KUAVO-MY vs AlphaBot 2: Key Differences

KUAVO-MY is a compact 166 cm, 55 kg biped with 22 degrees of freedom, or 28 on the exhibition version with a moving head and dexterous hands. AlphaBot 2 puts a humanoid upper body with more than 34 degrees of freedom on a wheeled base, and AI² Robotics has not published its height or weight. AlphaBot 2's waist-and-leg lift gives it a vertical working range of 0 to 240 cm, with 700 mm of reach per arm. KUAVO-MY is built to walk like a person, while AlphaBot 2 is built to reach high and low around a workstation.

KUAVO-MY walks at 0.4 m/s, runs at up to 5 km/h and builds its maps with a 3D LiDAR and a depth camera. AlphaBot 2 moves on a wheeled base and uses what AI² Robotics calls 360° × 360° full-space perception to get around. AI² Robotics has not published AlphaBot 2's speed. KUAVO-MY's legs suit walking research and demonstrations, while AlphaBot 2's wheels suit flat factory and lab floors. KUAVO 4PRO (KUAVO-MY)'s mobility type is legged. KUAVO 4PRO (KUAVO-MY) has 22 degrees of freedom. AlphaBot 2 has 34 degrees of freedom.

KUAVO-MY carries an Orbbec Gemini 335L depth camera, a Livox Mid-360 3D LiDAR, an IMU, a six-microphone array that locates sounds in 360° and temperature sensors in its joints. AlphaBot 2 combines a 360° ring of cameras with stereo cameras, force feedback sensors, a microphone array and proximity sensors. KUAVO-MY has the LiDAR for mapping, while AlphaBot 2 has force feedback for handling. Pick according to whether navigation research or manipulation matters more. KUAVO 4PRO (KUAVO-MY) stands 166 cm tall and weighs 55 kg. AlphaBot 2 stands 240 cm tall.

KUAVO-MY learns tasks by imitation from recorded demonstrations and answers questions through a large-model Q&A system, running AI on an NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX. AlphaBot 2's GOVLA model pairs a slow System 2 that reasons and breaks tasks into steps with a fast System 1 that controls whole-body movement, with DeepSeek technology integrated. AI² Robotics also says AlphaBot 2 learns on site from real industrial data without manual reprogramming. AlphaBot 2 is aimed at long autonomous task chains, KUAVO-MY at teaching by demonstration.

AI² Robotics rates AlphaBot 2 for more than six hours of continuous work. KUAVO-MY gets about an hour of walking from its 60 V, 6 Ah battery, which recharges in 1.5 hours or less. AlphaBot 2's runtime is about six times longer. That suits it to long factory shifts, while KUAVO-MY fits research sessions and demonstrations. KUAVO 4PRO (KUAVO-MY)'s safety features include low-battery audio alert and joint temperature monitoring. KUAVO 4PRO (KUAVO-MY)'s sensors include Orbbec Gemini 335L depth camera, Livox Mid-360 3D LiDAR, body IMU and joint temperature sensors. AlphaBot 2's sensors include RGB cameras, stereo cameras, force feedback sensors and microphone array.

KUAVO-MY is Leju's platform for research labs, exhibition and shopping guidance, education and industrial trials. AlphaBot 2 targets automotive, semiconductor and biotech manufacturing, has been shown cooking, doing sterile filling, packing and inspecting, and has airports and residential communities planned. KUAVO-MY is a platform for developing and showing off humanoid skills. Choose KUAVO-MY for research, demonstrations and guided tours, or AlphaBot 2 for multi-step lab and factory tasks over long shifts. KUAVO 4PRO (KUAVO-MY)'s listed uses include bipedal walking, obstacle traversal, tote carrying and customer guidance. AlphaBot 2's listed uses include autonomous cooking, sterile filling operations, unpacking and packaging and quality inspection.

KUAVO-MY's safety features are an emergency stop on its body, a low-battery alarm and joint temperature monitoring. AlphaBot 2's safety features and certifications have not been published by AI² Robotics. KUAVO-MY's published features are basic but documented. Buyers considering AlphaBot 2 for work near people should ask AI² Robotics for its safety documentation. KUAVO 4PRO (KUAVO-MY) runs for about 60 minutes per charge and recharges in 1.5 hours. AlphaBot 2 runs for more than 6 hours per charge. KUAVO 4PRO (KUAVO-MY) reaches 0.4 m/s.

KUAVO-MY is built on Leju's open, ROS-based kuavo-ros-control stack for secondary development, and this edition runs the OpenHarmony-based KaihongOS. AlphaBot 2 runs on AI² Robotics' AlphaBrain embodied-AI platform with the GOVLA vision-language-action model, which learns from real industrial data and improves through over-the-air updates. KUAVO-MY gives developers direct access to standard ROS tools, while AlphaBot 2 is a vendor-managed system that improves through AI² Robotics' own updates. Choose KUAVO-MY for development work and AlphaBot 2 for factory deployment.
