UBTECH Just Launched the Cutest Stormtrooper Bot Ever

When it comes to the end of the world, there are a few theories: nuclear warfare, environmental destruction, and the AI-engineered downfall of humanity. Don’t laugh. These are all real threats and not some made-up sci-fi crap. Luckily, we’re at least still pretty far away from a true AI disaster because what we’re making is just too darn cute.


Don’t believe us? Check out UBTECH Robotics’ latest creation – a Star Wars First Order Stormtrooper Robot that is quite possibly the most adorable bot in the whole wide universe.

Geared with augmented reality (AR), this bot gives users control over a stormtrooper like never before. It has a voice command feature, so you can verbally tell this little droid to do cool stuff like sentry patrolling – yes, this fella over here will actually stand guard for you. And oh, it has facial recognition to boot as well.

All in all, this is a great collectible for Star Wars fans. The bot’s AR app allows you to play an immersive game where you’re protecting the First Order from the Resistance in the comfort of your home, and the fact that you can verbally command attacks is pretty damn cool if you ask us.

Do take note that you need the minimum Encryption Standard of 128 bits and to make sure that no personal data is saved to the robot or app. Wouldn’t want any hackers stealing that precious info, would you?
Anyhow. UBTECH’s Star Wars First Order Stormtrooper Robot is retailing for $529 and will launch by the end of November 2017. Pre-order yours now at banleong.com or head to selected retail partners like Challenger, Courts, and Harvey Norman.
