Yanxi Technology's Yansyn-X2 Robot Demonstrates On-Command Crying at Shanghai Conference
Yanxi Technology unveiled the Yansyn-X2 at the 2026 Inclusion Conference in Shanghai, featuring a microfluidic system that produces tears on command. The robot uses AI to analyze conversational tone and trigger bionic facial expressions, aiming to enhance human-robot interaction naturalness. While the current model is stationary, it can track people and gesture, with future versions planned to use bionic muscles for smoother movements. This development reflects a broader industry trend toward emotionally responsive robots, alongside recent advancements in speed and utility seen at CES 2026 and the Beijing World Humanoid Robot Games.
