Kuavo-my

Kuavo-myis a humanoid robot developed byLeju Roboticsfor commercial and service applications. It is designed to interact with people, providing intelligent guidance and information in environments like shopping centers and exhibition halls. Equipped with advanced AI, Kuavo-my can learn and adapt to various tasks, offering personalized customer service. Its versatility and efficiency make it a valuable asset in enhancing customer experiences and improving operational efficiency in commercial spaces and public environments.

Description

The Kuavo-my humanoid robot, developed by Leju Robotics, a Shenzhen-based high-tech enterprise specializing in intelligent humanoid robots since 2016, represents an advanced platform for commercial service, research, and emerging industrial applications. Standing at approximately 145-147 cm tall and weighing 45 kg, it features 26 degrees of freedom (14 in arms, 12 in legs), enabling fluid bipedal locomotion with omnidirectional walking speeds up to 4.6 km/h. Its architecture is built around self-developed high-torque joints delivering peak torque of 360 Nm and rated speeds of 150 rpm, allowing adaptation to varied terrains such as sand, grass, and uneven surfaces. The robot employs an open-source motion controller for precise trajectory planning, feedback control, and state estimation, integrated with KaihongOS—an embedded operating system based on OpenHarmony—supporting real-time control, AI processing, and multi-modal sensor fusion. Perception is handled via depth cameras for 3D environment mapping, obstacle avoidance, and navigation, complemented by multi-sensor fusion. Connectivity includes WiFi (2.4/5 GHz), HDMI, and USB 3.0 ports, facilitating secondary development and integration with external devices. AI capabilities emphasize imitation learning for rapid task adaptation, behavior digitization, and dataset collection, reducing learning costs through second-level quick searches powered by large language models (LLMs). Notably, Kuavo-my has been integrated with Huawei's Pangu embodied LLM, debuting at Huawei Developer Conference (HDC) 2024, enabling advanced Q&A, personalized interactions, and embodied intelligence. Real-world deployments highlight its versatility. In commercial settings, it serves as an intelligent guide in shopping centers, exhibition halls, and China Mobile's Smart Home Operations Center, providing customer service, explanations, and wayfinding. Industrially, collaborations with NIO involve automotive door assembly using force-sensitive grippers, and with Jiangsu Hengtong for manufacturing automation toward 'dark factories.' Partnerships with Haier for smart homes and public services underscore its role in smart cities. Leju's $200M funding in 2025 supports scaling production of Kuavo-my alongside full-size models like KUAVO 3.0 and 5.0. Passed evaluations by CTTL, its modular design supports research in motion control, embodied AI, and multi-robot collaboration. While lacking dexterous hands (no specified finger DoF), it excels in navigation (rated 2/5), basic manipulation (2/5), and service tasks (H.G. skill score 4). Kuavo-my bridges prototype to commercialization, fostering human-robot coexistence with independent IP in hardware and control.
