BonicBot S Series
Advanced AI Humanoid
The BonicBot S Series is a human-height social humanoid for classrooms, receptions, showrooms and venues, built around expressive conversational AI.
S1 Lite talks, teaches and presents through the BonicOS Interface on its chest. S1 Pro adds five-joint arms, an on-board AI computer, 360° LiDAR and 3D vision, so it can find its own way around a building — and it is the model for coding and ROS 2.
