Enchanted Tools, a visionary French startup, has taken GITEX 2023 by storm with the unveiling of its cutting-edge Mirokaï robots, showcasing a remarkable fusion of technology and creativity.
In an era where robots serve a singular purpose – to improve our world – Enchanted Tools is bidding farewell to intimidating machines and welcoming us into an era defined by enchanting robots. By seamlessly blending elements of anime, artificial intelligence, and mechatronics, Enchanted Tools is on a mission to make professionals’ lives easier and users’ experiences happier, reshaping the landscape of robotics in the process.
Driven by an unwavering belief that robotics can be captivating while preserving human touch, Enchanted Tools is pioneering a vision where technology revitalizes our world instead of diminishing our humanity. The company’s innovative solutions have far-reaching applications, spanning across hospitals, schools, nursing homes, airports, trade shows, hotels and restaurants.
Enchanted Tools embarked on the journey of creating the Mirokaï by tapping into the rich tradition and expertise of French animation movies, coupled with the collaboration of character design experts who breathed life into a delightful alterity. Firmly rooted in the belief that art must serve as a wellspring of inspiration for engineering, the Parisian teams have crafted a captivating narrative universe and a character backstory that resonates deeply with the founder, Jérôme Monceaux.
“The Mirokaï robots represent a breakthrough in logistics robotics tailored for social environments, acting as professional assistants capable of seamlessly handling objects while maintaining direct interaction with end-users,” said Monceaux. “Their primary testing ground, currently in beta, is the hospital environment, where they excel in tasks such as pushing, pulling and transporting trolleys, medical equipment, medication and food. This allows nurses to devote more time to providing enhanced care to patients.”
Key features of the Mirokaï robots include:
- Anime-Inspired Design: The robots feature a distinctive appearance that defies the conventional cold and sterile imagery often associated with humanoid projects. By collaborating with professional cartoonists, Enchanted Tools has cultivated a narrative universe, enhancing the robots appeal and aiming to infuse everyday experiences with a sense of wonder.
- Absolute Simplicity, Total Efficiency: Instead of attempting to mimic every aspect of human dexterity, the Mirokaï robots excel through their simplistic yet effective approach of standardized handles. This contrasts with robots tasked with handling every conceivable object, often leading to inefficiencies. Enchanted Tools is committed to a 100 per cent success rate for robot deployments, with handles that can adapt to a wide range of objects for seamless manipulation.
- Groundbreaking Agility: The Mirokaï robots’ rolling globe design enables rapid and unhindered mobility which is crucial for effective collaboration with humans while easily navigating their surroundings.
Enchanted Tools is on a mission to redefine the world of robotics, ushering in an era where technology inspires awe and enhances our daily lives.
