Noetix Xiao Nuo 3.0

Xiao Nuo 3.0 is the stationary end of Noetix Robotics' bionic range: not a humanoid that walks, but a head and shoulders mounted in place, built to hold a conversation and look human while doing it. The company sells it beside its mobile bionic robot W1 and its athletic humanoids N2 and E1, and the contrast is deliberate — here every joint serves the face. The head carries 32 active and 8 passive degrees of freedom, the same count the maker quotes for the head of the W1, which suggests a shared module. Those actuators move eyebrows, eyeballs and mouth through what the company lists as smiling, anger, sadness and agreement. The skin is platinum-cure silicone chosen for its resemblance to human skin texture, and both hairstyle and makeup are described as customisable and quickly swapped, so the same unit can be re-styled for a different role or a different brand. Interaction runs on a large AI model, with speech recognition quoted at 98% accuracy, text-to-speech playback and lip movement matched to the words. The maker names four target uses: research and education, consultation and reception desks, live-stream broadcasting, and companionship at home. Two naming points are worth recording. Chinese press coverage refers to this family as Hobbs, numbering the machine as a third generation, while the manufacturer's own pages — in Chinese and in English — call it only Xiao Nuo 3.0; this profile follows the manufacturer. Separately, a robot from this same bionic series appeared alongside the actress Cai Ming on China's 2026 Spring Festival Gala, which is how most Chinese readers know the line. At the 2026 World Robot Conference in Beijing, staff on the company's stand quoted its bionic robots from about CNY 99,000 with higher configurations above CNY 130,000, and said the premium buys finer facial expression; the company publishes no price list naming individual models, so that range is recorded here as a show-floor quote for the line.
