Sanbot Mini ELF RETAIL

Sanbot Mini ELF RETAIL Desktop Interaction Robot

The Sanbot Mini ELF RETAIL is a desktop robot edition combining a touch display, articulated face and neck, an RGB camera and audio hardware. Its form is suited to evaluating interaction at a counter or another fixed location. It is not a mobile robot, a delivery system or a full humanoid platform, and its edition name does not imply a complete retail software solution.

RETAIL-specific configuration

The manufacturer's RETAIL sensor column lists an RGB camera, microphone, PIR sensing and infrared distance measurement. It does not list a 3D camera. The PRO edition's additional camera should therefore not be included in a RETAIL specification or assumed available for depth-dependent application development.

RETAIL does not support the microphone and camera touch-disable switches. This is explicit in the edition table and differs from PRO and BASE. Generic Mini ELF promotional wording about touch-controlled camera and microphone disabling must not be applied to RETAIL. If local touch-disable controls are a project requirement, evaluate the edition choice before requesting a final configuration.

Display and physical interaction

The 10.1-inch 1080P capacitive touchscreen supports 10-point touch input. Articulated face and neck assemblies provide adjustable presentation angles. Sanbot describes the family as able to adjust the display toward a user through sensing; the chosen application and installation determine how that behaviour is made available in practice.

The listed general touch-button functions include backlight control, wake-up and volume adjustment. These controls should not be confused with the microphone and camera touch-disable switches that RETAIL lacks. Review the actual operator interface rather than assuming that every touch control on another edition is present here.

Audio and lighting resources

RETAIL uses the published dual-speaker arrangement: two 12W, 2-inch bass-reflex full-range speakers. Its LED lighting supports 256 colors according to the specification. A suitable application can be evaluated around these audiovisual resources, but the hardware listing alone does not promise effective messaging in every environment or a measurable improvement in customer engagement.

Connections and installation footprint

• RJ45 wired networking.
• Dual-band Wi-Fi: IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n at 2.4GHz and 5GHz.
• Four USB expansion ports and one Type-C port.
• Published power supply: AC220/110V.
• Listed product mass: 5kg.

The source gives dimensions of 30x53x28cm at the standard angle and 30x59x30cm at the maximum angle. These are preserved in the published sequence without assigning length, width or height labels that the table does not establish. Assess both positions when choosing a counter location, especially where nearby objects could restrict articulation.

Expansion connections are not proof of universal accessory support. A proposed peripheral requires confirmation of its software interface, driver availability, connection needs and power requirements. Similarly, a supported Wi-Fi standard identifies a network connection method, not an assurance that every online service or application remains available.

Software functions and deployment review

The Mini ELF performance page describes voice-related functions, face detection, face recognition and face tracking as technologies the platform can integrate. Their operation is dependent on configuration, software and integration. Do not assume that RETAIL includes ready-configured identity recognition, an active online service or a prebuilt application for a particular store workflow.

The published platform is ROS1.2 with Android 7.1. These are historical manufacturer listings and do not constitute a statement of current security updates, ongoing support or compatibility with current applications. Confirm the software image, SDK access where required, available documentation and development responsibilities for the proposed project.

For a public-facing counter installation, define the intended interaction before choosing software. A screen-led information demonstration is one possible use to assess, rather than a promised built-in feature. Review what information an application collects and how staff will operate the installation. RETAIL's lack of the specified touch-disable switches must remain part of that edition-specific assessment.

Optional infrared configuration and quotation

Temperature measuring is an optional configuration, not a standard RETAIL feature. Any enquiry must establish availability and per-edition compatibility. Refer to it only as optional infrared auxiliary screening; it is not medical detection or diagnosis and carries no claim of clinical accuracy or pathogen detection. Do not treat it as included merely because it appears within the Mini ELF product family.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Mini ELF RETAIL?

It is a desktop interaction robot edition with a 10.1-inch touchscreen, articulated presentation, an RGB camera and speakers. RETAIL identifies the edition, not an autonomous mobile platform or a guaranteed store application.

Does RETAIL have camera and microphone touch-disable switches?

No. The edition table explicitly states that RETAIL does not support those switches. The corresponding PRO and BASE controls and generic family-level promotional claims must not be carried over to this edition.

Is a 3D camera included?

No. RETAIL lists an RGB camera, microphone, PIR and infrared distance measurement. A 3D camera is listed for PRO only, so projects needing that hardware should review the appropriate edition.

How does RETAIL support interactive applications?

Its screen, audio hardware, sensors and articulated assemblies provide hardware resources. Voice and facial functions described by the vendor depend on software configuration and integration rather than being guaranteed outcomes for every installation.

What is the benefit of the fixed desktop format?

It groups visual, touch and audio interaction at a defined location. Whether that format is useful depends on the content, user flow and operating environment; no staffing or sales result is guaranteed.

Where can I buy this edition?

Request a quotation specifying Mini ELF RETAIL and the software or peripherals required. Supply is subject to availability. Confirm any optional infrared configuration separately, including whether it is compatible with this edition.

Summary

Mini ELF RETAIL provides the family's desktop display and audiovisual format with an RGB-based sensor set. Its lack of microphone and camera touch-disable switches is a defining selection consideration, alongside confirmation of the intended software and optional configuration.
