Enchanted Tools Robot Mirokaï self-balancing on a ball, agile, flexible support Robot Made in France

Enchanted Tools, a Paris-based startup, is showcasing its humanoid robot named Mirokaï at CES Unveiled. The robot is designed for social logistics, featuring a bright, animated face created by a video projector and a 3D engine. Mirokaï is self-balancing on a ball, allowing it to be agile and move at a speed of 3 km per hour, similar to human walking speed. Currently a prototype, the company plans to start selling the first units to academics in 2024 and release a full product in 2025.
Enchanted Tools has connections with Aldebaran Robotics, as its founder J Mosu was one of the co-founders of Aldebaran. Unlike educational or entertainment-focused robots, Mirokaï aims to be a social logistic robot, capable of moving objects efficiently. The robot's hands can handle up to 1.5 kg per hand and 3 kg in both hands, with a pulling capacity of around 15 kg. Enchanted Tools emphasizes the ecological aspect, intending to serve as many people as possible in settings like hospitals.
The robot is equipped with sensors, including a 3D camera on the head and another on the bottom, enabling it to detect and interact with its environment. The projected price for Mirokaï is $30,000, making it more affordable than some other advanced robots in the market, such as Boston Dynamics' Spot, which is priced around $100,000.
Enchanted Tools differentiates Mirokaï's use case from Boston Dynamics, stating that Mirokaï is focused on working alongside humans in daily tasks, while Boston Dynamics' robots are more geared towards patrolling and exploring areas where humans may face challenges. The company claims to have several patents and solutions to ensure the robot's safety.
During the demonstration, Mirokaï's software engineer, Cedric, discussed the robot's capabilities, highlighting its vision system with a 3D camera for distance measurement. The robot can grasp specific objects, like a handle, fixed on a tray or cart, making it suitable for tasks such as delivering food in hospitals. Enchanted Tools plans to develop a voice command system for easy orders, envisioning applications in settings like hospitals.
The company emphasizes the emotional interaction potential of Mirokaï, suggesting that it could provide companionship and support, especially in environments like elderly care homes. The robot is designed to detect emotions and offer encouraging messages. Enchanted Tools envisions Mirokaï as a helpful and friendly face, capable of performing repetitive tasks and bringing comfort to individuals.
Regarding falls, Enchanted Tools acknowledges that the current prototype lacks a system to catch itself but mentions ongoing efforts to develop a solution to prevent falls. The company has a team of around 80 people, including hardware and software engineers, and plans to expand to 150 people in the next year to further develop and refine Mirokaï.

Cool robot - I like the base a lot - only thing it can't handle is stairs...

Unrealistic question to ask when it can cook or wash, that is still far in the future.
