ROKAE
ROKAE is a Beijing robot maker, founded in 2015, that builds collaborative robots, industrial robots and embodied intelligent systems for industrial and commercial use. Its humanoid line includes Human.X, a full-size humanoid about 1.7 m tall and 75 kg with 17 degrees of freedom across arms, legs, waist and neck, six-degree-of-freedom hands and 320 N·m knee torque, combining an AI embodied intelligence engine, multi-modal perception and a vision-language-action model for autonomous task decomposition and high-precision operation. ROKAE also makes Helios, a wheeled dual-arm humanoid for real industrial work that made its debut at Automate 2026 in Chicago. The company traces its founding to co-founder Han Fengtao, who was ROKAE's chief technology officer before going on to found the humanoid start-up Spirit AI. ROKAE's parent, ROKAE (Shandong) Robot Group, supplies robots across factories and commercial settings. Prices for Human.X and Helios have not been published.
💡Notable Achievement: ROKAE showed its wheeled dual-arm humanoid Helios at Automate 2026 in Chicago; co-founder Han Fengtao later founded the humanoid start-up Spirit AI.

Helios Wheeled Robot
By: ROKAE
Launched: 2025
Helios is a wheeled dual-arm embodied intelligent robot developed by ROKAE Robotics, featuring 43 degrees of freedom for flexible manipulation and efficient mobility. It integrates multi-modal fusion perception, including vision, force, and pose sensing, combined with AI decision algorithms and laser SLAM navigation to autonomously navigate complex indoor environments without environmental modification. Helios stands up to 1.8 meters tall when extended and 1.1 meters when folded, with a compact footprint of 600×600 mm. Each of its dual 7-DoF arms offers a 650 mm reach and 5 kg payload with ±0.1 mm repeatability, equipped with force-controlled joints and torque sensors. Suitable for industrial production, commercial services, and educational research, Helios performs tasks like joint assembly, inspection, and material handling with precision and adaptability.
Human.X
By: ROKAE
Launched: 2025
Human.X is ROKAE's first embodied intelligence humanoid robot designed specifically for real-world industrial applications. Built to operate in factory environments, it performs tasks previously limited to humans such as material handling, picking, assembly, and inspection. The robot integrates ROKAE's flexible robotic arm technology with advanced AI, enabling precise force-controlled manipulation and adaptive decision-making. With a height optimized for human workspaces, Human.X features bipedal locomotion for navigating uneven terrain and stairs. Its seven-axis arm design provides exceptional dexterity for complex tasks, while integrated safety systems ensure collaborative operation alongside human workers. The robot's robust construction supports continuous operation in demanding industrial settings.
