Forget about robops. A robotic horse came out, and you can ride it

 

When it comes to mass production of robots, manufacturers usually present their ideas in the guise of electronic animals - robotic pets cause excitement in all age groups and demonstrate the power of progress. But the Chinese manufacturer of electric cars Xpeng Motors decided not to get attached to the classic model of robotic dogs and gave out on-the-mountain know-how - a robotic horse!

The manufacturer claims that this is not only the world's first robotic horse, but also a means of transportation - you can ride it! The robot is oriented towards children, which can be seen both in the appearance of the horse and in its dimensions. In addition to the transport function, Xpeng promises the robot's perception of the environment and the ability to intelligently and emotionally interact with the owner.

The robotic horse is able to express emotions, reacts to touch and voice commands. Equipped with cameras and lidars, the robot is capable of autonomously transporting small loads; for this, a special removable box is provided on its back. If the battery runs out on the way, the faithful horse will go to the charging station on its own.

When, and most importantly for how much, it will be possible to purchase this miracle of technology Xpeng Motors does not say. However, the change in the traditional form factor of the dog cannot but rejoice - perhaps, dragon robots are not far off, on which it will be possible to make a circle or two around the house, flying past amazed passers-by.
