Beijing, China--(Newsfile Corp. - June 30, 2025) - Recently, the embodied intelligence company ROBOTERA launched an eye-catching ultra-humanoid service robot: ROBOTERA Q5. The robot immediately captured attention with its sleek, curved "tiny waist" design, earning it the nickname "Tiny-Waisted Pro" in the robotics world.

Q5 adopts a fully humanlike design that redefines human-robot interaction. It chats, assists, and moves like a real person, transforming instantly from a "rigid tool" into a "caring companion." In doing so, it shifts the focus of the service robot industry from competing on functionality to delivering elevated, human-centric experiences - a complete redefinition of what service robots can be.
Ultra-Humanlike Interaction
ROBOTERA Q5 features 44 high degrees of freedom, giving it a lifelike appearance and motion system.
Its uniquely designed "tiny waist" is narrower than an iPhone, lending the robot a silhouette close to the human form. These degrees of freedom allow it to twist its waist, shake hands, swing arms, and turn its head in ways that mirror human movement. As a result, interactions feel far more natural and engaging - particularly when communicating with seniors or children, where emotional connection matters most.
Combined with a humanlike voice engine and large language model technology, the Q5 earns its reputation as an "emotional intelligence expert." It can accurately interpret commands in over 37 languages, and whether it's working as a shopping assistant, receptionist, or tour guide, the Q5 speaks with ease and empathy - like a helpful companion who happens to know a lot.
Agile and Capable - A Gold Medal Worker in the Service Industry
(1) Wide-Range Dexterous Operations: Handles Work with Ease
ROBOTERA Q5 is equipped with bionic 7-axis high-precision robotic arms and 11 degrees of freedom "Fairy Hands." It performs up to 10 click actions per second and can lift 10 kg with one hand - roughly the weight of 20 bottles of water.
Its legs feature 3 degrees of freedom, allowing them to bend, raise, and lower with flexibility. Basic tasks like carrying bags, serving dishes, delivering water, transporting items, folding quilts, or pressing elevator buttons are effortless. And for more challenging motions - reaching high shelves, squatting to polish shoes, or bending to pick up items - the Q5 handles them with confidence and grace. It's truly an all-around service professional.

(2) Navigates Tight Spaces: Small Size, Big Capability
In confined workspaces, Q5 shines with its ultra-compact base (582mm × 519mm × 225mm), supported by LiDAR and vision-fusion navigation systems. It becomes a "spatial shuttle expert," able to autonomously plan routes, avoid obstacles, and navigate complex layouts.

(3) Built-In Embodied AI Model: The More It Learns, the Smarter It Gets
Q5's ultra-humanlike posture is not just visually engaging - it's also a powerful tool for data collection. It is embedded with ROBOTERA's proprietary embodied AI model, ERA-42, which enables full-body teleoperation using human-generated motion data.
This dramatically lowers data collection costs while improving learning efficiency. Over time, as more scenarios and tasks are encountered, Q5 adapts faster and becomes smarter - making its growth curve more like a human trainee than a machine.
Ideal for Research: Full-Body Teleoperation and Data Capture in One Solution
As a next-generation hardware platform, Q5 enables a closed-loop system of teleoperation, data collection, and model iteration. It supports precise whole-body control via data gloves and VR devices, creating a comprehensive setup for real-time manipulation.
With an end-to-end data solution - from acquisition and processing to training and verification - the Q5 further improves stability and data efficiency, offering a robust research platform for embodied AI development.

The Ultimate Multi-Role Worker: Flexible Across Service Scenarios
With its ultra-humanoid form and comprehensive motion capability, ROBOTERA Q5 solves the typical problems of traditional robots - limited interaction and narrow use cases. It can serve as a shopping assistant or waiter in commercial spaces, press elevator buttons or shine shoes in hotels, or deliver water and supplies in hospitals and eldercare settings.
Whether as a sales clerk, service staff, or front-desk receptionist, Q5 can quickly switch roles depending on where it's needed. It's truly a "universal worker" for the service industry.
