Evidence and real-world use

We found no peer-reviewed studies or documented care-program deployments for this product as of September 5, 2026. That is normal for consumer robots; it just means claims about wellbeing benefits are the manufacturer's, not independent.

How we know this, and sources

Specs and prices come from the manufacturer's own pages and press releases, checked on September 5, 2026; owner-reported limitations come from published reviews and caregiver forums. We have not yet tested this unit hands-on — what that means. Price confidence: low. Confirm on the manufacturer's site before buying.

Price note: China price ¥399 CNY (~US$55); no US retail or USD price as of Sept 2026. Debuted a cellular 'Multilingual International Edition' at CES 2026; sold out in minutes at WAIC Shanghai 2025. Watch for US launch.
