Summary
Shenzhen-based Leju Robotics has launched the fifth-generation KUAVO 5 humanoid robot and its wheeled variant, KUAVO 5-W, marking a major leap in industrial automation. With a modular design that allows swappable limbs and locomotion modes, KUAVO 5 is engineered for factory floors, logistics hubs, and smart homes. The launch follows Leju’s $200M pre-IPO funding round and signals its intent to scale humanoid deployment across China’s industrial landscape.
Editorial:
They don’t just walk—they roll, swap limbs, and adapt to the task at hand. Leju Robotics’ KUAVO 5 and KUAVO 5-W represent a new generation of humanoid systems designed not for spectacle, but for service. In a three-minute launch video, KUAVO 5 is seen navigating an automotive plant, manipulating tools, and transitioning seamlessly between bipedal and wheeled locomotion. The robot’s modular architecture allows users to reconfigure its arms, legs, and mobility base depending on the environment—whether it’s a warehouse, smart home, or public-facing role.
This isn’t a lab prototype. It’s a production-ready platform backed by $200 million in funding and deployed in real-world scenarios. Leju’s collaboration with Huawei and China Mobile on 5G-A integration means KUAVO can operate with low latency and high concurrency, enabling multi-tasking and human-machine collaboration at scale.
