Z Autobot / model / Z2

Z2.

A small robot
with local reflexes.

Z2 combines realtime conversation with physical awareness. It can listen, see, speak, move, sense its surroundings, adapt to ambient light, protect itself at an edge, and report what actually happened.

01 / Intelligence

AI is
the core.

Z2 is not a remote-controlled hardware kit with a chatbot attached. Its AI connects perception, reasoning, memory, tools, and physical execution into one robot system.

PERCEIVE→REASON→USE TOOLS→ACT→VERIFY
01

Multimodal perception

Combine camera vision, voice, distance, light, motion, and robot telemetry into one grounded view of the moment.

02

AI reasoning

Understand intent, choose a safe plan, select the right tools, and adapt the response to the person and situation.

03

Verified execution

Turn decisions into bounded robot actions, then return the actual command status instead of assuming success.

04

Cloud intelligence

Use managed realtime AI services for speech, vision, reasoning, memory, and continuously improving capabilities.

05

Identity and memory

Recognize authorized people, preserve preferences and relationships, and maintain useful context across interactions.

06

Usage management

Connect every machine to an account with transparent token allowance, consumption, and capability access.

02 / Toolbox system

One robot.
Extensible abilities.

Toolboxes give the AI explicit capabilities. Z2 can combine several toolboxes in one plan while permissions, local safety, and execution acknowledgements remain visible.

01

Music

Play favorites, choose a mood, control playback, and use music inside routines.

02

Tasks

Create, schedule, pause, resume, and report multi-step robot tasks.

03

Calendar

Read schedules, create reminders, prepare for events, and coordinate daily routines.

04

Browser control

Open the robot page on your phone or computer for movement, camera controls, and direct hold-to-talk.

05

Navigation

Move toward a destination using local ranging, vision, safe-path decisions, and guarded recovery.

06

Family assistance

Support stories, routines, learning, reminders, and family check-ins while keeping adult supervision essential.

07

Communication

Deliver messages, start calls, announce updates, and help people stay connected.

08

Home control

Operate authorized lights, appliances, scenes, and connected devices through explicit permissions.

09

Learning

Explain, demonstrate, quiz, translate, and adapt educational activities to the person.

10

Memory

Remember names, preferences, recurring needs, important facts, and the context behind a request.

11

Vision

Identify objects, read visible information, describe scenes, and use visual context during a task.

12

Robot hardware

Control motion, lights, display, sound, sensors, and presentation with local safety always in authority.

03 / Cloud system

Connected,
not dependent.

ACCOUNTOne identity across robots, people, permissions, and services.
TOKENSClear AI allowance and usage management for every machine.
REALTIMEStreaming speech, vision, reasoning, and tool coordination.
LOCAL SAFETYImmediate motion protection remains on Z2 even when cloud service is unavailable.

04 / Hardware

Built as one
complete machine.

Every component has a defined job in the robot: motion, awareness, communication, feedback, or protection.

Compute

ESP32-S3-WROOM-1-N16R8

Dual-core control with 16 MB flash and 8 MB PSRAM.

Motion

TP101 crawler / TB6612FNG

Differential tracked drive; distance and turn calibration is specific to the installed chassis.

Range

3 × ToF + HY-SRF05

Front-left, front-right, rear, and ultrasonic front coverage.

Floor

2 × TCRT-5000

Front and rear floor sensors stop movement at an edge.

Vision

ESP camera

Forward visual input for image understanding and scene awareness.

Ambient

VEML7700

Measures surrounding light for awareness and automatic interface brightness.

Voice

INMP441 + MAX98357A

Digital microphone and amplified 3 W speaker path.

Interface

OLED + 12-pixel ring

128 × 64 status display and ambient-responsive light ring.

Connection

USB Type-C

A modern physical connection for power, setup, and wired maintenance.

05 / Awareness

Safety stays
close to motion.

Z2 does not wait for a remote service before responding to a nearby obstacle or a missing floor.

01

See the boundary

Front sonar, three directional ranging sensors, and two floor sensors continuously describe the space around Z2.

02

Block the direction

A close obstacle blocks motion into that sector without freezing the entire drivetrain. Cliff protection remains absolute.

03

Find open space

Z2 pivots toward the larger opening, moves in a bounded step, stops, rescans, and adapts without waiting for the cloud.

06 / Conversation

Voice in.
Action out.
