UniX AI Panther

UniX AI Panther is a third-generation full-size wheeled humanoid robot representing one of the first truly deployment-ready service robots for household and professional environments. Developed by the Suzhou-based AI robotics company UniX AI, the Panther stands 1,600–1,750 mm tall (with adjustable upper-body lift) and weighs approximately 80 kg, making it a compact yet capable platform for real-world tasks. Unlike many competitors pursuing bipedal or quadruped designs, Panther's omnidirectional 4-wheel steering with 4-wheel drive (4WS+4WD) chassis ensures stability, manoeuvrability, and reliable performance in unstructured household and commercial spaces.

The Panther's defining features include world-first mass-produced 8-degree-of-freedom bionic arms with adaptive intelligent grippers, a sophisticated AI stack combining UniFlex (task generalisation and imitation learning), UniTouch (visuo-tactile multimodal perception), and UniCortex (long-horizon task planning). Equipped with 34 high-degree-of-freedom joints, advanced 3D perception through top LiDAR and head-mounted RGB-D cameras, and a dual-speaker audio system with 6-microphone array for natural voice interaction, Panther achieves up to 2,070 TOPS of on-board edge computing power. With a 6–12 hour battery life and maximum speed of 2 m/s, it delivers practical range and endurance for domestic and service deployments.

Global deliveries commenced in April 2026 with production ramping to 100+ units per month. Panther represents UniX AI's strategy of evolving from the earlier Wanda platform toward a fully integrated, accessible robot for elderly care, home assistance, hospitality, security, catering, and research applications. The project marks a significant milestone: one of the first humanoid robots entering real household service at scale, rather than remaining confined to laboratory or controlled industrial settings.
