PROTOTYPE
TCLCES 2025 modular companion robot with Baby Core, Drive Core base, and portable Mini Core for chat, home patrol, and smart-home control.

About AiMe
AiMe (also styled Ai Me, pronounced Amy) is TCL's modular AI companion concept, unveiled at CES 2025 and still shown as a prototype at later trade shows such as IFA 2025. Official TCL Design materials frame it as a family companion rather than a chore humanoid.
The system splits into three detachable parts: Baby Core (expressive digital eyes, stubby arms, voice and emotion cues), Drive Core (spaceship-style wheeled base and docking station with Italian Alcantara trim for rolling around the home), and Mini Core (portable camera/mic unit for photos, video, and on-the-go connection). Demos highlight chat, bedtime stories, smile-triggered auto-vlogs, night patrol, and appliance control through TCL's smart-home stack, with planned Google Gemini / TCL AIOS language features.
TCL has not published MSRP, battery numbers, dimensions, or a consumer ship date. HomeBotRadar tracks AiMe so you can compare concept mobile companions like Samsung Ballie against buyable desk pets such as EMO.
