Chinese company Keenon Robotics has launched the humanoid robot XMAN-L1 for service scenarios. Standing at 136 cm tall, this model is designed to interact with visitors, navigate, and engage in interactive communication in public spaces.

The robot features 42 degrees of freedom, with a peak torque of 132 N·m at the knee joint. It boasts over 2000 W of power per leg and achieves a computational performance of 100 TOPS. Large language models from Doubao and Tencent are used for user interaction.

Keenon positions the XMAN-L1 within its own ecosystem of service robotics. The company already produces solutions for delivery, hospitality, logistics, and cleaning. This new addition expands the XMAN line of humanoid platforms and strengthens its focus on commercial applications of humanoid robots.

Robot Identification

The release coincides with significant changes in the Chinese market. The country has launched a national platform for tracking and monitoring humanoid robots throughout their lifecycle, from production to disposal.

The program is overseen by the Standardization Committee for Humanoid Robotics and Embodied Intelligence under the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China.

Each robot will be assigned a unique 29-digit identifier, which will encode the brand, manufacturer, model, serial number, hardware specifications, intelligence level, and factory registration data.

The authorities aim to use this platform for device tracking, risk management, and standardization of industry practices.

As a reminder, in May, Figure AI conducted a live 10-hour experiment where robots competed against humans in sorting packages.
