As we had announced a few days ago, Xiaomi was about to launch a new version of the Ninebot Lu Meng, and so it was today on the Chinese online store of JingDong.
The new Lu Meng, apparently both a self-balanced hoverboard and a personal robot that can go around independently, the switch between the two modes is instantaneously depending on your needs. The robot will then help the various users by teaching them how to use it through pre-recorded voice messages (in Chinese, of course).
The Ninebot Lu Meng No. 9 is equipped with an Intel Atom processor, like those found in tablets, and is assisted by a system of five cameras and five microphones that allow it to have a 3D representation of the surrounding environment. Thanks to investments in research and development also in the software side, the Ninebot is in fact capable, through the use of algorithms and a multitude of sensors, of having its own intelligence and being able to carry out even complex actions without the help of a human being. .
For example, the robot will be able to follow the owner around the house, office or even on the street, and plan a route to get to a certain point, avoiding any obstacle automatically.

With all those cameras on board, it's expected to be able to shoot some home movies and indeed it does. The Ninebot Lu Meng No. 9 can record high-resolution videos with even a three-axis optical stabilization system, and can pan side or up and down with a range of about 150 degrees for the first and 180 degrees for the second. . Obviously it will also be possible to check the video on your smartphone live.
The Lu Meng is a high-tech toy that is suitable for all ages. From children who want a "playmate" and a fun means of transport, to those who would perhaps use it for more professional purposes.
Finally, a detail does not give poco is the ability to add modules to the Ninebot, making it a highly customizable device.
The Xiaomi Ninebot Lu Meng No. 9 is now on sale on JingDong at the price of 9988 yuan, that is about 1250 euros.
