AI Emotional Companion Robots: From Niche to Mainstream
A rapidly growing and highly specialized field—AI emotional companion robots—has quietly stepped from the shadows to the spotlight. Technology fusion is reshaping the category, turning static models into interactive partners that deliver conversational and emotional value.
WMdoll
One of the world’s largest silicone doll manufacturers. By integrating large language models like ChatGPT, WMdoll has launched AI-enabled products with dialogue capabilities, receiving strong overseas market response.
Starpery
Pursues self-developed AI models, aiming for deeper voice and bodily interaction. The company’s direction signals future integration of robotics into personal life through emotionally aware companionship.
Conclusion: A Flourishing Map of Chinese Robotics
From Unitree to Zhiyuan, UBTech to DeepRobotics, and niche innovators in AI companionship, China’s robotics players are thriving across motion control, AI brains, industrial deployment, and consumer ecosystems. They collectively prove that China’s innovation soil nurtures both performance-driven “geeks” and ecosystem-defining “visionaries.”
With technology, capital, and application scenarios accelerating in tandem, the robotics revolution—deeply shaped by Chinese strength—has only just begun.
