Ubtech Alpha 2 Humanoid Robot Unboxing, Setup and Review

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 31 ก.ค. 2024
- Vlog #7 - UBTECH Robotics headquartered in Shenzhen, China launched their second generation humanoid robot in late 2015 - Alpha 2. I was lucky to meet the team at CES 2016 and fell in love with the Alpha 2 robot. The Alpha 2 is a small humanoid robot “designed for practical household service and companionship.” Alpha 2 has a similar design to many other hobby-class humanoids such as the Nao, but three things stand definitely stand out which are - it has potential for social interaction, well built and for sale at an amazingly low price. Check out my video on Alpha 2 and enjoy.
The initial video was filed on my iPhone 7 and finished off with my G7X Mark 2. Hope you enjoy and subscribe for more.

19:37 “Oh, ok... I got that one...(Lame...)” “I beg your pardon?”
Lol
I want him so bad! He is adorable! I'm learning 3 languages that he can help with!
I loved this robot
Beautiful
Esto en realidad sirve como compañía o es solo un juguete ???
Does Alpha 2 can speak more languages? Pls answer me
Impressive hardware. Lacking in software. My AIBO ERS-7 with Mind 3 is from 2005 and makes up for it's now outdated hardware with amazing software. Imagine where SONY would have been now with AIBO and other possible robots if the new CEO at the time didn't shut down the entire robot devision. In all these years the only recent robot that comes somewhat close having a personality is Cozmo. One of the biggest advantages that AIBO and Cozmo share is the impression being alive by anatomous behaviour. And despite the more advanced servos in there AIBO still moves very fast. Especially when autonomous. It looks around, tracks things and especially it's head and neck can turn virtually instantly with almost a jerking motion, making him look alert and alive. He's always doing something. It's nice to see robots are finally slowly uprising in the consumer entertainment sector, but AIBO was way ahead of it's time and still is to it's day. It feels like so much time and progress (years) has been lost and now other companies are playing catch up. Genibo also tried to make a robot dog with sort of anatomous behaviour, but it never reached the charm and realism of AIBO or the more recent Cozmo. This is so vital for consumers who want a robot that feels and acts like a companion right out of the box.
+Pony Fox - Excellent comment and hopefully you're subscribe as I'd love to see more of these comments. I have to agree, the Sony AIBO's were definitely way advance for their years. I've looked online and they are still holding the price and highly valuable. It is my understanding that Sony cut production of the AIBO because they robot cost more to make than they were selling it for? Or maybe people just didn't know the value of the tech and couldn't fork up the money - LOL. I'd love to see a new modern version created - I'm sure they'd rock the market if released. Alpha 2 is quite lame for today's modern day robots in comparison to the AIBO released from 1999 to 2005. You'll see in my latest video of CES that their releasing Lynx at a lower price point. That might be worth it.
Never heard of the Lynx unless I read it in the comments here somewhere. Going to check your CES video on that then. The reason why AIBO ceased production was because AIBO actually branched off from their main robot project: QRIO. It went head to head with HONDA's Asimo robot. AIBO was an experiment to see how it would do on the commercial market and was a great success. Billions and billions went into the robotic department altogether and the new Sony CEO wanted a different strategy for the company at the time by focussing on flat screen TV's and other now popular consumer devices. Although I am not a business person, I still find it a great shame. Especially as you now see robots more and more in uprising.
Sony reopened the robot division and we should be hearing soon what the new robot will be
wow! thats awesome. Thanks for sharing that. Will definitely keep my eyes out. Hopefully they'll demonstrate something at CES 2018.
Yiff me daddy
Will you be doing a follow up video on your Alpha 2? Would be cool to see what you have learned and your thoughts now on the unit.
Paul Nielsen - Hey Paul - I’ll be releasing a video on the Lynx this weekend as I’m at CES. Lynx is much much better and well developed. Check out my Instagram “dillonchanvlog” for photos
Dillon Chan I can’t wait! I have been thinking of buying one of those. In fact spoke with UBTech today asking questions. Would love to see mobility, avatar, and security mode, hint hint... have fun at the show and thanks again for the great videos!
Paul Nielsen I highly recommend you do not buy the Ubtech Alpha 2. There is no support of it by Ubtech and it will sell in the range of 2-3000$. The Lynx is available on Amazon and from my opinion pretty awesome but it’s not open source.
Dillon Chan that would be the one I get after talking with UBTech yesterday. I can’t wait to see what you come up with this weekend! Did you see the Buddy robot at the show? If so what did you think?
Dillon Chan so how is the Alpha 2 and Lynx since time has passed?
i like this so as
How much does Last its battery?
how to buy alpha 2?And cost?
You channel is amazing
But why too less subscribers ??
What software version was alpha running in this demo? Mine understands hello alpha, tell me a story .... and not much else. I'm wondering if it's an older firmware. Any info would be appreciated.
My firmware was totally old. It was the initial release 2.0
Oh yeah that's worth $1,000 it's the entertainment of that ain't going to wear off in an hour at most those loud motors ain't going to get annoying you're a genius buddy for buying this thing
My favorite robot🤖💙 I like also nao robot
OMG!HE SOOO CUTE
gracias
Where did you buy it
Where do you get it
yes
Super smart family AI mine costed $1'200.00. how do I get the app for the robot?
He looks like a baby Nao 🥺
Where did you get this? I can"t find one anywhere:(
DONT BUY ONE THEY ARE BROKEN, I bought one and it dosent work at all; thats why they dont sell them any where.
En donde lo copraste??
I prefer the design of the first one...
+Samuel I agree - I saw that one at CES and it had hands
Its my dream
How much cost for it in India
It kind of reminds me of the Nao Robot
That is one expensive children's toy that is pretty dang useless. It certainly can't do what the pitch video had claimed. No surprises there though. Glad you're happy with it though.
how much is that it looks smart it knows everything when you tell it
The Alpha 2 at release started at $499 in an indiegogo campaign then quickly raised to $3000 on the market. The campaign and support immediately died as the company is releasing the Lynx - you can see that in my CES Video. I’ll also be visiting CES next week and will Post more videos
nice
But it thinks it self that means it’s android
how much is it?
Anyone know the name of these songs??
How much is it
where can I buy it?
+Milda Stro unfortunately they are sold out. You should wait for the Lynx which will be much better. Same design, movement but works better. Price around 499-799. This Alpha 2 is open sourced so sells in the upwards $1,500-2500
So what are you going to do with it? Rob banks, make it fold laundry, make it dance until the servos freeze up?
Sold it
Where can I buy it please tell me
Lynx will be available for sale soon. Alpha 2 is no longer on sale.
Whats good about a dancing robot that can tell stories?
+Jaeger nothing really. It's fun for the first hour then you'll get bored of it. If you are into programming, I guess that's where it would be fun.
I love you alpha you so cute
Hi, please send me the link so I can buy it
+MUNDO DOS GAMES they are no longer selling them. Best bet is eBay. Subscribe to my vlog and watch my day 3 update. You'll see a new version coming soon.
Were did you bought that Robot?
I had originally purchased 8 through indiegogo campaign. They have been discontinued.
Oh, joy!~
It doesn't even have a male voice?!
Cozmo and/or Vector are better than this in my opinion.
How to buy NAO Robot?And Cost?
Tell me Sir,
please
NAO Robots will cost roughly between 8000-9000 USD
My only robot is MiP.
Alpha 2 is a better dancer than me....

Robot Chef That Can Cook 2,000 Meals Set To Go On Sale In 2017
Awesome, I'll have to check it out. thx for sharing.
I bet that thing won't last one year to one of the motors in the leg wears out I mean listen how loud it is when it moves
Ele fala português?
Cuanto vale
Lol the volume controls.
When the bot starts screaming about the agony of being alive you can pet its head and go "shhh" and it quiets down against its will
what's the price of alpha 2🤔
Originally when released in Indiegogo it was $499, once the robot was launched the price jumped to $2799-3400. Now you can find a lynx for $799 on Amazon but it’s closed sources. Alpha 2 was an open source bot and didn’t do what UBTECH promised.
@@dillonchanvlog 799
@@dillonchanvlog rasclat I'm still tight with siri
one question......is it water proof/resistance?
I wish but I don't think so
ok
alpha is a cool little dude :)
the joke: what is it called when a cat wins a dog show?? a cat has trophy (catastrophe) !!
can i buy it somewhere?
+Tom Göpfert - Best place right now would be eBay. BUT I don't recommend you buy the Alpha 2 though. If you don't care so much about programming but want the robot and its functionality - check out my video on CES as I show Lynx - Ubtech will be releasing Lynx soon for $799 and integrates with Amazon Alexa. As for the "Alpha 2" the features rarely work. You can search on Indiegogo.com and read all the frustrated comments from backers.
Anyways Lynx at $799 will be consumer base and launched this year on Amazon. Once released, I'll likely have a review.
+Tom Göpfert if you're subscribed, you'll be able to see when I do the next unboxing.
can it work without internet
+Aaqib Yaseen Hi - yes the Alpha can work in basic mode without a network connection. It might annoy you by noting it's not connected to the network.
Dillon Chan Hello, hoping you can help me. Mine stopped connecting to WiFi after latest update. Now I cannot get it to scan the QR code...I’ve tried everything with no luck? Any advice? Can it be done without manually without having to scan? Thanks
This is almost like NAO
+Halloween Reviewer fully agreed. But priced a lot cheaper at starting offer $499
Dillon Chan yeah because NAO is $9000
Looks similar but nothing like NAO beyond that. For some reason the won’t sell nao to the public anymore. Wish they would and drop the price to say 1500 then they’d sell
You need to lower the music's volume or increase your's while you talking
donde lo venden
jose tercero eBay pendejin ponte verga
Se pueden encontrar en indiegogo.com
I'm going to attach this thing onto to my back and attach helicopters propellers and jet wings to it and call it Clank
+Suki Nu hahaha good one 😂
I have a one
Any undated to it since launched?
what is this price? ?
This was launched on indiegogo for $499, then increased to $3200. They are no longer for sale but LYNX can be found on Amazon for $799.
why they not for sale? what happened?
Looks like a Chinese knock-off of Nao
hahah you're totally right. I guess the only difference is this is much less expensive. I'd rather a NAO though.
That's exactly what it is. The company that made it is Chinese and its a load cheaper than Nao. This robot is worth my whole year's budget of tampons, and I use a Diva cup...
Grub
It works the other way around in looks
Guys this robot should be like 7009 million money but it not even that much money lol
Wait how much did I cost
Initially launched on indiegogo for $499 then quickly rise to $3000 once they were shipped.
Thank you
I just orderd mine its alot of money but i hope its worth it
How much alpha robot
They are no longer for sale. Started around $499 on Indiegogo and once the product hit market they sold for around 2400-3000. You can find the lynx which is a closed source for around $799. Alpha 2 was open source.
he speaks?
You realize for $1,000 you get a PlayStation 5 and a nice television or a PS4 pro and a nice television if you can't find the PS5 for MSRP
I thought, maybe he could have a small screen on his chest.
Olá! Meu nome e Paulo Ricardo eu sou do Brasil e gosto muito de robor e eu sou seu maior fãn e eu queria muito um desse por que aqui no brasil e muito caro o alpha2 eu mim apaixone por esses alphas tinha como doar um desses pra mim? caraca eu vejo seus video são de mais
Paulo Ricardo cara compra um furby ele é mtmtmt loko
Two Words.....Vector Cozmo...
Does it speak dutch?
+Roy Leijten Right now just English and Chinese. Hey are working on developing the software for additional languages.
+Roy Leijten no Dutch unfortunately. Maybe in future updates
Jammer
can i have it plz
Why not build me - your own ChatGPT Humanoid ..
3:30
Its voice is not that clear...
worth $99,,, not a cent more,,,, heaps of free software out there does the same thing for (( FREE )).... the only difference is some servos and plastic,,,, lol
+ANGIE TAN lol the servos them selves are $79 each. So you'll say that Nao is worth $99 vs the $9k price tag?
+ANGIE TAN NAO is a similar robot - the servos, and backend engine is worth more than $99. Yes the software sucks and I totally agree but know robots and what they cost this was priced right.
I only care about the conversation part. Can you have a meaningful conversation with these robots?? Do they have access to some databases??
@@dillonchanvlog 99
The price for that is actually cheap
I'm Brazilian, is there any way I can get someone to send me a link that sells Alpha 2?
+Pedro R7 Hey - Ubtech stop production of the Alpha 2 (open source). They will be releasing the LYNX (closed source) by mid year which will integrate Amazon Alexa. Check out my vlog in CES 2017 for a view of the LYNX. Lynx will cost around $799 on release.
Time 12:43 - th-cam.com/video/dth6jSVTsw4/w-d-xo.html
Alpha 2 can be found on eBay by many sellers looking to get rid of it. Prices will range from $1000-2999. All the same item, but look out for v4.1 is the latest
Cheers
Once Lynx is released, I'll do an unboxing + another robot I will be receiving hopefully by mid August to ensure you're subscribed.
Dillon Chan Thank you so much Brazil, and a piece of shit. 😂
+Pedro R7 LOL totally - not worth the money so I don't recommend buying.
Even if they re-release with Alexa - given that Alexa is free now why bother. It means that their AI failed which is what they were truly trying to sell and since you can put Alexa on a Raspberry Pi the same thing is available for about $50.
In the ad its beter
How much is this robot
It can dance with you and it can help you make you're homework but I think that's cheating 😅
And it can help you how to fix 🔩 things ❤
Looks like something Tomy would make 😕
Alpha is mean dude. Seriously
How many does that cost
+Giovanni gamingkid - they were launched on indiegogo for $499, after the initial phase went to $1349 then $2999
Cool ! I'm gonna buy it
portuguese linguage?
I want to see it hand you a screwdriver you know why you're fixing the sinker walk around the house you know from one room to another waking people up
i hate how 13 min of the video is him dancing no hate tho im just saying
Got cute face
When a robot has better dance moves than you :S
Oi
And how much did this thing cost like $1,000 and it can barely f****** move I'd like to see it walk around the house like on the video you know the promotional video where they got dummies to give their money yeah I want to see it walk around the house like it like it's supposed to I mean it's slow as it moves it it takes it forever to walk you know halfway through a normal size room I want to see it help you fix the sink and I'll hand you a screwdriver
only if his hands were articulated....
+Jerseylance1 the initial design from ubtech had moving fingers. This designed was proposed at CES 2015 but when Alpha was launched they dropped it out of the design. I think because where was such a huge difference in price point - ex Alpha 2 and Nao 2k vs 8k
+Jerseylance1 totally agree. The version at CES had fingers. Not sure they they dropped it from the final design.
Hi alpha ilove you so cute
If he have tail he will be freiza hhhh😂
wen can i get one that can make me a pizza then ill be like aaaaarhhh
+dramitex dramitexen with this one - never lol
Oi Bralil
Ours arrived 3 weeks ago. To be totally honest, Do not buy one. Our will not move, lift it arms or anything like that Even worse
the tech support sucks. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE ALPHA 2 FROM UBTECH!
joseph ashmore buy cozmo
I'm hoping the Lynx will be much better than the Alpha 2
I only care about the conversation part. Can you have a meaningful conversation with these robots?? Do they have access to some databases??
