YMBot E3
AI ChatLast updated:
YMBot E3 is a walking education humanoid from YMBot (Jiangsu Yunmu Intelligent Manufacturing) in Taicang, built so schools, universities and research labs can study humanoid movement and control. It stands about 140 cm tall and weighs about 35 kg with its battery, and has 27 degrees of freedom without its optional hands, with wide rotation and swing ranges in the joints. Its head has a sound-and-light display, and the modular design lets teams add optional voice interaction, extra sensors and an optional five-finger dexterous hand with motor force feedback that grips with at least 50 N. Both arms together can carry about 2 kg, joints repeat their positions to 0.1 degrees, and the robot walks at about 1.2 m/s for roughly 2 hours on its 10 Ah lithium battery. Developers can build their own software because it supports ROS2 communication and comes with a URDF model, and its joints talk over CAN bus and EtherCAT. YMBot showed the E3 among its exhibits at the 2026 World Robot Conference in Beijing.
