"Do Android dream of electric sheep?" The title of Philip K. Dick's 1968 novel raises the question of what connects and separates man and machine. Can machines dream? Will they feel it?-At least they can model it to make it easier for them to integrate into everyday life. This is also the approach taken by the design team behind the LG Q9. Smart home robots combine technical intelligence with emotional interaction-the so-called "soulful intelligence". The aim is to create a friendly, lively look that can create a sense of intimacy, not distance, without being human or intimidating. The design is modelled on the theme of a curious child, contrasting with cold, perfect machine images. Facial expressions and movements are deliberately designed with slight imperfections, and it is considered that small "mistakes" are considered cute features. Q9 can explain functional and emotional needs. The two-legged wheel design ensures smooth and safe mobility; the shape, material selection and head movement support natural expression. The Q9 owes its ability to act and react to highly developed sensor technology and powerful AI. Facial recognition, multimodal perception, and slam technologies enable secure, autonomous mobility and sensitive responses to the environment. Functionally, the Q9 acts as a mobile smart home hub, controlling IoT devices, facilitating home management and monitoring the living environment in real time. For example, it detects falls, triggers alarms and responds to voice, face, behavior and activity-including personal education and entertainment. Whether the Q9 has a dream remains to be seen, but it is certain that its empathic look convinced the jury: "The LG Q9 combines pioneering technology and a new approach to emotional interaction design. The cute, lovable look and empathic exchange and emotional communication create an emotional closeness that was previously rare in everyday life." The lively appearance and empathetic communication create an emotional intimacy that was previously rare in everyday life. Q9 shows how to harmoniously combine function, safety and emotional connection-paving the way for a new generation of interactive products close to everyday life."
