Mint Incorporation Limited (NASDAQ:MIMI) announced the successful delivery of the first prototype of its FLOKI Minibot M1, an artificial intelligence-powered companion robot developed in partnership with Rice Robotics Holdings Limited, signaling the Hong Kong-based company’s expansion into the consumer robotics market.The milestone represents Mint’s official move into the fast-growing business-to-consumer robotics segment as part of a broader strategy to diversify beyond its established interior design and fit-out operations and deepen its focus on AI and robotics technologies.The FLOKI Minibot M1 is designed as an intelligent personal companion combining personality-driven AI with practical everyday functions. Features include smart reminders, proactive notifications, conversational interaction, concierge-style assistance, and educational tutoring capabilities. The company said the robot aims to stand out through adaptive personalization, allowing it to develop unique interaction styles tailored to individual users.Mr. Damian Chan, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Mint, said: “We are immensely proud of the progress achieved with the FLOKI Minibot M1. Its delivery marks a significant step forward in our strategic entry into the B2C robotics market. Consumer demand for AI-powered companions is accelerating rapidly, and we believe the FLOKI Minibot M1 is uniquely positioned to meet this need by integrating advanced AI-driven features with a deeply engaging and personalized user experience.”Mint said the product positions the company to benefit from rapid expansion in the AI robotics sector, particularly across the Asia-Pacific region. Planned future enhancements include sector-specific applications targeting education, hospitality, and entertainment markets, subject to continued development and commercialization efforts.The prototype was jointly developed by Axonex Intelligence Limited, Mint’s wholly owned subsidiary, and Rice Robotics Limited, a company known for delivery robotics solutions. The collaboration combines Mint’s research and development capabilities with Rice Robotics’ commercial deployment experience in AI-enabled robotics systems.The FLOKI Minibot M1 prototype was showcased at the British Education Training and Technology Show in the United Kingdom earlier in 2026. Axonex and Rice Robotics have signed an agreement to deliver up to 800 units by the end of the first quarter of 2026. Mint and certain investors have also agreed in principle to increase their proposed investment in a planned joint venture with Rice Robotics Holdings Limited to HK$15 million from HK$10 million, subject to final documentation and customary closing conditions.Mr. Chan added, “This milestone is a testament to Mint’s dedication to innovation and value creation. Our successful collaboration with Rice Robotics empowers us to deliver solutions that fundamentally enhance how people interact with technology in their daily lives. As we scale production and expand our market presence, we are confident that the FLOKI Minibot M1 will become a cornerstone of our robotics portfolio, driving top-line growth and delivering long-term value for our shareholders.”The launch aligns with Mint’s broader strategy to capitalize on growth in the “Physical AI” market, which focuses on intelligent systems combining hardware and software to operate autonomously in real-world environments. With commercialization progressing and additional robotics products under development, the company aims to strengthen its position in the Asia-Pacific AI robotics ecosystem while continuing to expand its innovation capabilities.More about Mint Incorporation LimitedMint Incorporation Limited (NASDAQ:MIMI) is a Hong Kong-based company focused on artificial intelligence, robotics, and interior design services.
