PANBO is more than a robot. It is a real-world character experience that connects robotics, AI interaction, storytelling and on-site operation.
A recognizable persona built for long-term storytelling and visitor engagement.
Movement, voice response, conversation and photo experiences bring the character to life.
PANBO has been used as an operating sample for robot-character experiences in real visitor environments.
Events, photography and social content turn physical interaction into shareable media.
PANBO is T-MIB's operating experiment in turning robot hardware into a character, an attraction and a repeatable real-world experience. The project explores how AI and robotics can move beyond demonstrations and become part of tourism, events, hospitality and spatial experiences.
Robot × Character IP × AI × Real-world Operation
PANBO combines physical movement, AI conversation, character design and on-site operation into one repeatable visitor experience.
A physical robot body creates presence, distance, surprise and emotion in real space.
AI dialogue turns each encounter into a different conversation instead of a fixed performance.
Character identity, stories and interaction rules can accumulate into a long-term relationship with visitors.
The project is designed for real venues: staffing, safety, charging, performance flow and content operation matter as much as AI.
A roaming character for parks, resorts and destination experiences.
A photo-ready interactive presence for launches, exhibitions and brand activations.
A welcoming character for entrances, waiting areas and family-oriented spaces.
Physical encounters become photos, short videos and stories that continue online.
Stable teleoperation and remote observation for real venues.
Faster, more natural character dialogue with context and personality.
Use cameras and spatial intelligence to understand people, routes and surroundings.
Build continuity across repeated encounters without exposing unnecessary personal data.
For events, tourism, demonstrations and collaboration inquiries.
