Introducing the Advanced NEX Semi-Humanoid Robot and FLOKI Minibot M1 in Hong Kong’s Premier Tech Expo
HONG KONG, April 13, 2026 – Mint Incorporation Limited (NASDAQ: MIMI), a Hong Kong-based leader pivoting towards artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics, alongside its established expertise in interior design and fit-out services, proudly announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Axonex Intelligence Limited (“Axonex”), is showcasing its latest AI-driven robotic innovations at the Hong Kong International Creative & Technology Expo (InnoEX). Hosted by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), InnoEX runs from April 13 to 16 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, serving as Asia’s foremost platform for pioneering technology and cross-industry collaboration. This year’s event highlights AI and robotics as central themes, where Axonex is demonstrating its cutting-edge R&D breakthroughs.
Revolutionizing Robotics: The Debut of NEX and Expanded Product Line
At InnoEX, Axonex is presenting six distinct robotic series, with the spotlight on the newly launched NEX semi-humanoid robot. Powered by NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin and integrated with Axonex’s proprietary AX-CORE database, NEX features advanced AI vision recognition and sophisticated grasping algorithms capable of identifying over 100 unique objects, environments, and actions. Its modular design allows independent yet synchronized operation of its wheeled base, torso, arms, and dexterous hands, enabling it to execute intricate manipulation tasks with precision. The robot’s sleek, approachable design was crafted by Axonex’s in-house design team to balance high-tech aesthetics with user-friendly appeal.
Functionally, NEX supports programmable task libraries, scheduled operations, and multiple grasping modes tailored for diverse applications such as souvenir handling, cargo management, and coordinated bimanual tasks-ideal for environments like airports and healthcare facilities. Its versatility extends across sectors including medical care, manufacturing, retail, and exhibition settings, addressing the growing demand for automation in labor-intensive industries.
FLOKI Minibot M1: A Smart Companion for Everyday Life
In collaboration with Rice Robotics, Axonex also introduced the FLOKI Minibot M1 (R-300 chassis), an AI-powered companion robot designed to enhance daily living through personalized interaction. Equipped with features such as intelligent reminders, proactive notifications, natural language conversations, concierge services, and educational support, FLOKI Minibot M1 adapts its communication style to each user, offering a more engaging and intuitive experience than many existing companion robots.
Looking ahead, Axonex plans to tailor FLOKI’s capabilities for specialized sectors including education, hospitality, and entertainment, expanding its role beyond personal assistance. Additionally, the NEO (R-100 chassis), a compact desktop and hanging smart companion robot, is currently in development with potential IP partnerships, aiming for market introduction in the near future.
Comprehensive Robotics Solutions for Diverse Applications
Beyond NEX and FLOKI, Axonex is showcasing its patrol robot series-Model Larry L, Model Max M3, and Model Parry P-designed for security, inspection, and smart building management. These robots feature autonomous navigation, obstacle detection, multi-robot coordination, and advanced surveillance capabilities, including 360-degree panoramic cameras and license plate recognition, suitable for campuses, commercial complexes, and public venues.
Innovative AI Platforms Driving Smart Ecosystems
Complementing its hardware, Axonex unveiled a suite of proprietary AI platforms that enhance robotic functionality across various environments:
- Xero Basic: A home robotics management system enabling seamless integration and control of multi-brand robots, facilitating setup, mapping, monitoring, and task automation.
- Xero Pro: An autonomous ground patrol platform offering continuous surveillance, real-time incident detection, and comprehensive security reporting.
- Optimus: A workplace intelligence platform that aggregates environmental and infrastructure data to optimize operational decision-making.
- Raven: A drone fleet management system supporting aerial monitoring, inspection, and rapid response with AI-assisted flight planning.
- OPUS: An innovative lift control system featuring a patented interface that synchronizes robot vertical transport with elevator operations, ensuring safety and precision.
These platforms represent significant strides in smart living and industrial automation, delivering enhanced efficiency, safety, and intelligence to diverse sectors.
