China Launches World’s First Panda Robot Designed for Emotional Companionship | WION

WION reports on An’an, a real biomimetic panda robot developed in China by Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University and Mind with Heart Robotics. The AI-powered “cyber panda” is built for emotional companionship, children’s learning, and elder-care support, with a soft wool-and-sheepskin exterior and tactile sensors. The clip shows the physical robot interacting in a human-like, cute companion role rather than as animation or CGI.
