FLOKI and Rice Robotics Introduce AI Companion Robot Offering Token Rewards

[PRESS RELEASE – Miami, Florida, April 30th, 2025]

FLOKI has formed a partnership with Rice Robotics to introduce the FLOKI Minibot M1, a robot enhanced with artificial intelligence that merges robotics, blockchain technology, and token-based rewards.

Debuting ahead of TOKEN2049 in Dubai, the FLOKI Minibot M1 utilizes RICE AI, which is Rice Robotics’ decentralized artificial intelligence framework. This compact yet effective robot can assist with everyday activities such as organizing grocery lists, planning household tasks, and even sharing bedtime stories or dancing to favorite tunes—adapting to your personal style and preferences as it learns.

Beyond its impressive hardware, the launch will also see the introduction of the $RICE token, which serves as the primary utility token for the RICE AI framework. This token successfully bridges practical applications with blockchain rewards. Users interacting with the FLOKI Minibot M1 will accumulate $RICE tokens through communication, transforming regular conversations and commands into meaningful data for AI training while incentivizing participation in the ecosystem.

As announced, the $RICE token will debut via the TokenFi Launchpad, allowing $TOKEN stakers the chance to engage in the preliminary sales. Furthermore, there will be airdrops for holders of both $FLOKI and $TOKEN, enhancing the overall functionality within the FLOKI ecosystem. The $RICE token will have multiple roles within the RICE AI network, including enabling premium feature access, AI enhancements, and facilitating data exchanges across decentralized AI platforms.

Rice Robotics has a proven track record, having collaborated with industry leaders such as Nvidia, SoftBank, Mitsui Fudosan, and 7-Eleven Japan. Their robots are actively utilized in various settings, including workplaces, retail centers, and urban environments in countries such as Japan, Dubai, and Hong Kong.

SoftBank is also significantly involved in President Trump’s $500 billion Stargate Initiative, focused on developing AI infrastructure across the United States. Rice Robotics’ participation further emphasizes the integration of policy, artificial intelligence, and token-based economies.

This partnership signals a pivotal evolution in decentralized physical AI (DePAI), a new frontier where robots are capable of learning, sharing information, and self-improving through blockchain-dependent protocols.
