The Xiao Zhi Shu AI Children’s Toy is an intelligent interactive toy designed for children aged 3 to 8, integrating hardware and software development, human-computer interaction design, and child developmental psychology. Its innovation lies in deeply combining artificial intelligence technology with children’s cognitive characteristics to create a natural, seamless, two-way communication system, aiming to provide children with a safe, natural, and educationally enriching interactive experience.
It adopts a bionic egg-shaped structure with smooth, rounded curves tailored to children’s ergonomic needs, ensuring comfortable handling and safety from injury. It can also be transformed into a portable accessory via a pendant, meeting diverse needs such as outdoor activities. A smile-shaped light module at the device’s center dynamically adjusts color and brightness based on usage scenarios, forming an intuitive emotional feedback mechanism. The overall design is simple and modern, blending the friendliness of a toy with the futuristic appeal of a tech product.
By continuously learning the wearer’s language habits and interests, the system autonomously adjusts dialogue content and interaction methods, creating a personalized growth companionship experience. Unlike traditional voice assistants that focus on one-way command execution, it supports diverse interaction forms such as story creation, knowledge exploration, and scenario simulation, naturally integrating language training, logical thinking, and creativity development into the dialogue process. Additionally, the device features an environmental sensing module that detects real-time changes in day-night cycles and activity states, automatically switching interaction modes accordingly.
The emotion recognition system analyzes voice characteristics and behavioral patterns to compile a child’s emotional development trajectory, uploaded in real-time to a companion app. All data is presented in clear, intuitive charts and text suggestions, offering features like emotion reports, personality analysis, and interest guidance to help parents comprehensively understand their child’s emotional changes and growth trajectory.
