About J Panda Tus Neeg Hlau Pab Cuam Taug Kev Ob Txhais Ceg

J Panda yog ib tus neeg hlau pab cuam uas taug kev ob txhais ceg tsim los rau kev sib cuam tshuam thiab ua phooj ywg nyob rau thaj chaw sawv daws mus tau. Nws tus qauv muab cov teeb ntsuab dub thiab dawb, lub taub hau loj tshaj qhov qub thiab ob lub pob ntseg kheej kheej ntawm tus panda loj los sib xyaw nrog lub cev tawv neeg hlau sab nraud. Ob lub qhov muag vaj voog xya nti uas yog vijtsam tso tau cov ntsej muag me me xws li ntsais muag thiab ua muag ti. Ib lub tshuab txav muaj 21 theem kev txav ywj pheej pab kom nws nyo taub hau, puag thiab tig raws sijhawm nrog nws cov lus hais. Cov qauv xov paj ntaub thiab kev fiav xyoob raws li Suav li kev cai qub raug coj los siv rau saum nws lub cev. Ib hom uas tsim rau ib cheeb tsam siv lub plhaub sab nraud ua los ntawm ABS composite uas muaj 50 feem pua hmoov xyoob.

Unique Properties: J Panda is an integrated intelligent service robot designed to provide interactions and companionship in public places. It combines the cute image of a giant panda with a sleek robotic exoskeleton, giving it tech forward appeal, friendliness, and cultural identity. Through subtle micro expressions like blinking and squinting, humanlike gestures and voice interactions, J Panda creates a consistent and layered emotional dialogue for a more immersive and emotionally resonant companionship.
Dimensions & Packaging: L1460*W571*H510mm

Production Technology: J Panda weaves intangible cultural heritage elements of China, like Shu embroidery and traditional bamboo weaving, into its mechanical structure, bringing a warm, handcrafted touch and natural texture to its futuristic form. In collaboration with Dazhu County, leading bamboo producing county in Sichuan, a regional special edition has been created, which features an outer shell made of ABS composite infused with 50% bamboo powder, combining structural strength with biodegradability.
Design Challenge: The challenge was to reimagine the cold, mechanical robot as emotionally engaging companions. The design team combined a giant panda image with a robotic exoskeleton, using subtle micro expressions and humanlike gestures to enhance the interaction experience.
Traditional robot components are often nonrecyclable. Drawing on Sichuan bamboo expertise, the team incorporated bamboo into the structure of J Panda, promoting the applications of sustainable materials in intelligent hardware.
Research: As robots become increasingly present in public services and companionship scenarios, many existing robots prioritize functionality while overlooking emotional connection, leaving interactions feeling distant and impersonal. Rooted in the philosophy of emotional technology, J Panda adopts a holistic design approach that integrates form, interaction, and motion control to make robotic interaction feel warm, expressive, and human.
Inspiration: Inspired by the national treasure of China, the giant panda, a universal symbol of peace, friendliness, and affinity, J Panda features signature black and white color, oversized head, and rounded ears, integrated with a futuristic robotic exoskeleton to create a futuristic space panda form, giving it technological forward appeal and elevating friendliness and cultural identity. It combines advanced technology with emotional engagement and cultural storytelling in an interactive form.
Project Duration: Launched in October 2025, the project completed its exterior and structural design by December 2025 and has since moved into prototype testing, with official launch and delivery scheduled for February 2026.
Operation Flow: J Panda features 7 inch circular eye displays, each capable of presenting content independently. It can make subtle expressions like blinking or squinting. With a 21 DOF motion system and 80 TOPS of computing power, it can perform nodding, hugging, or turning in sync with speech, creating natural, lifelike interactions. AMP imitation learning technology enables the system to dynamically adapt its walking styles and standing postures to environments, allowing it to handle complex scenarios.
