UBTECH Alpha 1s, Real Robot but Not Imagination

A new year has officially kicked off. As a bellwether of technology, CES 2016 had been held in Las Vegas, United States during January 6 to 9th. This year's CES, as Omni-directional interpretation of wearable health, virtual reality, automotive technology, smart home now and the latest technology in the future, was known as industry leader. CES, the Consumer Electronics Show is not short of some weird gadgets, robots are indispensable elements. With the development of artificial intelligence, robotics, we saw more interesting robots appear, not only as a toy, to a large extent, also as a tool to help people live better.

Literally, the Alpha 1s at the CES 2016 is so cool that attract thousands of people. UB Tech Alpha 1s humanoid robot is designed for family, programmable, interactable and affordable. Alpha 1S promises to be an especially fun toy for grownups or really lucky kids. We are able to use the app (for Android and iOS) to control the robot's movements, like turning around, waving, sitting, nodding and so on. The same applies to its other functions as well as.
