Walker X
2021-era 130 cm research/showcase biped, still officially marketed with a sales-inquiry form; legacy platform.
Overview
Walker X is UBTECH's 2021 research-and-showcase humanoid: a 130 cm, 63 kg biped with 41 degrees of freedom that walks at up to 3 km/h, climbs 15 cm stairs, adapts to 20-degree slopes and performs hand-eye-coordinated manipulation and smart-home control demos. It has been placed mainly with research institutions, science centers and showcases, and its platform underpins the Dubai Expo panda robot. The official page still markets it with the dedicated sales-inquiry form, though the newer Walker C/S generations have superseded it commercially. Best suited to labs and exhibitions wanting a proven, stable bipedal platform.
