In recent years, robotics have steadily been entering the consumer electronics market. Back in August, Xiaomi had revealed its CyberDog and now, Xpeng, another company from China is working on a rideable robotic unicorn for children.

The known Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer is apparently branching out from automobile for a new product. The new Xpeng Robot Unicorn is an upcoming quadruped robot that takes a shape of a horse but with a unicorn styled design. It is being built with the company’s expertise in autonomous driving and other AI functions that will help it navigate different terrains, recognize objects and obstacles, and also provide “emotional interactions” as well.

Furthermore, the new robot will also be built with machine deep learning so it could better interact with users while also ensuring safety and good quality. The company is also looking to bring in more people for this project from different regions in China and even the United States from varying fields like automobiles, AI systems, and others. Looking at the design of the robotic unicorn, it resembles a horse like design but with a face that is built specifically to improve human interaction. It is said to support voice recognition along with facial recognition as well.

As of right now, the Chinese brand has just teaser this rideable robotic unicorn and has yet to reveal finer details regarding this product. Unfortunately, the pricing of this robot is also currently unknown but it could easily cost somewhere around 3,000 US Dollars. This could eventually also lead to someday the company releasing adult sized version of the product depending on how it performs in the market, but that is just speculation at the moment.
