PrimeBot

Chinese robotics firm PrimeBot has started delivering its first Q1 and T1 personal humanoid robots to customers in Shanghai, Shenzhen and Hangzhou. The Q1 stands 88cm tall with 22 degrees of freedom, and prices start at 19,999 yuan, roughly 2,800 US dollars. Observers describe the rollout as a milestone for consumer robotics in China, as humanoid assistants move from demos to actual home deliveries at a relatively accessible price point.

Prime Robotics introduced its PrimeBOT personal robot at the 2026 World Design Cities Conference, promoting a design philosophy of 'For People, Unlike People'. The company says the robot rethinks what home and personal robots should do by complementing rather than imitating humans. Further details on specifications, pricing and availability were not immediately available.
