The company describes Ai Me (Amy) as the “world’s first modular AI companion robot” but didn’t go into details about its full capabilities. A camera on its head can record videos or recognize objects using AI, and while the bot’s movements are limited to tiny flapping arms and blinking animated eyes, it pairs with a small motorized chair to autonomously navigate a home.
