Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about this robot
Q1. What is T1, and what problem is it designed to solve?
Prime T1 is PrimeBOT's transformable personal robot. It solves the problem that most consumer robots work in only one setting by changing itself between a wheeled humanoid for indoors and a quadruped for rough outdoor terrain.
Q2. What are the main capabilities and key features of T1?
It switches forms autonomously, turns on the spot indoors, walks over grass, gravel, slopes and stairs outdoors, uses force control for gentle contact such as holding hands, and has a flip camera and tilted display for voice-controlled and follow-me filming.
Q3. Who is T1 built for, and which industries can benefit from it?
It is built for families, creators and gadget enthusiasts who want a companion robot that can follow them around and help capture content.
Q4. Is T1 a commercial product or still a research prototype?
It is a commercial consumer product now on sale in China.
Q5. Is T1 currently available for purchase, and when is it expected to ship?
Yes. PrimeBOT opened Chinese consumer sales on September 20, 2026 from RMB 19,999, with a higher-priced Pro edition. Availability abroad has not been announced.
Q6. How does T1 actually work in real-world environments?
A shared hardware and software architecture and a cross-morph locomotion model let it balance and move in both forms. Its camera tracks people, and its memory and dialogue features support ongoing interaction.
Q7. When was T1 announced or officially launched?
PrimeBOT introduced the Prime series at CES 2026, showed T1 at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference in July and IFA in September, and started sales on September 20, 2026.
Q8. How is T1 different from other robots in the same category?
Few consumer robots change body shape. T1's autonomous quadruped-to-wheeled switching and its focus on filming and companionship set it apart from fixed-form humanoids and robot dogs.
Q9. Does T1 require additional development or customization after purchase?
Customization is possible through the app and the series' open co-creation approach, but T1 is designed to work largely out of the box.
Q10. What is the future roadmap or planned upgrades for T1?
PrimeBOT plans to expand the Prime series and improve T1's behaviors and locomotion. A dated hardware roadmap has not been published.
