Upwin New Material’s consumer-grade robots, the Q1 and T1, have officially opened for pre-orders, with the first shipments anticipated as early as September. This exciting development marks a significant step for the company in the field of embodied artificial intelligence.
Introducing the Upwin Q1 and T1
The Q1 and T1 robots can be pre-ordered through Upwin Q1’s official WeChat mini-program, as well as on Tmall, Douyin, and Bilibili official stores. In-person pre-order opportunities are also available at offline experience events.
Earlier in July, Upwin New Material unveiled the Q1 and T1, with the T1 specifically highlighted as the world’s first transformable personal robot. The Q1 is positioned as a humanoid personal robot, while the T1 aims to blend the stability of quadrupedal movement with the efficiency of wheeled locomotion, making it suitable for complex indoor and outdoor terrains.
Key Features of the Q1 and T1 Robots
The Q1 and T1 robots are packed with advanced features designed for seamless interaction and utility:
- Humanoid and Quadrupedal Mobility: The T1 supports both bipedal standing and quadrupedal walking.
- Intuitive Interaction: Features include flexible force control for natural hand-holding, and quiet movement prioritizing flexibility and safety.
- Advanced AI Capabilities: Both robots offer active interaction, long-term memory, foreign language teaching, and graphical programming.
- Personal Assistance: Functions include life reminders, scheduled notifications, voiceprint recognition, and sound source localization.
- Skill Expansion: Capabilities extend to one-sentence ordering, interactive games, and enhanced photography features, including Hitchcock zooms and surround tracking shots. The T1 also supports secondary development, allowing for customization.
- Transformer Architecture: The T1 boasts an industry-first Transformer cross-morphology integration architecture, enabling free switching between one body and two forms.
- Additional Functionalities: The robots also provide intelligent following, adaptive navigation over complex terrains, item carrying capabilities, Bluetooth speaker functionality, and camera linkage.
Production and Collaboration
To support the mass production and delivery of these innovative robots, Upwin New Material has entered into a strategic partnership. On July 18th, Lens Technology’s subsidiary, Lens Intelligent Robot (Changsha) Co., Ltd., officially signed an agreement with Upwin New Material. This collaboration involves an initial production line plan for tens of thousands of robots.
The two companies will engage in deep synergy across various manufacturing stages, including precision component processing, joint module production, and full-machine assembly. This partnership is crucial for accelerating the deployment and mass production capabilities of Upwin’s robots. The Q1 and T1 robots are central to Upwin New Material’s strategy in the embodied intelligence sector.
With pre-orders now open, consumers can look forward to experiencing the future of personal robotics with the Upwin Q1 and T1, expected to ship in September.
