The AnAn robot joins the 'Robots on the Runway' showcase on September 5 at the Palais am Funkturm. Unlike standard automated assistants, the unit utilizes a full-body tactile sensing system to process touch, providing emotional feedback and physical movement in response to human contact. Designed for long-term companionship, the robot features adaptive memory that tracks user interaction habits to offer proactive support and gentle reminders.
Mind With Heart Robotics Debuts AnAn Panda at IFA Berlin 2026
A CES 2026 Innovation Award honoree is entering the European market as Mind With Heart Robotics brings its AnAn panda companion to Berlin. Following successful distribution deals in Germany and Belgium, the company aims to bridge the gap between affective artificial intelligence and daily elderly care starting this September.
Founder and CEO Dr. Jiaming Zhang confirmed the company is currently scouting additional channel partners across the region to support its expansion. Retail pricing for the units is set between $1,000 and $1,500, with an initial production run of 100 robots ready for immediate distribution. To facilitate regional operations, the firm has established a dedicated after-sales and repair center in Belgium. Beyond personal companionship, a specialized B2B variant of the software provides care providers with secure dashboards to monitor behavioral trends and interaction patterns. Alongside the panda-shaped unit, the company is also introducing its Duncan Series, a companion line developed for both neurodivergent and typically developing children in early education settings.
