Noetix Robotics introduced a compact humanoid robot E1
English translation from Unibot. Source published 2026-10-30.
E1 is a compact humanoid from Noetix Robotics. It is intended for research, education and entertainment.
Height 136 cm, weight 40 kg. Small body, but emphasis is placed on mobility.
Specifications
The maximum speed is 12.6 km/h, the peak torque at the knee reaches 150 Nm. Operating time is two hours per charge. There are five fingers on each hand, the stated strength is 5 kg.
All together, the E1 is a platform for studying how a compact humanoid moves through a physical environment and performs basic object sorting.
What you can explore
E1 navigation provides several specific directions for experimentation and demonstration. Obstacle avoidance is the study of movement around obstacles. Stairs add height differences and precision foot placement.
The 100m sprint is a playground for studying stable locomotion, while jumping and landing are a separate challenge with balance and shock management. By the way, E1 won the 2025 World Games of Humanoid Robots in a standing jump - quite a competitive achievement.
Sorting goods provides a practical task for education and science, although the low level of manipulation requires restrained expectations.
The technical base is provided by a 6 TOPS motion controller and NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano Super configuration: 67 TOPS, 8 GB of RAM, 128 GB of storage.
Price and origin
E1 is already in production. The stated price is 21 thousand dollars. The manufacturer, Noetix Robotics, is a Beijing-based company founded by researchers from Tsinghua and Zhejiang universities.
The robot is aimed at education, research and entertainment, placing it in the growing market for humanoid platforms outside of industrial applications.
Development platform
Linux and open SDK support further development. WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.2 and built-in 4G give you multiple integration options.
For future users, the main thing about the E1 is its combination of compact size, demonstrated locomotion and development hardware. The evolving overall assessment is also useful as context: it is a platform for structured experimentation and capability development, rather than a mature general-purpose robot.
