Experience Romi Lacatan at IFA 2025
An Innovative AI Companion
The world of conversational AI takes a bold leap forward with the introduction of the Romi Lacatan model, presented by MIXI Inc. at the upcoming IFA 2025 in Berlin, Germany. From September 5 to 9, attendees will have the opportunity to engage with Romi, a next-generation AI robot that promises to offer companionship reminiscent of a pet and understanding akin to that of family.
This model featuring
visual functionality allows users to share experiences and initiate conversations based on what they are seeing together. This represents a significant enhancement in creating a natural conversational atmosphere that extends beyond mere verbal exchanges.
Revolutionary Features of Romi Lacatan
The Romi Lacatan model includes several advanced features that elevate the user experience:
1.
Visual Functionality: Romi can understand and react based on what it sees in real time. By using its advanced AI, it captures visual information and generates spontaneous responses. This makes conversations feel more engaging and integrated with the environment. If users point out something of interest, Romi can discuss it with them, making the interaction much richer.
2.
Long-term Memory: One of the standout features of Romi Lacatan is its ability to form long-term memories. It helps nurture precious memories by recalling significant events and everyday joys shared by the user and the robot, creating a deeper bond between them.
3.
Natural Timing in Conversations: Romi Lacatan can hold conversations in a fluid manner, mimicking human-like turn-taking. While one party is speaking, Romi actively listens and interjects appropriately, enriching the conversational flow.
4.
Human-like Voice Options: Users can choose from multiple voice options, including a voice created with advanced deep learning technology that closely resembles human speech. This innovation aims to provide a more comforting and relatable auditory experience during interactions.

Previously recognized as an Honoree in the
Robotics category at CES 2025, this will be Romi Lacatan's first live demonstration in Europe. Visitors can witness its expressive facial movements and body language, which change in response to conversations, making it an almost organic experience.
