Matrix Robotics said its third-generation humanoid, MATRIX-3, debuted as an intelligent tour guide at the China International Import Expo in Shanghai. The release describes this as the robot’s first tour-guide use in a real-world scenario.
The company said the robot interacted with visitors in a crowded, noisy venue and completed a visitor-service sequence covering perception, multimodal interaction, company explanations and responses. Matrix said the system did not require manual line-by-line control.
Matrix attributed the robot’s dialogue and physical coordination to its WAVE physical-world base model and a general motion-control model. These descriptions come from the company’s release and do not provide an independent evaluation of the demonstration.
The release lists MATRIX-3 at 1.70 metres tall and 65 kilograms, with a 27-degree-of-freedom rope-driven hand and fingertip sensing accuracy of 0.1 newtons. The figures are company-reported specifications.
