Through this, we will work to strengthen LOVOT's basic ability of "recognition" and further enhance its sense of life, like a living creature that grows close to people and grows attached to it as it spends time together.
[What is LOVOT, a family-type robot?]
"LOVOT" approaches and stares at you when you call its name. I miss my favorite person and beg for a hug. Slightly warm when you pick it up. Although it is a robot, it is a family-type robot that can be a next-generation pet that has a lifelike feeling of life. After about four years, it started shipping in December 2019, and has won numerous awards both in Japan and overseas for its cutting-edge technology that cannot be imagined from its lovely appearance. It is one of the robotics that has been evaluated all over the world and is currently attracting the most attention. In recent years, it has also been attracting attention from the perspective of mental care, emotional education, and programming education in the corona wreck, and has been introduced to educational facilities such as nursery schools, children's centers, and elementary schools, nursing care facilities, and companies nationwide.

CyberLink develops and provides the highly accurate AI facial recognition system "FaceMe®". FaceMe® is a real-time AI face recognition engine that achieves fast recognition speed (less than 0.2 seconds), high recognition accuracy (99.7% personal recognition rate), and a wide recognition range that recognizes faces even at angles.
Macnica handles advanced hardware and software from Japan and abroad, including CyberLink's FaceMe. We support our customers' product development as an accompanying partner, by identifying what our customers really want to achieve, proposing optimal solutions, and providing post-implementation follow-up.
CyberLink, Macnica, and GROOVE Agreed.
[Why FaceMe ® was adopted]
Since LOVOTs often look up at people's faces from below, it is necessary to be able to identify and match individuals even in angled facial images. We expect FaceMe to be lightweight even in embedded systems like LOVOT, and to have wide recognition accuracy for face angles.
