Why it matters
This is the kind of humanoid that already earns money in public: greeting, guiding and performing in halls, malls and offices. Where the industrial Walkers stay behind factory gates, the C line meets people.
What it can do
Multilingual reception and question answering from a custom database, autonomous guided tours on mapped routes, voice announcements, a built-in motion library for performances and events, patrol and inspection, plus an SDK for custom behaviour. UBTECH lists commercial services, cultural entertainment, urban safety and education as its uses.
The company
UBTECH is one of China's largest humanoid makers, with an industrial line (Walker S1, S2) and this commercial line (Walker C, C1). Walker C worked as the first embodied AI tour guide at the China Pavilion of Expo 2025 in Osaka; C1 is its successor, presented as the first full-size humanoid service robot for city life.
Specs
UBTECH's C1 page publishes no height, weight or price in text. Its predecessor Walker C is documented: 163 cm, 43 kg, 20 degrees of freedom, 6 km/h, a 48 V 15 Ah battery for about two hours of walking or four standing, 1.5 hours to charge, twin RGBD cameras. Both pages checked 25 September 2026.
Roboosh verdict
Not a home robot, but the closest thing to a humanoid you can hire for an event today from a maker that ships at volume. If your interest is the earning side of humanoids, this line matters more than any factory robot.
Reality check
Sold to businesses through UBTECH and its partners, on request, with no public price. Expect the C1 to appear at exhibitions and public venues before it appears anywhere near a home.
Price and availability checked August 2026. Maker link opened and checked 6 September 2026.
