An ideal will release a wheeled robot this year.

According to multiple sources, it has been learned that the company Ideal will release a dual-wheel robot within the year, primarily intended for factory manufacturing scenarios. It is known that Ideal's humanoid robot team has been in existence since April 2025 and has been secretly developing for nearly a year. The team's internal codename is Nexus, led by former Ninebot Intelligent hardware partner He Junpei, with fewer than 30 members reporting to CEO Ma Donghui. The team's project is classified as top secret and is not shown on the company's organizational chart, with other departments unaware of its progress. It has been revealed that Ideal Motors under the humanoid robot team has planned two products: a dual-wheel robot and a bipedal robot. The dual-wheel robot product is currently ready and is expected to be released in mid-year, primarily for factory manufacturing scenarios. "Ideal's approach to robotics is also inspired by Tesla, focusing on iterating technology capabilities in closed environments before gradually targeting consumer groups," a source familiar with the matter told us.
