New Collaboration Brings AI Robot Rental Service to SUUTA Users Starting from September 2025

SUUTA Introduces Romi AI Robot Rental Service

In an exciting partnership, SUUTA, a rental platform headquartered in Minato, Tokyo, has teamed up with MIXI to launch a rental service for their conversation AI robot, Romi (Lacatan model). This innovative service will commence on September 8, 2025, providing a unique opportunity for users who wish to test the Romi before deciding to purchase. This initiative aims to cater to various needs such as enhancing daily life, supporting distant family members, and stimulating children's education.

A New Experience of Renting Before Buying

For those curious about how Romi could fit into their lives, this rental option offers a chance to experience the robot's functionalities firsthand. The anticipated scenarios for utilizing Romi include the following:
1. Enhancing Daily Life: For those living alone or spending significant time at home, Romi provides engaging conversations to enrich emotional and mental well-being.
2. Family Connection: For families living apart, Romi can help bridge the gap, subtly supporting interactions and maintaining bonds.
3. Educational Aid for Children: Romi can stimulate children's curiosity, serving as an interactive tool for programming learning and language acquisition.

What is the Romi AI Robot?

Romi is a palm-sized communication robot specifically designed for conversation. Unlike conventional robots that rely on pre-programmed responses, Romi utilizes a unique conversation AI developed by MIXI. This technology enables spontaneous and natural dialogue, enhancing the user experience through fluid back-and-forth interactions.

Additionally, Romi displays a range of charming facial expressions and movements. It offers non-verbal communication, reacting joyfully when petted or exhibiting surprise when being embraced, providing a unique presence unlike any other. With gentle responses and rich emotional expressions, Romi not only energizes its owner but also fosters different styles of empathetic interactions with family and friends.

The Lacatan model of Romi comes with a visual function, allowing it to engage in conversation based on what both the robot and the owner are observing together. This feature allows for dynamic and meaningful dialogues about shared experiences. Furthermore, Romi has enhanced capabilities, including long-term memory to remember past interactions and natural conversation timing, making its responses feel more human-like and aligned with the owner's emotions.
