Overview
- Robbyant showcased R1 at IFA in Berlin and at Shanghai’s Inclusion Conference, including a live shrimp-cooking demo in a mock kitchen.
- The first-generation robot weighs about 110 kilograms, stands 1.6–1.75 meters tall, moves under 1.5 meters per second, and features 34 degrees of freedom.
- Event staff said R1 is already in mass production with early deliveries to clients such as the Shanghai History Museum, and sales are bundled into broader “scenario solutions.”
- Ant describes target uses including companionship or caregiving, tour guiding and basic medical consultations, with testing reported in community centers and restaurants.
- The company is developing its BaiLing AI model and exploring training on domestic chips, as demos drew notes on slow performance and real-world autonomy remains to be verified; a second-generation model is under development.
