Imagine robots that not only tackle practical tasks but also charm you with their playful personalities and endearing expressions. At CES 2024, Enchanted Tools introduced the U.S. to just such a pair – Miroka and Miroki, the dynamic duo captivating Eureka Park Booth #60801.
These 3.3-foot wonders blend top-tier engineering, animation, and storytelling to revolutionize healthcare, hospitality, travel, and customer-centric industries. They’re more than just machines; they’re companions equipped with:
- Advanced AI Navigation & Manipulation: These robots don’t just move, they adapt. Their AI brains power seamless navigation, allowing them to recognize, understand, and gracefully maneuver through their surroundings.
- Impressive Dexterity: With opposable thumbs, a rolling globe for swift movement, and a universal handle, they boast a 97% grasping success rate – far exceeding the 60% industry standard.
- Mammal-like Behavior: Enchanted Tools didn’t stop at functionality. Miroka and Miroki come alive with AI-driven ear wiggles, facial expressions, and engaging interactions, blurring the line between robots and relatable companions.
- Real-World Impact: Successful trials at Assistance Publique–Hôpitaux de Paris (AP-HP) in France demonstrate their potential in healthcare, particularly as care companions for children undergoing medical treatment.
Born from the visionary mind of Jérôme Monceaux, co-creator of Pepper and Nao, Miroka and Miroki were brought to life in under a year. Continuous software and functionality improvements are underway, with an early access program for purchase launched in early 2024.
“We’re not just building robots,” explains Richard Malterre, CCO of Enchanted Tools. “We’re crafting personalities, injecting soul and captivating backstories into technology.”
Enchanted Tools sets a new standard for robotics at CES. Miroka and Miroki are more than just helpers; they’re friends, ready to usher in a future where innovation dances with charm.
