Chinese robotics firm UniX AI on March 31, 2026 introduced the Panther-series home humanoid robot designed to perform multi-step household tasks such as waking users, preparing meals, cleaning rooms, and organizing items. The wheeled, omnidirectional system stands about 5 feet 3 inches, weighs 176 pounds, runs 8–16 hours, and features dual 8‑DOF arms (26 lb lift), RGB-D cameras and optional LiDAR; it is already being tested in real homes.
