On April 30th, Yushu Technology released a humanoid robot with only the upper body design, starting at a price of 26,900 yuan, significantly lowering the industry threshold. This dual-arm robot deviates from the traditional approach of designing a full-size robot and instead offers two quick deployment options: a fixed base and a mobile chassis, allowing for easy switching between research, light industry, and service scenarios. The single arm is available in configurations of 5 degrees of freedom and 7 degrees of freedom, with a total of 15 to 31 degrees of freedom for the entire robot. The waist joint supports a rotation of 150, while the head can achieve a horizontal rotation of 115 and a pitch of 36. Additionally, the end effector's repeat positioning accuracy is 0.1mm, and it can be adapted for quick changes between two-finger, three-finger, and five-finger dexterous hands. The single arm has a maximum payload of about 2kg, meeting the requirements for precision operations and regular handling tasks. It is worth noting that Yushu Technology's CMO, Wang Qixin, said during a media interview at the opening ceremony, "In fact, Yushu's Panda Robot was introduced earlier. We released related videos in November and December last year. At that time, the robot dog had already been made to look like a panda, while the Magic Atom's Panda Robot made its first appearance on this year's Spring Festival Gala in February. There are many videos online that can attest to this."
