Once with a sense of companionship - Bell Youbao intelligent companion robot evaluation

On May 8th, Bell Science Group released the intelligent companion robot Youbao Ubao, claiming to have powerful AI interaction capabilities, massive learning knowledge, and humane companionship design. This time we will come and experience it.

Exterior

Open the box, which contains the body of Yubao, and the warranty card, manual, data link line.

In terms of appearance, Bell Scientific Group has released yellow, blue and pink colors, and this evaluation is also a yellow-blue version. Yu Po's body also gives people a feeling of stay Meng Meng The actual size is slightly smaller than a volleyball. Take up to about 650g weight, plus the safety grade ABS + PC injection molding material gives a kind of quite texture feeling.

Youbao has these important areas from top to bottom for children to touch, operate and interact with. They are the control button of the antenna's root circle, the large dot matrix display “glasses”, the breathing light arms, and the collar position. The micro-talk button, and the power button behind the operation button. The antenna root control button can control the volume addition and subtraction, song up and down, play start pause, directory, scene, and other major functions of collection, is the main operation area of ​​Youbao. In the body design, the glasses display is rather regrettable. The 2x5x7 dot matrix lamp can be said to be inconvenient at the information display level. For example, it is not easy to recognize the appearance of suspected Wi-Fi signs in the glasses when configuring the network. Out. Fortunately, Youbao's main interaction is supported by a powerful speech engine.

App use

After turning on the power switch behind the door, you need to use the mobile phone App to connect to the Internet. The App itself bears several important roles:

1. Configure the network for Youbao, connect the earth line

2. Manage your collection to find more audio content suitable for your child

3. Parent-child chat and language chat assistant

The overall App experience is still quite good, but downloading the app must scan the QR code in the manual or enter the full name “Bell Ubao” (Search for “Bell/Youbao/Ubao” in the iOS App Store Appstore cannot search for any keyword. The correct result), but these are not a big problem, I believe Belco Education Group's R & D team will be resolved as soon as possible.

Voice interaction

In the back of Youbao, there is a sound hole with a prismatic design. The actual experience sounds loud and clear. However, Ubisoft's nirvana does not come from this impressive horn, but is the voice engine of AI's intelligent blessing.

Youbao's speech engine claims to provide recognition enhancement and comprehension enhancement services for the pronunciation of children aged 3 to 7 years. However, in actual experience, the accuracy of voice recognition is much higher than expected. The child's slightly tender voiceline When you use words such as apple, giraffe, and bird, Youbao can respond correctly. Surprisingly, in the actual scenes such as checking the weather, it is actually possible to reply based on the context. This is even the iPhone. Siri on X can't do it!

The catch is that Youbao, like most ordinary voice assistants, relies on keywords and fixed sentences to open certain functions, so there will be cases where the key words are omitted but they don't turn.

Child: How does Apple say English?

Youbao: Apple

Children: What do giraffes say?

Youbao: ...

On the other hand, Youbao has a very good oral language training function for children. It can read, correct, and correct children's pronunciations. It also has various vocative feedbacks that encourage children to continue their studies. I believe there is an improvement in children’s listening and speaking skills. Will help. If you can ask your child: "How does Apple speak English?", read twice, give the child a chance to read once, and it will be even more perfect. It will also get parents' hearts.

Audio Library

As mentioned above, the use of Youbao requires the connection of Wi-Fi signals at home. On the one hand, the interaction with children requires the online AI blessing, and on the other hand, Youbao has a powerful audio resource library on-line.

The little case for on-demand “Little Apple” is not mentioned here, and there is no difficulty at all. Youbao has a wealth of online resources, such as databases of Sinology resources, which can be easily answered with the context understanding capabilities mentioned above. Historical figures, poems and other issues are quite powerful.

Children: What is the next sentence of "goose goose goose"?

Youbao: Song to Tiange

Child: Who is the author of Moonlight in Bed?

You Bao: Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai

Conclusion

Due to the short experience time, Youbao's long-distance chat, trivial filtering, family memory and other functions have not been in-depth experience. No comments are made here.

Although there are no shortage of similarly pleasing toys on the market, Youbao companion robots are indeed able to reflect their texture and intellectual sense from a crowd of toys.

Believe that through the further optimization and improvement of Belle Education Group in the future, we will bring better and more intelligent companion robots to accompany the "indigenous people of artificial intelligence era" to grow happier.
