The QiYuan T1, a transformable personal robot, made its debut at the 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai. This innovative robot can autonomously switch between a humanoid form for indoor use and a quadrupedal 'robot dog' form for outdoor environments, adapting seamlessly to various terrains without manual intervention.
This development is significant as it showcases advancements in robotics, particularly in the realm of personal companions. The QiYuan T1's ability to engage in human interaction through flexible force control technology enhances its role beyond mere task completion, allowing it to serve as a companion in daily life.
Looking ahead, the QiYuan T1's unique design and capabilities may set new standards for personal robots. With ongoing investments in research and development, including a reported 4585.16 million yuan in Q1 2026, the company is poised to expand its presence with offline experience stores in cities like Shanghai and Shenzhen. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
