XTRON KUAVO-MY

The XTRON KUAVO-MY, manufactured by Leju Robotics (Leju Shenzhen Robotics Co., Ltd.), represents a pinnacle in bipedal humanoid robot design tailored for research, education, industrial deployment, and service applications. This prototype-stage robot, standing at 166 cm tall and weighing 55 kg, boasts 30 degrees of freedom (DOF), enabling sophisticated full-body coordination. Its architecture features 7 DOF per leg for robust bipedal locomotion, 7 DOF per arm (14 DOF total for dual arms with arm span 1770-2148 mm), and optional dexterous hands with 6-11 DOF, including up to 113 mm gripper opening with force control. Propulsion is powered by Leju's self-developed high-torque joints delivering peak torque of 360 Nm and rated speeds of 150 rpm, facilitating model-based motion control, reinforcement learning, and high-frequency joint control for dynamic maneuvers such as omnidirectional walking at up to 5 km/h, continuous jumping exceeding 20 cm, and traversal over uneven terrains like sand, grass, and obstacles. Perception systems are multimodal, integrating a stereo depth camera for 3D environmental mapping and obstacle detection, a 6-microphone array for voice interaction and localization, and lidar-based radar for enhanced spatial awareness. This setup supports real-time navigation, manipulation performance rated at 2/5, and navigation at 2/5 per Humanoid.Guide metrics, with an overall H.G. skill score of 4/10. Software architecture runs on KaihongOS, an open-source platform based on OpenHarmony (Huawei's HarmonyOS), providing customizable APIs, open-source motion controllers for trajectory planning, feedback control, and state estimation. It excels in imitation learning for rapid task adaptation and behavior digitization, with seamless integration of embodied large language models (LLMs) like Huawei's Pangu model, debuted at HDC2024, enabling natural voice interaction, multi-language support, and end-to-end embodied intelligence. Real-world deployments highlight its versatility. KUAVO-MY variants have served as intelligent tour guides at AI and robotics exhibitions, China Mobile's Smart Home Operations Center, and public spaces, providing real-time Q&A and explanations. In smart home scenarios, collaborations with Haier demonstrate household tasks like laundry, flower watering, and clothes hanging. Industrial pilots with Hengtong and NIO explore material sorting, logistics, and high-value manufacturing. Educationally, it supports data collection, algorithm training, and STEM programs via open SDKs, simulation models, and demo libraries. Notably, the KUAVO series, including MY, achieved milestones like being the world's first 5G-A equipped humanoid torchbearer at China's 15th National Games in 2025. Leju's $200M+ funding and partnerships with universities (Soochow, Shandong) and Huawei underscore rapid industrialization. Challenges remain in battery runtime (N/A specified), specific CPU/GPU (embedded real-time compute), thermal management, and IP ratings, but its aviation-grade aluminum alloy frame ensures lightweight durability. Priced around $57,000 via distributors like Foxtech, XTRON KUAVO-MY bridges academic research and commercial viability, positioning Leju as a leader in China's humanoid surge toward 5 trillion USD global market by 2050.
