UBTECH does not publish a retail price; third-party estimates place the new cost at around $75,000 (est.) when purchased directly from UBTECH on a project basis. Used units occasionally appear on specialized marketplaces but without standard pricing.
The Walker X walks at up to 3 km/h, navigates autonomously using SLAM, recognizes faces and objects, and interacts via voice and an LCD face. It can carry up to 1.5 kg per arm, suitable for research tasks like small object manipulation and guided tours.
The Walker X is enterprise-only, sold directly by UBTECH to labs, exhibitors, and integrators after consultation. It is not available via retail channels. Lead times are project-dependent; interested parties must contact UBTECH for a quote.
Both are bipedal research humanoids with comparable pricing. The Walker X has 41 DOF vs REEM-C’s fewer actuators and includes an expressive face display, while REEM-C has a longer track record in European research labs and established community support.
UBTECH Robotics, founded in 2012 and headquartered in Shenzhen, China, develops humanoid and educational robots. The Walker series is its flagship bipedal line, with Walker X being the third generation.
Approximately 2 hours of continuous operation. Charging time is not officially disclosed. The battery is not hot-swappable, so prolonged use requires scheduling downtime to recharge.
Research institutes (human-robot interaction, locomotion), exhibition venues, hospitality, and pilot healthcare projects are the primary users. It is not deployed in heavy industrial or logistics settings due to limited payload.
