SUMMARY:

 

Xiao Qi is a hyper‑realistic humanoid robot developed by Ex Robots in Dalian, China. Designed for public interaction, emotional expression, and conversational AI, Xiao Qi features fine‑grained facial motors, lifelike silicone skin, and naturalistic body movement. Mass production began in 2024, with deployment in exhibitions, media centers, and public‑facing environments.

 

EDITORIAL:

 

Xiao Qi represents China’s push into hyper‑realistic humanoid robotics, focusing not on locomotion or industrial capability but on human‑robot interaction, emotional expression, and social presence. With its expressive face, natural gestures, and conversational fluency, Xiao Qi is engineered to function as a public‑facing AI host, answering questions, guiding visitors, and demonstrating emotional cues.

 

Unlike bipedal humanoids, Xiao Qi is optimized for communication, realism, and social engagement, making it a showcase of China’s rapidly advancing humanoid‑expression technology. Its mass‑production rollout signals a shift toward scalable lifelike robots for exhibitions, customer service, and media environments.
