About

About QTrobot

QTrobot is a tabletop humanoid with an animated face, articulated arms, head movement, speech and environmental sensing. Its deliberately clear expressions and gestures provide a predictable interaction partner for children and research participants. The robot can present instructions, games and social scenarios through structured sessions.

LuxAI supplies content and applications for autism support and special-needs education, including communication, emotional recognition and daily-living exercises. Researchers can program the platform through its development interfaces for human-robot interaction studies. QTrobot is commercially deployed in schools, clinics, homes and research institutions.
