JingChu Elf (荆楚精灵)

For reception desks and guided tours, Hubei Jingchu Humanoid Robot offers the JingChu Elf as the wheeled sibling of its legged JingChu. The robot is 165 cm tall and weighs 70 kg according to the product text and brochure, although one passage on the website says 1.6 m and 80 kg.

A two-wheel differential drive turns on the spot and reaches 2.3 m/s. The base configuration has 18 degrees of freedom, including two seven-axis arms rated for about 3 kg each and fitted with a single-axis gripper; optional five-finger hands with 11 axes raise the total to 38.

Rotary joints with planetary gears deliver up to 150 N·m. The 48 V, 20 Ah battery, equal to 960 Wh, lasts around eight hours, and autonomous charging allows round-the-clock operation. Sensing combines an RGB-D camera, a 360-degree LiDAR, a four-microphone array and collision detection in the arms; connectivity covers WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.0 and 5G.

An Intel Core i14 and an NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX with roughly 117 TOPS run an AI dialogue module, SLAM navigation and face recognition. Listed uses are reception, tours, data collection, inspection of hydropower plants and help at home. The model was refreshed on 23 September 2026. An ordering campaign for the first hundred customers is under way, so the catalogue shows it as on sale; price on request.

Another folding or compact wheeled service humanoid worth comparing is Gento Luna.
