UBTECH’s new UWORLD U1 looks like a runway model, talks like an AI assistant and costs about as much as a used Honda Civic.
So far, 13,000+ orders for the U1 series, which includes the “semi-torso U1 Lite” for $17,600. Or if you’ve got upward of $138,000 for full-body modelesque U1 Ultra, you get silicon skin, 88 degrees of freedom and an “emotion-aware” LLM. Oh dear.
It’s pitched for companionship, elder care, hospitality and premium domestic service, which sounds nice until your robot butler asks if you’re mad at it.
They look so real.
RoboCop, Optimus Prime and the Terminator start a band. RoboCop calls Beethoven. Optimus grabs Mozart. Terminator stands up and says, “I’ll be Bach.”
