[0061] More specifically, the hand 11 is movably connected to the trunk 1, and the leg 122 is fixedly connected to the trunk 1; More specifically, the tail 13 is installed in the tail mounting seat, which is fixedly connected to the rear side of the trunk 1, and the hands 11 are movably connected to the trunk 1 through hand latches, which are arranged in hand mounting holes on both sides of the trunk. The trunk 1 and its hands 11, legs 12 and tail 13 are covered with a trunk rubber cover 14.

[0062] The working principle of this embodiment is that when the AI ​​child companion robot receives external action signals from the angle sensor 527, the angle position sensor 316 and the head turning sensor, or sound signals from the voice receiver 71, or electronic signals from the manual control component 73 and the USB interface 74, the processor 7 will identify the signal content and transmit corresponding control signals.

[0063] When the control signal is transmitted to the sound generator 72 , the sound generator 72 will output corresponding voice, music or other sounds to the user through the plurality of sound holes 24 on the back of the head 2 .

[0064] When the control signal is transmitted to the display device 4 , the display screen 41 will display the corresponding content, which is output to the user through the convex lens 42 disposed outside the display screen 41 .

[0065] When the control signal is transmitted to the ear body 3, the ear body driving mechanism 31 drives the ear body 3 to swing, so as to realize the simulated movement of the ear.

[0066] When the control signal is transmitted to the chin 5, the radial driving component 53 drives the chin 5 to translate radially, and the swing driving mechanism 52 drives the chin 5 to swing. The two types of motion are superimposed to realize the simulated motion of the mouth.

[0067] When the control signal is transmitted to the head rotation mechanism 6 , the head rotation mechanism 6 will drive the head 2 to rotate circumferentially to achieve simulated movement of the head 2 .

[0068] Through voice interaction, display interaction, and action interaction superimposed with multiple simulated motions, rich interactive effects are achieved through ultimate collaboration.
