Swancor's Qiyuan robotics brand opened reservations on two home humanoids: an 88 cm, 15 kg Q1 with body wide touch sensing and a 100 cm, 16 kg T1 that switches between a wheel legged and a four legged form, with a 1,000 yuan deposit credited as
Swancor Advanced Materials' Qiyuan robotics unit opened public reservations on August 23 for two consumer humanoid robots in China: the Q1, an 88 cm, 15 kg full-body force-controlled humanoid, and the T1, a 100 cm, 16 kg personal robot that switches between a wheel-leg humanoid form and a quadruped stance.
The brand calls both "the world's first" in their form factors, a claim not yet independently confirmed. The Q1 is positioned for embodied-development, tech-collectible, and home-companion use; the T1 targets home companionship, outdoor following, and image creation.
Reservations run through the Qiyuan mini-program, Tmall, Douyin, and Bilibili stores, plus offline experience events. A 1,000 yuan deposit (about US$140) is credited as 2,000 yuan (about US$280) toward the final purchase, with 30-day perks including a Care kit, a signed letter from engineer 稚晖君, and a half-year extended warranty. First shipments begin in September 2026.
Swancor, a listed materials and chemicals company, reported in its 2026 half-year filing that its consumer robotics unit held 210 million yuan (about US$29 million) in prepayments and spent 160 million yuan (about US$22 million) on R&D. It has signed a 10,000-unit production line with Lens Intelligent Robotics and a core-component deal with Wolong Electric Drive.
