Described as one of China’s creative innovations, the Xibot which comes with a small body, large round face and cat-like ears, shares its feelings with other family members and was a hit when originally exhibited at the 2016 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas in January.

Xibot interacts with its owner in a number of innovative ways, for example gently waking them up in the morning, filling them in on the latest weather forecast and reminding them of the important things they need to do that day.

Her voice-activated command function also responds directly to questions and when the owner is away, Xibot will monitor the house. Using front and back 1080p cameras and a built-in WiFi, she can be remotely controlled as a moving monitor anywhere and anytime.

Xibot is also great at parties. Ask her to take a picture and she will capture every smiling face. The photos can also be sent to the user’s chosen social network, which allows family and friends to instantly share the happiness. She will also make you laugh as you relive the good times.

Designed by a team at Xiaoxi Technology that has over 10 years’ experience in software and hardware development, Xibot is a loyal friend and smart family member that makes life that bit more convenient.
