Global Launch of the First Four-Wheeled Riding Robot for Pre-Order

The world's first four-wheeled riding robot was unveiled at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC) in Shanghai from July 17 to 20, 2026. Developed by Chongqing Haochen Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. with support from AGIQUAD, the robot has garnered significant industry attention and is now available for global pre-order, with small-scale deliveries expected in September 2026.

This innovative product represents a collaboration between AGIQUAD and Haochen Technology, merging advanced four-legged robotic architecture with intelligent upgrades for riding scenarios. The robot can support a weight of up to 75 kg, making it suitable for most single-rider and light-load travel needs, while also featuring autonomous navigation and obstacle avoidance capabilities.

The riding robot is designed for comfort, equipped with adjustable grips, ergonomic pedals, and a smart screen for interactive companionship. This launch not only marks a significant milestone in intelligent mobility but also showcases AGIQUAD's technological advancements in the all-terrain robotic field, pushing the boundaries between traditional robots and transportation tools.

Editor's Note

The unveiling of the first four-wheeled riding robot highlights the growing intersection of robotics and intelligent mobility solutions. As companies like AGIQUAD and Haochen Technology innovate in this space, the implications for urban transportation, safety, and user experience will be significant. Stakeholders should monitor developments in this sector as it evolves.
