[Hong Kong News] Xlife Robot community platform announced today the official introduction of the world’s first high-value humanoid robot, the G1, developed by China’s Unitree Robotics. Named “Bobby,” the robot embodies the philosophy of “democratizing intelligence” to propel Hong Kong into a new era of smart technology services. Bobby’s debut marks a significant milestone in Hong Kong’s smart city development, injecting innovative momentum into local enterprises and public services.
Dr. Yesir Cheng (郑海名博士), founder of Xlife Robot, renowned Asian enterprise coach, and corporate training expert, is the core driving force behind this milestone initiative. With his sharp market insights, he has become the pioneering business leader to introduce the Unitree G1 robot to Hong Kong. At the press conference, Dr. Cheng stated that he will actively collaborate with global high-end brands in the future to introduce diverse robotic models—including collaborative robotic arms from the United States, micro-companion robots from Japan, and emotional interactive robots from Europe—further expanding Hong Kong’s smart application scenarios to meet diverse market demands.
Bobby: A Global Trendsetting Robot Combining Intelligence and Agility
With exceptional artificial intelligence technology and mobility, Bobby sets a new global benchmark for smart robotics. Its multi-axis joint motors and deep learning systems support high-difficulty movements such as dynamic backflips and precise grasping, showcasing extraordinary agility and intelligence. Furthermore, Bobby features a modular design and open API interfaces, enabling enterprises to conduct deep custom development tailored to their operational needs. Combined with a “Robot-as-a-Service” (RaaS) rental model, this provides flexible solutions for commercial applications.
In the retail sector, Bobby can autonomously handle shelf restocking, unmanned delivery, and multilingual guided shopping, while executing precise sorting via dexterous 3-finger robotic hands to dramatically boost operational efficiency. In the catering industry, Bobby can be applied to food preparation, table delivery, and interactive performances, delivering an immersive consumer experience. Equipped with 3D LiDAR and depth cameras, it achieves autonomous navigation in dense urban environments. Future plans also include entering the education sector by partnering with schools to develop programming courses that inspire youths’ interest and potential in technology.
Reshaping Marketing Models and Building an Intelligent Ecosystem
The introduction of Bobby brings an entirely new brand marketing model to merchants. Businesses can rent Bobby to participate in grand openings, exhibitions, or festive events, leveraging its high-difficulty dynamic performances and real-time interaction to draw crowds. For instance, Bobby can recreate complex dances or custom martial arts movements, which, when combined with social media live streaming, significantly boosts event buzz and online exposure. Statistics show that events featuring Bobby can generate over a million online views, helping brands elevate their market profile. Additionally, Dr. Cheng revealed future plans to import more international models, such as European emotional interactive robots, to help merchants craft personalized marketing campaigns while expanding application scenarios in key sectors like healthcare, elder care, and home services, thereby sharpening Hong Kong’s competitiveness in smart technology applications.
Xlife Robot Community Platform: Co-Creating a New Future for Smart Applications
As Hong Kong’s premier community platform dedicated to robotics development, Xlife Robot centers its core mission on “popularization, collaboration, and innovation,” offering one-stop services covering sales, leasing, technical support, and secondary development. The platform not only helps businesses rapidly integrate smart robot technology, but also establishes a technical support center to assist developers in building proprietary application modules. It conducts regular software and hardware upgrades to ensure technological updates and application innovations advance hand-in-hand.
Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) can leverage platform resources to swiftly deploy Bobby or other robots into commercial scenarios—such as developing holiday-limited interactive programs or optimizing logistics algorithms. Meanwhile, citizens can participate in workshops to learn robot operation and basic programming, driving the popularization and integration of smart technology into everyday life. Looking ahead, Xlife Robot plans to integrate global technological resources and foster cross-border cooperation, transforming Hong Kong from a mere consumer of robotics into an innovation driver for global smart cities.
Writing a New Chapter for Smart Cities
With the official unveiling of the Unitree G1 humanoid robot Bobby in Hong Kong, Dr. Yesir Cheng’s pioneering initiative has not only created opportunities for local enterprises to connect with cutting-edge technology, but has also infused fresh momentum into Hong Kong’s smart city construction. Xlife Robot will continue to spearhead the new wave of smart technology, catalyzing further innovative projects and joining hands with all sectors to advance Hong Kong’s smart city vision while telling a compelling story of Hong Kong’s technological prowess.
