Keenon Robotics Unveils Versatile Humanoid Robot at Shanghai AI Conference

Keenon Robotics, a Shanghai-based leader in the commercial service robot market, continues to dominate globally with nearly a 23% shipment market share and over 100,000 units sold worldwide, with sales expected to grow by 50% this year. At the World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC) 2025 in Shanghai, Keenon unveiled its new bipedal humanoid robot, the XMAN-F1, demonstrating human-like mobility and dexterity in hospitality and healthcare scenarios, including serving popcorn and mixing beverages. The XMAN-F1 operates in collaboration with other Keenon robots like the M104 logistics robot and T10 delivery robot, showcasing multi-robot system interoperability beyond single-task automation. While the XMAN-F1 shows promise, it currently requires assistance from other specialized robots to perform complex tasks, indicating that truly versatile humanoid robots are still a gradual and evolving development. Keenon's continued leadership is confirmed by IDC reports, ranking it number one worldwide in both commercial delivery and food delivery robot market segments. The company's pragmatic approach emphasizes incremental deployment of humanoid robots for specific tasks rather than creating all-purpose robots at this stage.
