U1 Humanoid Robot — The One Visitors Photograph
Updated 20 Oct 2026 · specifications per hardware revision
A full-size bipedal humanoid that walks a plaza, delivers an authored tour, poses for the family photo and leads an activity hour in a care home. It is deployed in scenic areas today — the images on this page are field stills, not renders — and it is sold the way this class of machine should be: one programme at a time, with the safety, privacy and service answers written down before anyone signs.
- Full-size bipedal humanoid
- Guided tour · stage · greeting · care
- Custom outfit and branding
- Pilot from 1 unit
- Quoted per programme
Field photographs from live deployments, supplied for discussion. Higher-resolution production photography and a reference video are sent with the project pack.
Where it earns its price
Four jobs a humanoid actually gets hired for
Not four hypotheticals — these are the four deployments that pay for themselves, and each one asks the machine for something different.
1 · Scenic area, museum and exhibition guide
It meets a group, walks the first stretch of the route and narrates the opening story in the visitor's language, then hands off to the audio-guide fleet for the rest of the visit. The value is at the start: a crowd that gathers around a person in a costume is a crowd that starts the tour on time. Pair it with the AI audio-guide line — same venue, same content pipeline, one script.
2 · Stage, plaza and parade performance
Authored movement routines, music-cued sequences and a pose for the photo. This is where the custom outfit matters most: the machine has to read as part of the place, not as borrowed hardware. A plaza appearance is scheduled, supervised and repeatable — which is also what makes it safe.
3 · Greeting, reception and interactive Q&A
Lobby, visitor centre, shop floor or trade stand: it greets, answers a bounded set of questions about what is on show, and points people to a human for anything else. The honest boundary is the question set — a humanoid that answers three questions reliably beats one that guesses at thirty.
4 · Senior-care and wellbeing activity
An activity-hour presence residents approach rather than watch: greeting by name from a prepared list, leading a seated exercise or reminiscence session, telling a story, prompting a conversation. It is a companionship and activity device — see the next section for what it will never be sold as.
Claims boundary
What this machine is not, and what we will not print
A care home, an insurer or a public tender will ask what the robot does about a resident. The answer is: nothing, and that is the correct answer. It does not detect falls, does not read vital signs, does not raise an alert, does not call anyone, and it is not a lifting, transfer or mobility aid. It is present, it talks, it leads an activity and it goes back on its dock.
The same discipline applies to the safety story. We do not call it autonomous until the navigation documentation supports the word, we do not claim an outdoor weather envelope it has not been tested to, and we do not put an IP rating on a datasheet that has no test report behind it.
Declined before supply
- Artwork, tender text or app copy implying clinical monitoring, diagnosis or fall detection.
- Positioning as a substitute for care staff, or as supervision of a resident.
- Claims of unattended operation in a crowd, or of navigating stairs, slopes, gravel or wet floors.
- Anything that hides the recording or speaking state from the people around it.
- Costume, mask or branding that imitates a uniform with legal authority, or a real person's likeness.
Safety and site
A walking machine near people is a risk assessment, not a spec sheet
Ask any supplier — including us — these eight. We answer all eight in writing in the project pack.
- Stop behaviour. What stops it, who can stop it, how fast, and what happens when the stop is released mid-step.
- Speed and proximity. Walking speed in a public setting, and what it does when someone steps into the route.
- Tipping and recovery. What happens if it falls, how heavy the recovery is, and how many people it takes.
- Battery and charging. Runtime per shift, charge time, what happens when it runs flat mid-show, and the fire-safety terms for charging overnight in a care building.
- Floor and route. Thresholds, cable runs, carpet edges, wet-cleaned floors, step heights it will and will not take.
- Standards referenced. Which parts of the personal-care-robot safety and risk vocabulary the build is assessed against, and which documents exist today.
- Camera and microphone. What is recorded, where it goes, who can retrieve it, how long it is kept, and how a visitor or resident is told.
- Failure in public. The plan for a stall in front of a crowd: manual walk-off, quiet mode, and who is trained to do it.
In a care or museum setting, the camera question is a data-protection question: you are the controller for anything recorded about a resident, a visitor or a child. We supply the device-side description for your assessment — the notices, consent practice and retention policy sit with the operator.

If a document you need does not exist for the build being quoted, we say so before you sign rather than after.
Programme
What a deployment actually consists of
What we need from you to quote it
- Venue type and floor — plaza, hall, lobby or care home; surface, thresholds, step-free or not.
- The job — narrate a route, perform a set, greet and answer, or run an activity hour.
- Audience — ticket-holders, school groups, shoppers or residents, and whether children approach it.
- Languages and script — who writes the narration, and whether you hold the rights to the text.
- Network — Wi-Fi or wired, and whether cloud services are permitted on your estate.
- Shift pattern — hours per day, days per week, and who operates and charges it.
What comes with the machine
- Charging dock, operator control and the safety documentation set for the build.
- Outfit and branding produced to your brief, with a spare set.
- Authored content: opening show sequence, tour narration or the bounded Q&A set.
- Operator and maintenance training, on site or remote, with a written run-book.
- Spare-part kit and the field-replaceable list, priced with the order.
- A route to update firmware and content on units already in the field.
See MOQ, sampling and lead times for how a first programme is normally sequenced, and OEM/ODM services for what can be changed at firmware level.

Questions buyers ask about this model
Is the U1 ordered as a product or as a project?
As a project, quoted from 50 units or scoped as a single deployment. The project pack defines the route, script, languages, operator training, spares and service terms before a purchase order.
What does the project pack contain?
The deployment scope and floor plan, stop behaviour and risk-assessment inputs, the language and script plan, operator training, the spares list and service terms, and freight and rigging to your site.
How long is production after the project pack is frozen?
Typically 25 to 35 days for the build itself; where new ODM tooling is involved, the tooling phase runs 12 to 20 weeks before production.
Can it walk safely around visitors and children?
It walks on paved and indoor flooring at a show pace on an authored route, and a public deployment is designed around supervision: an operator with a stop control, a defined operating area, speed and proximity limits, and a floor plan that keeps cables, steps and wet surfaces out of the path. We supply the risk-assessment input and the stop behaviour for the build being quoted. We do not describe it as autonomously navigating crowds, because that is a documentation question, not a marketing one.
Is it a medical or care device for a nursing home?
No. In a care setting it is a companionship and activity device: it greets, narrates, leads a seated exercise or reminiscence session and gives residents something to approach. It does not detect falls, take vital signs, alert staff or assist with lifting and transfer. Tender text or artwork implying clinical monitoring will be declined before supply.
What languages does it speak, and does the conversation run on the robot?
Both are programme decisions. Language coverage, and whether recognition and answers run on the device or through a cloud service, decide your network dependency, your latency in a stone-walled hall, and what personal data leaves the building — so we confirm them in the project pack rather than guessing on a web page.
Can it wear our uniform and carry our brand?
Yes — the photographs on this page show a custom outfit with sleeve patches, which is exactly how venues use it. Outfit, colour, face-panel treatment and narration are authored per programme, and we tell you plainly which changes are cosmetic and which need a firmware release.
What happens when it breaks, far from the factory?
This decides most humanoid purchases, so it is answered in the quotation: spare-part list and price bands, what a site technician can replace without us, remote diagnosis scope, on-site support terms, warranty period and response commitment, and how firmware and content updates reach a unit already in the field.
How much does it cost?
Not published, and not a number we will guess at. Price follows the configuration, the content scope, the training and service package, and freight and rigging to your site. Send the venue and the job and you get a written figure within one business day.
