PrimeBOT, known as Qiyuan in China, launched its Q1 and T1 personal robots in Shanghai on September 20, priced at 19,999 yuan each. Deliveries are set to commence on October 1, with the robots designed for home use, emphasizing personalization and programming capabilities.
The introduction of these robots marks a significant commercial milestone for PrimeBOT, following their presentation at IFA in Berlin. The Q1 is an 88-centimeter humanoid robot with 22 degrees of freedom, while the T1 can switch between humanoid and quadrupedal modes, featuring applications like autonomous filming and following.
Looking ahead, PrimeBOT's strategy focuses on education, companionship, and entertainment rather than complex household tasks. CEO Tian Hua highlighted potential revenue from content and services, suggesting that the robots' long-term success will depend on their integration into daily routines and the quality of available applications.
