The "Centaur" robot uses a wheeled-legged structure with dual arms, combining mobility and load capacity for scenarios including mining, emergency rescue, and space exploration. It can handle various terrains and carry an average load of 100-120 kilograms.
The robot is expected to reach small-scale production in the fourth quarter, with a localization rate of 95 percent. Runke Juneng will also showcase a Mars rover-style robot for exploration and rescue missions.
Other Pudong companies, including Elite Robots, AgiBot, and Fourier Intelligence, will present their latest robotic products and solutions at WAIC 2026. Swancor Advanced Materials will also unveil its personal robot innovation.
The district has gathered more than 100 robot manufacturers and industrial chain companies, with over 30 humanoid robot products launched. Pudong continues to accelerate the development of embodied intelligence technologies and applications.
