Mantis Standard

Mantis Standard, nicknamed "Xiaobai" (Little White), is a modular wheeled humanoid from Blue Worm Robotics in Xi'an, launched on September 14, 2026 with a starting price of RMB 9,800 (about USD 1,400). Its idea is "one brain, many forms": the arm, omnidirectional base, lifting waist, sliding stage and camera head are separate modules joined by quick-mount interfaces, so the same system can work as a single desktop arm, a mobile base, a dual-arm station or a full humanoid. Higher versions have up to 22 degrees of freedom, with seven-joint arms that each carry up to 7 kg (14 kg with both arms) and joints with up to 120 N·m of torque. The head holds 4K, 60 fps binocular cameras on a three-axis gimbal, wrist cameras are optional, and higher versions add LiDAR. The base moves in all directions, the waist lifts the upper body by 550 mm, and the whole machine runs for about 3 hours. Blue Worm's BW-Brain software carries its Wormhole embodied-AI models, a VR teleoperation system records demonstrations with latency under 10 milliseconds, and ROS 2, MoveIt 2, an SDK and simulation tools support research. The company positions it for university research and data collection, with light commercial, inspection and home tasks as secondary uses.
