Shangwei New Materials, chaired by Zhihuijun (Peng Zhihui), officially launched sales of the personal robot Q1 and unveiled the shape-shifting T1, both starting at 19,999 yuan.
- Q1 emphasizes customization: 3D-printed shells, user-created actions, adjustable personality; explorer edition (26,999 yuan) opens SDK/HDK; uses in-house QDD quasi-direct-drive joints and full-body force control
- T1 switches between wheeled biped and quadruped forms for indoor/outdoor following and filming; Pro (29,999 yuan) adds Nvidia Orin Nano and 360° obstacle avoidance
- Backed by PrimeFLOW/PrimeHub/PrimeStore platforms positioning the robots as an open creator ecosystem
- Positioned as 'personal robots' rather than chore-doers; PrimeMind home-task foundation model still in research. The company spent 164M yuan on robot R&D in H1 with no robot revenue yet
