Techniahqrobot | humanoid robots(@techniahqrobot):PrimeBOT just held its dedicated Q1 and T1 robot launch in Shanghai. The Q1 is an 88 cm humanoid with 22 DoF and full-body force control according to the company. The T1 takes a different route. It can switch between a wheeled humanoid body for indoor movement and a quadruped body for stairs, slopes and outdoor terrain. PrimeBOT also gives it person following, autonomous filming and 15+ camera movement presets. I keep coming back to that body design. A wheeled base saves energy on flat floors, while four legs give the same robot another option when the ground stops being flat. These robots were shown before today. The fresh update is the September 20 consumer launch event in Shanghai. The performance figures still come from PrimeBOT.

I gave GPT-6 Astra this image and asked it to recreate the robotic arm. This is what it came up with. You get a good look at the full mechanical chain from the rotating base to the shoulder, elbow, wrist and gripper. The circular joint modules sit between the slotted links, and the end effector uses a compact linkage system to drive both fingers around the object. What I kept looking at was the gripper. You can almost trace the motion from the actuator all the way to the fingertips. Nice reference for anyone studying robot arm design, gripper linkages and basic kinematics. How close do you think it got?
