The Qiyuan Q1 is positioned as a personal robot, standing 88 cm tall and featuring 22 compliant force-control degrees of freedom, allowing for customizable exterior structures. It is promoted as the world's first personal robot, emphasizing user customization for actions, 3D-printed aesthetics, personality traits, posture, and voice tone. Meanwhile, the Qiyuan T1 is touted as the world's first transformable personal robot, capable of switching between bipedal and quadrupedal forms. This model, approximately 100cm high and weighing around 16kg with a 2-3 hour battery life, also incorporates compliant force-control joints for autonomous obstacle avoidance and identity recognition.
