Walker C is a humanoid robot developed by UBTECH Robotics, a robotics company based in China. Full-size embodied intelligent humanoid for commercial service applications. Powered by UBTECH's Embodied Interactive Large Model for multilingual interactions. Deployed as China Pavilion's first AI tour guide at Expo 2025 Osaka. Features U-SLAM autonomous navigation for exhibition halls and office buildings.
UBTECH's Walker C represents the company's service-focused humanoid robot, designed for commercial environments like hotels, shopping centers, and exhibition halls. Standing 1.63 meters tall and weighing 43 kg, Walker C prioritizes interaction and guidance over industrial work capability.
The robot features 20 degrees of freedom enabling flexible and natural movements appropriate for customer-facing roles. U-SLAM navigation provides precise autonomous path planning and obstacle avoidance, while RGB cameras and IMU sensors enable environmental perception and safe operation in crowded spaces.
Walker C's AI system supports multilingual interaction through voice, text, and gestures, allowing it to serve as a tour guide, customer assistant, or information kiosk. This multimodal communication capability makes the robot approachable for visitors unfamiliar with robotics technology.
Walker C fits into UBTECH's broader strategy of targeting multiple market segments. While the Walker S and S2 series address industrial manufacturing, Walker C serves hospitality and retail applications where human interaction matters more than payload capacity. This segmentation allows UBTECH to learn from different deployment scenarios while building toward broader humanoid adoption across industries.
