Embodied AI Glossary中文Wheeled Humanoid Robot
轮式人形机器人CommonA robot with a human-like upper body but a wheeled base instead of legs.
A wheeled humanoid robot keeps the humanoid upper body, a head camera, two arms, and often a waist that can lift or bend, but replaces the two legs with a wheeled mobile base. Giving up bipedal walking trades away the ability to climb stairs or cross rough terrain in exchange for stability, energy efficiency, lower cost, simpler control, and no risk of falling over, along with the ability to work for long stretches without tiring. It targets manipulation tasks on flat ground in factories, warehouses, stores, and homes, and is one of the dominant forms among Chinese embodied-AI companies; examples include Galbot's G1, AgiBot's Expedition A2-W, Galaxea's R1, Astribot's S1, and 1X's early EVE.
ExampleGalbot G1 rolls up to a shelf on its wheeled base inside a pharmacy, raises its waist, and uses both arms to pull medicine from a high shelf.
