Honor, a technology company based in Shenzhen, recently unveiled its latest innovations: a robot phone and a humanoid companion during an event in Barcelona as part of their strategic push into artificial intelligence hardware. The robot phone boasts a unique motorized, three-axis gimbal arm that allows it to track motion and interact with users in a more engaging manner through camera movement, differentiating it from existing AI-enabled handsets that primarily depend on screen capture and voice commands.
