YMBot C2

YMBot C2 is a walking, lifelike guide robot for culture and tourism from YMBot (Jiangsu Yunmu Intelligent Manufacturing) in Taicang. YMBot calls it the first domestic robot that combines human-like biped walking, two 6-joint arms, realistic silicone skin, dexterous hands and finely driven facial expressions. It stands about 175 cm tall and weighs about 55 kg. The face has between 26 and 34 degrees of freedom, so it can show at least ten emotions, and the whole body has between 65 and 73. It walks at 1.2 m/s or more and moves for about 2 hours on its 20 Ah lithium battery, with arms that can hold about 3 kg at the hand. A large language model lets it hold open-ended conversations that go on for as many turns as needed. YMBot builds each robot in the likeness of a chosen character: historical figures, fairy-tale characters or seasonal figures such as Santa Claus, with IP-licensed looks made to order. The same technology is already in service in museums, science centers, malls and car showrooms. Developers can use ROS2 communication and a supplied URDF model.
