SkyWalker 2
SkyWalker 2 is a 165 cm humanoid robot by EIR Technology, designed for agile motion, versatile task handling, and real-world deployment across manufacturing, care, and inspection.
Description
SkyWalker 2, developed by EIR Technology (Sichuan Embodied Humanoid Robot Technology Co., Ltd.), is a cutting-edge full-size humanoid robot platform launched on September 24, 2025, in Chengdu, China. Standing at 165 cm tall and weighing 55 kg, it features a 55-degree-of-freedom (DOF) bionic design, including 12 DOF per hand, enabling highly human-like motion, balance, and manipulation. The robot's architecture integrates lightweight servo motors, high-precision harmonic and planetary gear drives, and a novel bionic waist joint for superior whole-body coordination, allowing it to bend, twist, squat, and navigate complex terrains at speeds up to 7 km/h walking (4 km/h standard). Its structure employs lightweight aluminum alloys and composite shells for durability and a gray-black metallic finish, with a shipping size of 180x60x50 cm.
Perception is powered by RGB cameras, depth/stereo vision systems, environmental sensors, and 6 array-type tactile sensors per hand for precise grasping and real-time adjustments. Compute relies on high-performance onboard embedded processors (likely NVIDIA Jetson or equivalent) supplemented by optional cloud computing via a strategic partnership with Tencent Cloud, facilitating low-latency (350 ms glass-to-action) operations. The OS is Linux-based with a custom robot control stack, supporting Ethernet and Wi-Fi connectivity. Notably, SkyWalker 2 integrates large language models (LLMs) for advanced reasoning, enabling natural human-robot interaction, expressive head gestures via a flexible screen, and multi-modal task execution.
AI capabilities emphasize embodied intelligence: real-time hand-eye coordination, whole-body motion control, and closed-loop task implementation. Demos showcase autonomous data collection, drink fetching/delivery, street walking in Chengdu, and dynamic balancing. EIR's full-stack approach—from mechanical design to software—stems from UESTC alumni, achieving 90%+ local part localization in Chengdu's ecosystem. Collaborations with UESTC, Sichuan University, and Tianfu Lab accelerate innovations in 'robot brains' and dexterous hands.
Real-world deployment targets manufacturing (precision assembly), inspection (hazardous environments), elder care (companionship, assistance), and services. As production-ready prototypes/early commercial units (priced ~RMB 158,000/$85,000), it builds on SkyWalker 1 (developed in 69 days in 2024). Tencent Cloud enhances ecosystem deployment for scalable AI. Safe for human proximity, 3-hour runtime per charge (15 kg payload), SkyWalker 2 positions EIR as a Southwest China leader, bridging lab-to-industry with agile, versatile performance. Future iterations like emotional companion 'Ai Qiu' promise expanded applications.98 101 100
