Floki price surges 49% in 7 days after Rice Robotics announces partnership with Floki to launch Floki-themed AI robot and $RICE token airdrop

Rice Robotics, an AI robotics startup, is teaming up with Floki to launch the first-ever meme coin-themed AI robot called the FLOKI minibot M1 , alongside the introduction of its new utility token, $RICE.

The partnership merges the worlds of Web3 and robotics, offering both entertainment and practical household support.

Users who interact with the Floki-themed minibots will not only receive assistance with daily tasks but will also earn $RICE tokens. Every interaction helps Rice Robotics collect valuable human data to improve its AI models.

The FLOKI M1 minibot acts as a personal assistant, helping with grocery reminders, household scheduling, online searches, and even offering companionship through bedtime stories, friendship advice, and dancing to music.

The device integrates with the RICE AI decentralized protocol and uses Nvidia’s nano-computer for processing.

$RICE tokens will initially be distributed via airdrops to FLOKI and TokenFi users, with a broader public launch through TokenFi’s Launchpad.

According to Floki's post on X: 

"Floki and TokenFi users will be airdropped a portion of the $RICE token supply simply by holding and staking their tokens."

Users can also earn $RICE by simply interacting with the minibots, effectively turning everyday actions into AI training data while being financially rewarded.

Rice Robotics, the parent company behind RICE AI, has built a strong reputation with high-profile clients including Nvidia, SoftBank, Dubai Future Foundation, Mitsui Fudosan, NTT Japan, and 7-Eleven.

Its robots already handle delivery services in corporate offices and retail spaces across Japan. Earlier this year, the company raised $7 million in a Series A funding round, with key investors like Alibaba backing its growth.

Floki’s move into robotics marks an important step for the meme coin sector, traditionally known for speculative trading rather than real-world applications.

By blending popular branding with cutting-edge AI robotics, the Floki and Rice Robotics partnership could set a new precedent for utility-driven Web3 projects.

Further details about the $RICE token distribution and how FLOKI and TOKEN holders can participate will be announced soon.
