Léo(@LeoKharon):NEW ROBOT: First transformer humanoid ! HFUN-TECH released a robot that can autonomously reconfigure between a wheel-foot humanoid and a four-legged quadruped, switching modes on its own based on terrain via a unified control framework. You can even carry it as a suitcase, and ride it to move around! It carries a flip camera, a 45-degree tilted interaction screen and a multi-microphone array, and is pitched for home companionship, content creation and outdoor use. It debuted at the 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC, July 17-20, Shanghai). I also found an alomst identical robot marketed as the "PrimeBOT Qiyuan T1" from a Shanghai startup PrimeBOT, so I cannot really make sense of it 🤔
