Product overview
About UBTech Alpha Mini
UBTech Robotics, the Shenzhen maker of the Walker and Cruzr humanoids, lists the Alpha Mini as a compact consumer robot. The company's product page gives its size as 245 mm high, 149 mm wide and 112 mm deep, and its weight as 700 g with the battery. The robot has 14 degrees of freedom: three in the head, two per hand, one at the waist and three per leg.
Its sensing and interaction hardware includes a 13-megapixel autofocus camera, a distance sensor, an accelerometer, a gyroscope, touch sensors and a four-microphone array. A 1.22-inch, 240 by 240 TFT display shows its expressions. UBTech says the camera supports face and object recognition, and that the robot's servos drive dance and kung fu motions.
Programming uses graphical block coding with vision, sensing and speech modules, and UBTech publishes a Python SDK for AlphaMini that requires firmware V1.4.0 or newer. The product page gives a typical battery of 3.85 V and 4,060 mAh. A 2019 UBTech release says the Alpha Mini product press conference took place in September 2018. No current official retail price was found, but the live product page and SDK documentation remain available.
“Alpha Mini, compact and portable, it engages with interactive features, expressive capabilities, and voice interactions.”
