AMY Robotics has launched its first robot product AMY A1, an intelligent mobile service robot characterized with social interaction, autonomous navigation, telepresence, face recognition and motion tracking that is powered by sophisticated AI technology and cloud computing. The robot is presented at the CES 2017 trade show in Las Vegas. She can understand speech and make conversation with people in noisy environment, recognize specific people and say hello to him/her, follow a person in front of her with command "Hello Amy, follow me" and move to a place autonomously by saying “Hello Amy, go to the kitchen with me” to her and more. She can perform a surprisingly wide variety of tasks.
At CES, AMY Robotics revealed the details of the SDK (software development kit) for the robot. The SDK enables new sophisticated skills, content, features to be created for different working scenarios , provide access to the data acquired by the raw sensor data, and much more. With the SDK, people literally without any knowledge of robotics can use this high-level software andadvanced robotics hardware in a simple but powerful way to create functional and useful robots applications that can provide valuable services use their creativity and programming skills.The beta version SDK of Amy has been sent to some partners from banks, hospitals, research institutes and smart home providers etc. The SDK and development platform will be announced in summer 2017.
AMY Robotics has successfully dealt with the some key technology of mobile service robot. The company is proud of the achievements in its low cost but sophisticated autonomous navigation system and socially human-robot interaction. Amy is able to move autonomously in complex and dynamic indoor environment with obstacle avoidance and adaptive path planning. She can understand the voice 5m distance from the source, even with a bit noise, and recognize the direction of voice source. These two are the most essential capabilities of a service robot.
Customize speech conversation without any programming language but text files.The SDK can be used in industries ranging from entertainment to academia. It allows developers access Amy`s capability blocks and hardware and create new applications :
Connect AMY to any number of third-party APIs like IFTTT, Flipboard, last.fm,recipes etc with hand free control use speech. Want to use IFTTT to turn down your smart lights via Amy? Record your health data with Amy? You can.
Ready to use SLAM system to create map of environment while localize itself.
Edit the behaviors and movements for dancing to music, autonomous patrol, wander around etc.
Access Amy`s inborn capabilities such as face and emotion recognition, motion detection and tracking, human following, take pictures, telepresence etc.
Access to all of the raw sensor data and motor unit if you want it.
AMY Robotics aims to popularize service robotics technologies to facilitate human beings. Developers from companies, universities and research institutes worldwide are all welcomed to join the community of Amy development. The possibilities are endless.
