SUMMARY:

 

Walker C is UBTECH’s commercial‑service humanoid robot, designed for tour guiding, reception, visitor assistance, and multilingual interaction.

 

It stands 163 cm, weighs 43 kg, includes 20 DOF, and uses UBTECH’s Embodied Interactive Large Model for natural conversation and adaptive narration.

 

Walker C is the official AI tour guide of the China Pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka.

 

EDITORIAL:

 

Walker C is UBTECH’s first humanoid built specifically for public‑facing commercial environments, not industrial work.

It combines:

 

• U‑SLAM autonomous navigation

• Multilingual embodied‑AI dialogue

• 20‑DOF whole‑body motion

• 6 km/h bipedal walking

• Adaptive narration + Q&A

 

This makes it ideal for exhibitions, malls, airports, museums, and office buildings.

 

Unlike Walker S2 (industrial) or Walker E (research), Walker C is optimized for:

 

• Visitor engagement

• Tour‑guide behavior

• Crowd‑safe mobility

• Light object interaction

 

UBTECH positions Walker C as the first mass‑deployable service humanoid in its lineup.
