(Berlin – Sept. 1, 2016) – UBTECH ROBOTICS CORP, leader in the intelligent consumer robot industry, today announced the introduction of its breakthrough range of Jimu Robot building kits at IFA 2016. The range includes 5 robot different kits: Jimu Mini Kit, MeeBot Kit, KarBot Kit, Explorer Kit and Inventor Kit. The company will also exhibit Alpha 2, the first intelligent humanoid robot for the family, and the Alpha 1 Robot.

“We launched Jimu MeeBot Kit and Animal Add-On Kit at Apple Stores worldwide in July of this year and received an overwhelming response. We are very excited to introduce the entire Jimu Robot family to the world at IFA,” says UBTECH ROBOTICS CORP COO Warren Wang. “Jimu Robot is the only Robotic Building System that anyone can easily BUILD into specific models or your own creations, PROGRAM and code to move in life-like way with any iOS or Android device, and then SHARE their creations in the Jimu Robot Global Community.”

The Jimu Robot system is the first robotics line that allows the user to design, build and program their very own robot, as well as share and access an unlimited number of Jimu robot designs and programming options through an online global robotics community on the Jimu Robot app, available on the App Store. All models are expected to hit markets in the Europe in time for the holiday shopping season.

Alpha 1 Pro is a household programmable humanoid robot that can be used for education and entertainment. The robot’s body is made of eco-friendly ABS plastics, so it looks great, feels great, and is shock resistant. Driven by the powerful built-in system of robotic “servo” motors, Alpha 1 Pro operates with high-precision, delivering realistic, lifelike flexibility of body movement for endless family entertainment at home. Additionally, its 3D visual programming PC software and PRP(Pose, Record, and Playback) function support complete beginners and advanced programmers that can help children to enhance ability of logical thinking and operation.

Alpha 2 is a family robot that engages in and accomplishes a wide range of typical household tasks, including managing weekly calendars with verbal reminders for scheduled tasks, performing home security monitoring and alerts, and following verbal instructions. Additionally, Alpha 2 has 20 joints with robotic servo motors that simulate human movement, with the widest range of motion of any consumer robot currently available.

It is UBTECH’s outstanding creativity that has led to this incredible technological innovation. The company’s mission is to create intelligent robots that can interact with and serve people, in turn creating a more intellectual and human-friendly way of life.
