The Qiyuan T1, the world's first transformable personal robot, was unveiled in Shanghai on July 14. This innovative robot can autonomously switch between a humanoid form and a quadrupedal 'robot dog' form, adapting to various environments without user intervention.
This breakthrough is significant as it allows the Qiyuan T1 to navigate spaces that may not be suitable for a single form, enhancing its usability in both indoor and outdoor settings. The robot features advanced capabilities such as flexible force control for human interaction and the ability to carry items in its quadrupedal mode.
The Qiyuan T1 will make its public debut at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference from July 17 to 20, 2026. As the personal robotics market evolves, the Qiyuan T1 sets a new standard for versatility and functionality in personal robots.
