Mirokaï by Enchanted Tools vs Q5 by Robot Era

Mirokaï measures 123 cm x 52.5 cm x 50 cm and weighs 26 kg, using a ball-bot base for omnidirectional agility and animation-inspired features like projector face for emotional interaction. Q5 stands at 165 x 50 x 52 cm and 70 kg, providing a more imposing humanoid form factor better suited for physical tasks in care and logistics. Mirokaï's lighter build and 26 degrees of freedom prioritize social engagement, while Q5's structure supports heavier payloads in varied environments.

Mirokaï achieves 3.2 km/h (0.8-0.9 m/s) via visual SLAM with social awareness for indoor spaces, leveraging its spherical base for swift, agile movement. Q5 reaches 1.5 m/s using indoor SLAM, visual SLAM, and LiDAR mapping, enabling faster traversal in complex indoor settings. Both support autonomous navigation, but Q5's higher speed suits dynamic logistics while Mirokaï emphasizes safe human proximity.

Mirokaï equips 2 RGBD cameras, 2 infrared, 9 time-of-flight, 8 torque sensors, 6 ultrasound, 4 microphones, 3 IMUs, and hand sensors for 360-degree awareness and manipulation. Q5 uses RGB cameras, stereo cameras, LiDAR, ultrasonic sensors, IMU, gyroscope, force, and temperature sensors for comprehensive environmental perception. Mirokaï's specialized array excels in social and visual tasks, whereas Q5's LiDAR enhances precise mapping.

Mirokaï supports autonomous navigation, teleoperation, and learned behaviors via custom Linux OS and ROS2, with real-time speech recognition and multilingual interaction. Q5 offers teleoperation, autonomous control, and learned behaviors through ROS2 and proprietary OS with Python/C++ APIs. Both enable AI-driven adaptability, with Mirokaï focusing on emotional engagement and Q5 on broad application versatility.

Mirokaï supports 4-hour operations in practical use for social logistics tasks. Both emphasize long-term power for continuous indoor operation without frequent recharges.

Mirokaï excels in guiding visitors, carrying trays, repetitive manipulation, and social engagement in public spaces like hospitals and hotels. Q5 applies to elder care, child interaction, retail service, research, logistics, and hospitality with higher payload handling. Mirokaï suits HRI-focused environments, while Q5 addresses physically demanding multi-domain needs.

Mirokaï runs custom Linux OS, ROS2 compatible, with Python and C++ APIs for programming autonomous and learned behaviors. Q5 uses ROS2, proprietary OS, and Python/C++ APIs for teleoperation and AI integration. Both platforms facilitate developer access and extensibility in service robotics applications.

Mirokaï costs US $30,000+ plus monthly maintenance fees, targeting ongoing service in specialized social settings. Q5 costs $75,000-$95,000 as a one-time purchase, offering value for diverse logistics and care deployments. Pricing reflects Mirokaï's subscription model versus Q5's upfront investment.
