RobotEra L7
Tsinghua-spun RobotEra's 4 m/s flagship humanoid with 55 DoF and 12-DoF dexterous hands for industrial and commercial work.
Overview
The L7 was revealed in July 2025 as RobotEra's second full-size biped after Star1, positioned as a faster, more dexterous flagship with pre-orders opened alongside limited pilot projects. The 171 cm, 65 kg robot packs 55 degrees of freedom, direct-drive actuators with 400 N·m peak knee torque, and reaches 4 m/s, while its 12-DoF XHAND1 dexterous hands handle both clothes-folding finesse and 20 kg payloads. Perception combines binocular vision with 3D LiDAR, and tasks are driven by ERA-42, RobotEra's end-to-end embodied large model; reseller listings vary (roughly $95,000-$120,000) with no official public list price.
