Robonova.i
Robonova is an innovative robotics company specializing in embodied AI companion robots that blend advanced bionic engineering with emotional intelligence. Operating under the brand Robonova.i (by Yizhizai Intelligent Technology), the company aims to bridge the digital and physical worlds by creating companions that offer persistent presence, emotional connection, and meaningful interaction beyond traditional screens or virtual assistants. Their mission focuses on combating loneliness through sophisticated AI that senses mood, tone, and context while delivering natural, human-like responses.
At the heart of their lineup is Eva.i, their flagship bionic embodied AI companion robot. This humanoid model stands around 160 cm tall with a natural, lifelike appearance featuring a Tri-Layer Sensing System: an optical-grade biomimetic epidermis for realistic texture, an FPC sensor matrix for high-sensitivity tactile input, and an instant thermal core that maintains a body-like 37°C (99°F) warmth. Eva.i excels in multimodal perception, including emotional vision, spatial audio tracking for head-turning toward voices, hyper-realistic voice synthesis, and context-aware AI that remembers user interactions. It integrates seamlessly with a companion app for ongoing virtual-physical experiences, making it suitable for domestic, educational, and research settings. While the first version emphasizes upper-body mobility and presence (with walking planned for future generations), it prioritizes emotional companionship over chores or heavy tasks.
Robonova's product ecosystem centers on Eva.i, highlighting its role as the inaugural model in the Robonova.i series. The company also develops supporting software, including the Robonova.i app, which enables users to customize personalities, engage in one-on-one emotional interactions, and participate in robot-centric communities. This holistic approach -- hardware fused with intelligent software -- positions Robonova as a pioneer in the emerging category of affectionate, presence-focused AI companions.
