With the rapid iteration of artificial intelligence technology, smart home, whole-house intelligence, and intelligent companionship have become the core development directions of the home furnishing industry. Traditional smart home products can no longer meet the diversified, emotional, and intelligent needs of consumers. Bionic robots with interactive, service, security, and companionship functions are gradually entering mass households.
Recently, the Vbot robot dog, which focuses on full-scenario home applications, will officially open its first store in Central China in Wuhan.
The launch of this store will focus on home users in the four provinces of Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, and Henan in Central China. In the form of physical experience, the citizens of Central China can experience the new smart home experience brought by the four-legged intelligent robot dog at close range. At the same time, the product will be open to sales and cooperation in the national and global home markets simultaneously, leading the new trend of smart home companionship.
In Central China, the level of urbanization continues to improve, and urban residents have increasing demands for quality of life, home safety, and emotional companionship.
In core cities in Central China such as Wuhan, Changsha, Nanchang, and Zhengzhou, there is a large group of young office workers, and the number of young people living alone and dual-income families is increasing year by year. At the same time, the regional aging process is advancing steadily, and home care for elderly people living alone and empty-nest elderly people has become a focus of social and people’s livelihood. In addition, the new generation of parents pay more and more attention to the quality education and fun companionship of their children, and reject the impact of single electronic products on their children.
The superposition of multiple market demands has made intelligent bionic robot dogs with multiple functions of companionship, security, entertainment, and early childhood education become a new popular product in the smart home track.
The Vbot robot dog is an all-round household quadruped robot tailored to meet the diverse needs of home users in Central China. It is also the core product promoted by the first store in Central China.
In an interview, the person in charge of Wuhan Jiangnanbei Robot dismantled the core functions and design concepts of the Vbot robot dog from the perspective of home use scenarios.
This product abandons the shortcomings of traditional toy robot dogs with single functions and poor practicality. It is positioned as an “all-round family assistant” and integrates five core technologies: quadruped bionic motion, AI intelligent interaction, environmental perception, load transfer, and remote linkage. It is suitable for various types of flats, duplexes, villas, ordinary apartments, etc., covering family members of all ages including the elderly, young people, and children.
In terms of hardware design, the robot dog’s body is made of lightweight and high-strength materials, which has low operating noise and smooth walking, without causing interference to the home environment. Its limb movements have been debugged thousands of times in home scenes, and can smoothly cross common obstacles such as indoor carpets, thresholds, slippers, and go up and down household steps smoothly, fully adapting to complex indoor home environments.
The equipment can stably carry 10KG of materials, which is enough to carry small materials such as express delivery, fruits and vegetables, and daily necessities commonly used at home, enabling autonomous transportation of indoor items and freeing users’ hands.
Aiming at young people living alone and dual-income families, which are the mainstream family groups in Central China, Vbot robot dog focuses on three major functions: intelligent security, remote care, and leisure and entertainment.
For office workers who often work overtime and travel for business, home safety is their primary concern.
The Vbot robot dog is equipped with a high-definition vision camera and a mobile cruise system. When the user is out, the user can remotely control the robot dog through the mobile APP to patrol the whole house and view indoor images in real time. Once hidden dangers such as open doors and windows, piles of debris, suspected water leakage and electricity leakage are found, the device will automatically capture the image and push early warning information to achieve 24-hour mobile security.
In daily life at home, the robot dog can be used as an entertainment companion, supporting functions such as voice requesting songs, fun quizzes, stunt performances, interactive games, etc. After a busy day, users can interact with the robot dog to relax and unwind.
When it comes to express delivery or takeout delivery, the robot dog can go to the door to pick up small items, and use the load capacity to transfer the materials to designated locations indoors, greatly improving the convenience of home life.
For elderly families and elderly people living alone, home companionship, emergency rescue, and health reminders have become the core service capabilities of Vbot robot dogs. It is also an effective technological solution to solve the problem of elderly care and companionship in Central China.
The robot dog is equipped with a human body sensing module and a fall detection algorithm, which can accurately identify abnormal conditions such as the elderly falling and sitting still for a long time. Once an early warning is triggered, the device will immediately send out a local audible and visual alarm, and at the same time push an alarm message to family members’ mobile phones and emergency contacts, linking rescue as soon as possible.
In terms of daily companionship, the AI voice interaction system supports customized services such as voice chat, opera playback, weather reports, medication reminders, work and rest reminders, etc. The elderly do not need to manually operate the mobile phone. They only need to give voice instructions to complete various operations. The operation threshold is extremely low, adapting to the usage habits of the elderly group.
In addition, the device has built-in environmental sensors that monitor indoor smoke, gas concentration, temperature and humidity in real time. If dangerous conditions such as gas leakage and excessive smoke are detected, an alarm will be issued immediately to protect the safety of the elderly at home.
In Hunan, Henan, Jiangxi and other cities in central China with a high degree of aging, this intelligent companion robot dog has attracted the attention of many elderly care institutions and community elderly care service centers. Some communities have consulted in advance about bulk purchase and scene implementation plans.
Aimed at families of three and multi-child families with underage children, Vbot robot dog focuses on three major directions: fun early education, popular science enlightenment, and parent-child interaction, becoming a child’s “intelligent growth partner.”
Different from electronic products such as tablets and mobile phones, the four-legged bionic robot dog has physical interactive properties. Children can touch and guide the robot dog to complete actions, and exercise their hands-on and thinking abilities during the interaction.
The device has built-in a large amount of children’s popular science knowledge, Chinese culture content, picture books and stories, and interesting encyclopedias. It explains knowledge to children through voice interaction, saying goodbye to rigid book preaching. It also supports simple programming control, and parents can accompany their children to learn basic robot programming, cultivating children’s scientific interests and logical thinking abilities during parent-child interaction.
Considering the safety of children, the product is equipped with safety modes such as speed limit, anti-collision protection, and volume adjustment. Parents can uniformly control the device functions through the mobile APP, allowing children to enjoy technological fun safely and healthily.
In addition to indoor full-scenario home applications, the Vbot robot dog can also be used in outdoor home scenarios such as courtyards and residential courtyards.
The robot dog has excellent adaptability to outdoor terrain. It can walk freely on community trails and courtyard lawns, accompany family members on outdoor walks, and at the same time continuously monitor the surrounding environment, expanding the boundaries of usage scenarios.
The retail price of this robot dog is 12,988 yuan. It is positioned as a mid-to-high-end smart home equipment. Compared with similar four-legged robot dog products, it has obvious advantages in function richness, sports performance, and load capacity.
This time, the first store in Central China was launched in Wuhan. The store has specially created a 1:1 real-life home experience area, replicating the three mainstream home scenes of ordinary apartments, duplex residences, and retirement homes. Consumers can experience all the functions of the robot dog such as cruising, accompanying, interacting, and transferring on site.
At the same time, the store is equipped with professional product consultants to provide personalized function setting suggestions and usage plans for different family structures and different usage needs.
In terms of services, all purchasing users in Central China can enjoy local on-site installation, functional debugging, one-year warranty, and lifetime remote technical support services to solve consumers’ worries.
The person in charge of Jiangnan North Robots said that Central China is one of the core markets for smart home consumption in China, and the four provinces of Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, and Henan have huge potential for household consumption.
After the opening of the first store in Central China, the team will take Wuhan as the center and gradually carry out offline experience tours and community experience activities in key cities in Central China such as Changsha, Nanchang, and Zhengzhou, so that more citizens in Central China can understand and experience the Vbot robot dog.
At the same time, the company recruits offline dealers, community partners, and smart home store partners across the country, relying on the model effect of the Central China store to promote product coverage in the household market in major cities across the country.
In overseas markets, the company has connected with smart home agents in many countries and gradually introduced this home smart robot dog to families around the world.
Smart home industry experts in the industry said that the current smart home has entered a new stage of “whole-house linkage + robot service” from “single product intelligence”. As a mobile smart terminal, the four-legged bionic robot dog is an important development direction of future home smart equipment.
The Vbot robot dog has accurately entered the home care track, and its functions meet people’s livelihood needs. It coincides with the upgrading of smart homes in Central China. The opening of the first store in Central China is expected to promote the popularization of smart home companion robots in Central China and inject new vitality into the development of the regional smart home industry.
For citizens in Central China who want to experience the product, with the official operation of offline stores, this Vbot robot dog, which integrates companionship, security, entertainment, and early education, will surely become a new intelligent partner for thousands of families in Central China.
