According to 36Kr, Shanghai Luobo Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd., founded by Sun Zhaozhi, the former head of product design at Xiaopeng Robotics, recently announced the successful completion of its angel round financing at the level of tens of millions of RMB, with funds primarily from industry investors.
It is understood that Luobo Intelligence was established in January 2024, focusing on the field of AI companion robots. Its first product is positioned as an "AI trendy play" and has completed the design and development of the first three rounds of prototypes, with plans to officially launch and mass-produce next year.
Sun Zhaozhi previously served as the head of interior design at Xiaopeng Motors and as the product head in Didi Chuxing's car-making project, bringing a wealth of experience in user experience design and industrial design. He noted that with the rapid development of AI large-model technology, the field of AI companionship has become a hot area of interest for many entrepreneurs, especially in addressing the emotional companionship needs of young female users. Currently, popular companion products like "Tamagotchi" in the market primarily cater to female users, which further clarifies Luobo Intelligence's target market.
Luobo Intelligence's AI companion robots will cater to both desktop and wearable scenarios, featuring hardware designs with multiple degrees of motion freedom for lively interactions with users. Additionally, the product includes basic functions such as emotion recognition and information memory, and optimizes real-time audio-visual interaction using multi-modal large-model technology, addressing latency issues and introducing innovative features like long-term memory and autonomous learning.
