Mobile World Congress

A close-up of the Intuition Robotics ElliQ 3, or a similar collaborative social robot like the Samsung Ballie 2.0, is displayed on a modern wooden desk at the Smart Living pavilion during the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, on March 5, 2026. The compact tabletop robot, featuring a stylized smiling face on its 5.5-inch OLED display, is designed as an AI companion for health and wellness management. It is powered by the MediaTek MT8797 octa-core processor, optimized for low-power edge AI, allowing it to process natural language commands locally via the Gemini Nano model. The robot integrates a wide-angle 13-megapixel camera for gesture recognition, video calls, and fall detection within the home. Its hardware includes a far-field 3-microphone array, a high-fidelity 10W full-range speaker, and LED light rings that pulse in sync with its AI-driven expressions. The demonstration showcases the ElliQ 3 interacting with a visitor, highlighting its ability to connect with smart home devices, manage medication schedules, and provide cognitive stimulation using conversational AI.
