Although the curtain has fallen on the 6th China International Import Expo, the stories of the Expo continue. This year, SoftBank Robotics remains committed to the philosophy of creating technological innovations for human happiness, actively developing robot technology, and striving for innovation, bringing a variety of application scenario experiences such as large language models, smart elder care, VR, and smart cleaning.
Through this participation, not only were in-depth exchanges and collaborations established with many partners, but also a deeper understanding of the market's potential and development prospects was gained.
Pepper Robot
Intelligence, Efficiency, Cutting-edge, Exploration

Popular Pepper
With the support of a large language model, Pepper transforms into a walking encyclopedia. On site, Pepper engages in natural conversations and is able to provide timely answers to various questions.
As large language models gradually integrate into daily life, people's understanding and expectations of artificial intelligence have deepened. This integration has enhanced and expanded Pepper's natural language understanding, personalized communication skills, and educational applications, demonstrating the boundless potential of human-computer interaction.

With its exceptional openness, Pepper has the capability to interface with various artificial intelligence technologies. At this year's Import Expo, Pepper robots, through intelligent interconnection with IoT devices such as Omron blood pressure monitors, introduced a new experience in health monitoring, opening up a new path for vital sign monitoring. Pepper can not only monitor various health indicators and promptly identify abnormal indicators for early warning but also provide personalized health advice based on individual health conditions, thereby offering comprehensive scientific care!
As the aging population intensifies, the demand related to elder care is growing, becoming a topic of common concern in society. In this regard, SoftBank Robotics has never ceased its exploration. In fact, Pepper robots have already been deployed in multiple overseas elder care institutions, acting as assistants to provide help for staff and the elderly. This integration with IoT devices represents a further expansion of Pepper's services in elder care.

Pepper also partnered with VR, allowing visitors on site to experience a unique robot perspective by donning VR goggles. Previously, the combination of Pepper and VR was used in the treatment of autism. Autism therapists could wear VR to demonstrate emotions, and Pepper, connected to VR equipment, could accurately replicate the therapist's movements through flexible body language. In the future, Pepper + VR will undoubtedly unlock more possibilities for human-machine collaboration.

Order-taker Pepper

During the Import Expo, Pepper also made an appearance at the Bright Food Group exhibition area, presenting a spectacular human-robot dance performance. The flexible and varied dance moves captured the attention of the audience on site, instantly igniting the atmosphere!
Pepper also transformed into a smart order-taker, able to smoothly complete the ordering process through language and tablet interaction, delivering delicious food right to everyone's side!
NAO Robot
Bipedal, Agile, Scientific, Intelligent

The NAO robot also attracted a lot of attention at the exhibition site, showcasing its superb skills in intelligent path planning through a maze game. The NAO robot can challenge the task of navigating a maze, fully demonstrating its capabilities in autonomous navigation, environmental perception and adaptation, and efficient path planning. These features are achieved based on positioning models, path planning algorithms, and image processing technologies in robot technology. At the same time, this is an important step towards tracking future intelligent navigation!
Whiz Smart Cleaning
Safe, Clean, Efficient, Guardian
The steady Whiz robot demonstrates the prowess of a cleaning expert, becoming the go-to choice for commercial cleaning solutions. Equipped with an advanced AI navigation system, Whiz can effortlessly bring a clean environment, significantly reducing labor consumption. Additionally, with the disinfection plug-in Gambit and quaternary ammonium disinfectant, Whiz can effectively eliminate hidden dangers in the environment. Furthermore, the antimicrobial film helps resist bacterial contamination on surfaces, ensuring a safe and healthy environment.
At the Import Expo, in addition to product displays, SoftBank Robotics also engaged in extensive exchanges with numerous upstream and downstream industry partners. These interactions and collaborations will provide SoftBank Robotics with more opportunities and resources for expansion in the Chinese market.
Moreover, through participating in the Import Expo, SoftBank Robotics gained a deeper understanding of the potential and development prospects of the Chinese market. As the world's largest manufacturing country, China boasts a vast market demand and abundant human resources (attention to the SoftBank Robotics Management Trainee Recruitment Program:We are Hiring | 软银机器人中国 2024 管培生计划现已开启招募!)。The Chinese government has been committed to promoting the development of intelligent manufacturing and artificial intelligence, providing a favorable policy environment and market opportunities for the smart robot industry. Through its participation in the Import Expo, SoftBank Robotics gained a deep understanding of the market demands and development trends in China, providing important references and guidance for its expansion in the Chinese market.
For SoftBank Robotics, participating in the 6th China International Import Expo was a fruitful event. It also gained a deeper understanding of the potential and development prospects of the Chinese market. SoftBank Robotics will actively develop robot technology and work together to advance the development of the intelligent robot industry. Looking forward to meeting you at the 7th Import Expo next year!
