Lenovo showcased its AI Workmate concept, an AI-powered robotic arm with a display featuring an eye graphic, at MWC 2026.
The device is designed as a physical AI assistant intended to help with everyday office tasks by blending physical and digital interactions.
Key Functionalities
The AI Workmate concept introduces several advanced capabilities aimed at enhancing office efficiency:
- Scanning and summarizing physical documents.
- Organizing notes.
- Generating presentations based on voice prompts.
- Projecting content directly onto walls or other surfaces.
- Utilizing a built-in camera to recognize when a person is present and distinguish a primary user from others.
- Enabling content transfer from laptops through gestures, allowing the robot to pick up and project files.
- Capturing signatures or hand-drawn sketches from physical paper and transferring them onto digital documents.
The AI Workmate remains a concept device, presented as an experimental exploration of AI applications in the office environment.
