Primebot T1 and Q1 Consumer Robots Feature Bipedal Transformation and 22 DOF
Watch on YouTubeVideo summary
The video introduces two innovative consumer robots from Prime Body, the T1 and the Q1, which represent significant advancements in bipedal robotics with up to 22 degrees of freedom. The T1 is highlighted as the world's first human transport robot capable of transforming between a standing posture on two legs and a crawling mode resembling a puppy, offering unique interactive features for families. This transformation ability allows the robot to perform playful actions like clapping or obstacle skipping on the floor, making it an engaging companion for children while maintaining stability even when pushed gently by users.
In contrast, the Q1 model is designed specifically for exploring the world and executing complex movements such as boxing or Chinese kung fu through advanced programming via the company's SDK. The robot can mimic actions demonstrated in front of it with about 60% accuracy using its sensors and cameras, allowing it to learn dances from famous figures like Michael Jackson or football players like Cristiano Ronaldo directly from YouTube videos. Despite these capabilities, the developers emphasize that both robots are primarily intended for indoor use as family-friendly companions rather than outdoor delivery units, prioritizing safety and integration into home environments before expanding their operational scope.
Both models feature customizable elements to enhance user experience, including interchangeable outfits designed by the company's design team and removable body parts that allow customers to perform DIY customizations. The robots are equipped with various sensors to detect surroundings and ensure safety, while their battery life supports three to four hours of operation with a one-hour charging time. To address concerns about continuous operation, Prime Body has partnered with furniture manufacturers to create smart homes where the robots can automatically return to charge wirelessly when their power runs low, ensuring they remain ready for interaction without manual intervention.
Although the T1 and Q1 are not officially released globally at the time of the video, with the T1 launching in China first and the Q1 planned for the European market later, the presentation showcases a vision of robots that blend entertainment, education, and household utility. The creators stress that the primary goal is to bring these robotic companions into families initially, establishing trust and familiarity before enabling them to perform tasks like food delivery outside the home. With features ranging from voice control and app integration to the ability to display different facial expressions via accessories, these robots aim to become versatile members of the household that can adapt to various activities while maintaining a safe and playful presence for users of all ages.

And here we have a little kid is
sleeping.
>> Uh yes.
>> You want me to wake him up?
>> Sorry, low battery.
>> Hi. So, please introduce yourself.
>> Oh, hi everybody. My name is Randa Prime
of Prime Body. I'm a testing engineer.
Nice to meet you guys. Okay. Now, today
we are introduced two product of our
company. One is the T1, the Transformer
one, and another one.
>> Is it this one?
>> Oh, transformer one is that one. Yeah,
>> that one.
>> So, let me get closer to it.
>> Uh, it was so much fun to see you hold
its hand before.
>> Uh, like a kid, right? You walking
around.
>> Yes.
>> So, this is our transformer one. Very
first human transport robot in this
world. And this is our version one. He
can stand up on the ground with two
feet. And another version is he can
transfer into four feet like a puppy.
Let's see.
Please transform.
Confirm.
See, we can control our robot via our
voice, our apps, and even our gamers. So
that we can add much more funny to our
robot. So one hint in this type is so we
can pat him. He will swing it a little
like a puppy and he love being pat.
He's cute.
Yeah. Okay, let's show something to our
audience. Dance
>> today. I use this dance to show you my
happiness.
>> A dance for us. Let's see.
He's dancing just like a puppy.
>> Can you make Can you make him dance on
two legs?
>> Yeah, sure. Of course. Why not?
>> Stop.
Okay. Please confir please transform.
>> I'm ready to transform.
>> Confirm.
So here's his uh formation of uh two
feet.
>> Okay.
>> Is it stable?
>> Yeah, sure. Of course. We can just pull
him like this.
>> But be careful. If you push him too
much, he he will enact revenge in the
future,
>> you know. Uh if you if you push him too
much, he will want revenge.
>> Yeah. He won't.
>> So you have to Is there a rule like this
or not?
>> Nah, it won't happen. It's fine. Okay.
>> Yeah. Okay. So, uh the sta the stability
is very good and even our children put
him like our full power it won't fall
down.
>> That's cool. Uh uh can you make him do
something cool when he's standing?
>> Yes. Space dance, please.
Nice.
>> So, I want this guy. What's his name?
>> T1.
>> T1. I want T1 to deliver pizza
>> or any food to my home.
>> Yes.
>> Can you do it?
>> Yes, he can do it. Um, first we have to
let him lift out his arm and then we
have a customized little table which can
insert into his holes so that he can
hands on a table that to serve any
snacks or drinks to everybody at home.
Can you just add some hands
>> and they can do everything?
>> Because the the reason why we do not
change his hands like a fingers because
he cannot transform like a dog to do the
uh obstacle skipping or some floor
skipping or cling.
>> I'm not an expert, right? You're the
expert. But it'd be cool if you could
hide the hand here and it just comes
out.
>> Oh, that kind weird because this is a
familyfriendly robot. In that case, our
kids may be a little bit afraid.
>> Ah, I think the kids will like it. But
really, is it
>> coming on the market already on the
market or what?
>> Oh, sorry. We are not really officially
released this month and but we were
released on this month's 20th in China
first then we are going into European
market next year quarter one. We'll see
at that time.
>> So, you have a second robot, right?
>> Uh, this one and that one. the the
publish time is different. Yeah.
>> So what is what do we see about this?
>> Okay. So the robot we seeing right now
is a Q1 product meaning to explore the
world. Okay. So his specialized moves.
>> So he's doing some cool moves. He's got
some very good balance.
>> Uhhuh.
>> He's very stable.
>> Yes. True. He does has 22 degree of
freedom. So he can do some exciting
movements like boxing, Chinese kung fu.
We can let him do everything we we want
by programming which means we can do the
second creation so via our SDK
connection.
>> Did you teach him all these moves?
>> Yes,
>> you did.
>> Uh our team did.
>> So you didn't do all the kung fu
yourself and then he can just copy what
the person does. uh not right now
because he are demon machine they can
just capture 60% if you do something in
front of him. So to ensure the occurance
we just add the program inside of him.
So that in that case he can do some uh
very cool movements without following or
some accidents.
>> So what I want your robot what's his
name?
>> Uh Q1. Q1, I want Q1 to have access to
YouTube.
>> And then you can tell him to do whatever
he will understand from the video and do
it.
>> Oh,
>> so you can just say how can you dance
like the the world champion like break
dancer from 2025,
>> you know, and it goes on YouTube, it
downloads on his brain and it does the
dance. So, how about let's see the chair
poster of Sonado, the football gamer,
the very famous one. Okay.
>> Exactly. So, then just copy Cristiano.
>> Oh, okay. We'll use a gamer.
>> Moment.
>> And how do you send this command? Is it
just by the phone?
>> We can use phone apps and also our gamer
player.
How heavy is he?
>> Um 15 kilogram
>> right?
>> That's cool.
>> He also have a dance of Michael Jackson.
>> Let's try
Michael Jackson.
>> Michael Jackson.
>> Let's turn around. I'm I'm going to see
a robot moonwalk.
>> A Michael Jackson Oh, sorry.
Wrong dance.
>> That's also Michael Jackson, I think.
>> Wrong dance.
>> How do you How do you uh switch it to
Michael?
>> Oh, moment. Because you wait to finish
this this dance.
>> Yes, we have to let him finish.
So, you know, like um there's so much
happening with AI and the physical
world, the real AI. Can you add it to
this? Can you just make it work? Cuz you
have the sensors, right? You have the
camera.
>> Mhm.
>> You have other sensors.
>> Uh yes, we do have some horror sensors
so that we can touch him. They can give
feedback and we do have some to sensor.
He can notice that if there any behind
him or around him. So that's our sensors
does. Let's try the Michael Jackson if
you can.
So
>> is it possible that you can make it like
you know deliver pizzas,
>> deliver food? Yes, we considering that.
But in our mind, we think that the very
important first step is to let our robot
come to family first. Then we can let
him to um
>> go outside.
>> Yes.
>> The flavor.
>> Yes.
>> So, this is just going to stay in the
house. It's a like a toy
>> like for Christmas gift.
>> Yes. That that is one of the options.
And our T1 is off for outdoor
activities. He can transform into a
puppy and do the clapping.
It can do
>> how many kilometers it can go on a
battery.
>> Oh, for the batteries, he can last three
to four hours in total and the charging
time can be 1 hour.
>> It would be cool if these robots if your
robots could go to the battery and
change it itself to another battery and
continue never stop. uh we do have one
solution is that we have some
cooperation with Chinese furniture which
can make the automatical and electrical
furnitureures. So our T1 and T1 they
have their own house. So while their
battery is low they will automatically
come back to their house and do the
wireless charging
>> and they will just uh uh like if I come
back in here
>> they will just go on a corner and just
basically wait and charge itself.
Oh yeah, he will wait in a char by
himself while he has their own cherry at
house.
>> And can he also change his face?
>> Like he can just choose another one put
it on there.
>> You see this one and that one all both
of them are on second designed by by our
designer. So we are open opportunity to
our customer do the DIY and customize
outfit by themsel because all the part
of our Q1 on his bodies can be removed
and tear apart
>> but I want the robot to be able to
change his own face.
>> Oh go choose one put it on.
>> I not not like the Chinese changing face
type right now
>> cuz this one is like looks like
something you added.
>> Yes. This face is from Linus the
influencer on YouTube. Did he show this
video?
>> Uh yes, we have show we have shared the
picture to him right now.
>> But did he post it on his YouTube
channel?
>> Uh I don't know exactly because I'm
testing it in your I think
>> I will put it on his channel. Okay.
Really? I don't know. I'm joking. But he
will watch my video. Maybe we'll see.
>> Yeah. Thank you.
>> You have a robot right here. So come on,
>> make the video. Okay, cool.
>> Thank you. Thank you.
