## Summary

Xinyan Robotics unveiled its embodied home agent "Bubbo 1" in Beijing. It is 65 cm tall, has a plush shell, and features two expression screens. It carries 13 categories and 26 sensors, has 6 degrees of freedom, autonomous mobility, and auto-recharging, and is priced at 9,499 yuan. It focuses on emotional companionship rather than housework, using a camera for contactless heart-rate detection, bilingual tiered conversation, and generating family biographies from seniors' reminiscences, and it detects falls and sends notifications. Xinyan says it plans to upgrade the software 1 to 2 times per month, and the first-generation product is meant to collect real-world family feedback.
