Fuxi
AI ChatLast updated:
Fuxi (伏羲) is a full-size 'special-purpose humanoid robot' developed by the innovation institute of state-owned defense group NORINCO and shown at the 2026 World Robot Conference in Beijing. Weighing about 90 kg, it is operated through NORINCO's 'External Avatar' teleoperation system, which reproduces a human operator's body movements on the robot in real time. Fuxi is aimed at reconnaissance and patrols, hazardous-area work, sentry duty with personnel identification and alerts, and multi-robot formation operations for security and emergency missions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about this robot
Q1. What is Fuxi, and what problem is it designed to solve?
Fuxi is a full-size humanoid robot from Chinese state-owned defense group NORINCO. It is a special-purpose machine meant to work in dangerous places on behalf of people who control it remotely.
Q2. What are the main capabilities and key features of Fuxi?
It mirrors a human operator's movements in real time through the External Avatar system, can patrol and reconnoiter in all weather, identify people and raise alerts on sentry duty, and can work together with other Fuxi robots in formation.
Q3. Who is Fuxi built for, and which industries can benefit from it?
It is aimed at security and emergency organizations for missions such as counterterrorism, emergency response, overseas peacekeeping, hazardous-area work and night-time urban patrols.
Q4. Is Fuxi a commercial product or still a research prototype?
It is a special-purpose product shown by a defense manufacturer, so it should be viewed as a state and institutional system rather than a consumer or general commercial robot.
Q5. Is Fuxi currently available for purchase, and when is it expected to ship?
Not to the public. NORINCO has not announced a price, sales channel or delivery date, and Fuxi appears to be intended for institutional customers.
Q6. How does Fuxi actually work in real-world environments?
A human operator wears a motion-sensing system, and the robot reproduces the operator's body movements at the remote site. Coordinated whole-body control keeps the robot balanced while several robots can be managed together.
Q7. When was Fuxi announced or officially launched?
NORINCO showed Fuxi at the 2026 World Robot Conference in Beijing in August 2026.
Q8. How is Fuxi different from other robots in the same category?
Most humanoids are sold for factories, logistics or research. Fuxi comes from a defense conglomerate and is built around a teleoperation solution described as China's first independently controllable one for full-size humanoids.
Q9. Does Fuxi require additional development or customization after purchase?
Yes. As a special-purpose system, it would need to be integrated with the customer's command, communication and safety procedures, and operators must be trained on the External Avatar equipment.
Q10. What is the future roadmap or planned upgrades for Fuxi?
NORINCO has not published a public roadmap, but it says the technology covers motion sensing, motion transfer across robot platforms and whole-body control, and it demonstrated multi-robot coordination as the next step.
