SUMMARY:

 

Xiao He is a humanoid AI assistant engineered by Ex Robots to support journalists and delegates at high‑level diplomatic events. Deployed at the 2025 SCO Summit, Xiao He provided multilingual communication (Chinese, English, Russian), real‑time information retrieval, emotion recognition, and protocol‑sensitive responses. The robot is designed to operate in crowded, high‑pressure media environments, offering accurate, neutral, and culturally appropriate interaction.

 

Xiao He represents China’s push to integrate AI‑driven humanoids into global diplomacy and international media operations.

 

EDITORIAL:

 

Xiao He is not an industrial robot or a general‑purpose humanoid. It is a diplomatic‑grade communication robot, built for environments where accuracy, etiquette, and multilingual fluency matter as much as physical presence. Its deployment at the SCO Summit—one of the largest geopolitical gatherings in Asia—signals a shift in how governments and media organizations may use humanoids in the future.

 

Unlike expressive androids such as Ameca or Jia Jia, Xiao He is optimized for information delivery, journalist support, and emotion‑aware interaction. Its ability to recognize emotional cues and adjust tone accordingly is particularly important in diplomatic settings, where miscommunication can have consequences.

 

Xiao He’s presence at the summit also demonstrates China’s ambition to showcase AI soft power: using humanoid robots not just for industry or entertainment, but for international communication and protocol‑sensitive engagement.
