The consumer robotics ecosystem takes a significant step forward with the Bumi's arrivalThe new humanoide Noetix Robotics presented in China and designed to coexist in classrooms and homes. The proposal seeks Bring these technologies outside the laboratory with a compact format and a reasonable price., opening the door to practical uses beyond technical demonstrations.
With a height of At 94 centimeters tall and weighing 12 kilos, Bumi falls into the "child size" range. and promises basic functions such as walking and performing simple choreographiesThe company highlights that its launch marks the entry of humanoids into the consumer market, with an explicit positioning towards education and the family environment.
What is Bumi and who is it aimed at?
The Beijing-based start-up defines Bumi as a humanoid «family-friendly» oriented to educational and domestic useThe device is intended to serve both learning activities (programming, physics, robotics) and recreational and experimental tasks at home, with an educational approach that fosters creativity and technological curiosity.
According to Noetix, the proposal combines research in locomotion with practical aspects of accessibility, so that the robot can be used in class without complexity and is also safe and manageable in the home.
Design, mechanics and sensors
In the mechanical section, Bumi incorporates 21 joints that allow knee and elbow flexion, smooth torso twists, and coordinated hip movements to maintain balance. The chassis is made with lightweight composite materials to reduce weight and facilitate transport.
In the head it integrates a front camera for object and face detection and several microphones designed to pick up voice commands. With this configuration you can move with steady steps and synchronize dance-like movements, always within controlled and clear scenarios.
Control, software and programming
Noetix has developed its own system of Movement control and an open programming interface. For beginners, the robot supports block programming by dragging and dropping, so that actions can be chained together, loops of steps created, or reactions defined to a spoken command.
Voice responses are kept deliberately simple, focused on basic commands and routines reproducible in educational settings. The software architecture is designed to be expanded with new features through future updates.
- Level: 94 cm
- Weight: 12 kg
- Degrees of freedom: 21
- Battery: 48 V with approximate autonomy of 1 to 2 hours
- Capabilities: walk, perform choreographies, object/face detection and voice response
- Construction: Lightweight compounds and a design conceived for easy handling
Price and Availability
The company sets the price below 10.000 yuan (around $1.400), an unusual figure in this category. The pre-sale has been planned around the campaigns Double 11 and Double 12 in China, and Noetix has indicated that, after opening reservations, it exceeded the 300 units in 20 hoursFor now, the commercial focus is on its local market and No international distribution plans have been detailed. in the materials consulted.
Intended uses in classroom and home
In education, Bumi can help explain physics and control concepts through bipedal walking, as well as serving as a platform for block programming exercises. At home, its role involves guided recreational activities and practice learning routines, with simple and repeatable interactions.
The proposal includes extensions with additional sensors and modules, as well as a opening to developers through interfaces that encourage the creation of new behaviors and sequences. The company frames the device as a starting point on which grow an ecosystem of software and content.
Autonomy, durability and maintenance
The energy system It operates at 48 volts and offers between one and two hours of use depending on the type of activity.Reasonable questions remain about the resistance to shocks, dust or spills, although Noetix claims that the joints are sealed and that several parts are modular for easy replacements.
The battery is replaceable and the company plans continuous improvements via software. Common doubts persist in this category, such as management stairs or uneven surfaces, which will require sustained testing in real-life environments.
Interest in Spain and Europe
For the European public, and especially in Spain, a humanoid with these characteristics and a reasonable price It may be attractive for educational centers, learning labs, and maker communities.. In the absence of sales confirmation and certifications for the EU, the focus on teaching and home use positions Bumi as a candidate to follow for distributors and trainers if plans to enter Europe are announced.
The proposed Noetix brings the first consumer humanoids closer to everyday scenarios with a balance between cost, basic capabilities and educational focus; We will have to see how it evolves real performance and support when its use becomes widespread beyond the initial demonstrations.
