A lot of \u201chumanoid\u201d robots on the market today look decidedly un-human-like\u2014including one that recently sparred with Dallas Mavericks star Kyrie Irving<\/a>. But advanced humanoid robots from Toronto-based Realbotix look amazingly like real people, with proprietary vision technology that enables them to interact with both workforces and public visitors.<\/p>\n

Realbotix (TSX-V: XBOT) announced today that one of its robots will power workforce training, stakeholder engagement, and interactive experiences at Ericsson\u2019s Imagine Studio experience center in Plano, north of Dallas.<\/p>\n

Realbotix said it\u2019s pioneering \u201chuman-centric robotics\u201d with patented technologies that enable lifelike expressions, vision, and social interaction. The robot model being deployed in Plano will serve as \u201ca dynamic, adaptable human\u2013robot interface\u201d for real-world applications, the company said.<\/p>\n

In one application, the robot will provide local Ericsson employees with personalized development pathways, making career growth more accessible and data-driven.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the Plano experience center, the robot will act as a studio greeter and engagement tool, offering an immersive, interactive visitor experience. Ericsson intends the interactions to reflect innovation in conversational AI and robotics, Realbotix said.<\/p>\n

The robot will also be used by Ericsson for campus outreach and career guidance, inspiring students by delivering \u201cpersonalized career guidance\u201d and showcasing \u201cpathways for success\u201d in the tech industry.<\/p>\n
