Walker C1 is a full-size biped service humanoid from Shenzhen-based UBTECH Robotics. It targets multilingual reception, guided tours, shopping assistance, performances and events, patrols and education, and served as the official humanoid representative of the CISCE supply chain expo in Beijing.
Design and hardware
UBTECH describes Walker C1 as a full-size service humanoid built for urban settings, pairing functional styling with agile movement. It has a built-in motion library, supports custom motion settings and performs dynamic multi-modal movements, with omnidirectional perception for safe interaction.
The design is modular and shares parts with other UBTECH models, which the company says supports mass production and fast delivery; one person can deploy and operate it. UBTECH's product page does not list height, weight, joint count or runtime in text form.
Software and AI
The robot runs a multimodal intelligence engine built on large AI models and includes a world model. UBTECH develops its own model family: the Thinker foundation model, the Thinker-WM world model and the Thinker-VLA action model. Standard interfaces and a full SDK let customers adapt it to their scenarios.
Applications and deployments
UBTECH lists four areas: commercial services (multilingual reception, AI tour guide, shopping assistance), culture and entertainment (themed performances, visitor interaction), urban safety (patrols, traffic assistance) and education and research. Its best-known appearance is as the official humanoid robot representative of the China International Supply Chain Expo (CISCE) in Beijing.
