobinn robot cooperated with South Korea’s convenience store chain CU to conduct a trial operation in an apartment building in Gyeonggi Province. The average time it takes Mobinn to complete an order is 11 minutes, which is nearly 20 minutes faster than manual delivery.
Mobinn robot is the research and development result of Korean startup MOBility INNovation. MOBility INNovation began as a division of Hyundai Group.

#In December 2022, it became independent from Hyundai Group and became a company focused on developing commercialized autonomous navigation outdoor delivery robots. Currently, MOBility INNovation has received multiple investments including the Korean government and Nautilus Investment, and plans to further expand its influence in the global market.

"Robot Guide Dog" Glide: Achieve freedom of walking for the visually impaired

Glidance, which won the 2023 RoboBusiness PitchFire competition, also won the "Innovation Award" in the robotics category at CES 2024 for its guide robot Glide.

Glide can help the visually impaired just like a guide dog. It integrates cutting-edge sensors for navigation and obstacle avoidance, sending instructions to the user via haptics and audio on the handle.

Since the guiding method of guide dogs is to drag the owner, this method may sometimes cause the owner to lose control of the lead rope, causing danger. In contrast, Glide's design is more user-friendly. It does not actively pull the user, but responds based on the user's actions, ensuring that the user maintains control and initiative during navigation.

At the same time, guide dogs only know the roads in a relatively familiar environment. Once they come to an unfamiliar area, it is difficult for the guide dog to provide navigation. Glide expands for the visually impaired group provides a broader space for action.

In January 2023, Amos Miller and Mike Sinclair founded Glidance. Amos Miller, who gradually became blind from a genetic disease in his 20s, worked as a product director at Microsoft where he helped develop Soundscape, a leading navigation app for the blind. Inspired by his own personal experience, he founded Glidance, aiming to develop affordable, simple and convenient products that use robotic technology to allow the visually impaired to gain "freedom of walking." Glide is expected to start shipping later this year

Yushu Technology’s H1 shines in the audience

At the venue, two humanoid robots from Chinese companies attracted the attention of the audience. These two robots are also regarded as comprehensive competitors to Tesla Optimus.

The first one is the Kepler Forerunner K1 (hereinafter referred to as: K1), which debuted at CES 2024. This robot was developed by domestic newcomer KEPLER.

Judging from the information released on the product official website, K1’s hand has 5 fingers and 12 degrees of freedom. It can sense and gently grasp objects, imitating human hands. Ministry's actions. Its arms and legs are equipped with proprietary actuators that can deliver up to 1,798 pounds of thrust.

Kepler co-founder Debo Hu said in an interview: "Kepler Le is committed to revolutionizing productivity through cutting-edge technology and accelerating the arrival of the three-day work week. This change will allow humans to devote more time to more meaningful undertakings such as exploring space."

After three years of research and development, K1 is expected to be mass-produced and shipped in the third quarter of 2024, priced at approximately US$30,000, slightly higher than the Tesla, which is expected to sell for US$20,000 Optimus.

However, some robot bloggers pointed out that this suddenly budding domestic rookie company is suspected of plagiarism. Not only the appearance of the product is similar to Tesla Optimus, but even the design of the joint structure is very similar. Similarly, even the product's promotional video is full of "imitation" Tesla atmosphere.
