Chinese robots left international visitors at IFA utterly baffled.
This year’s newly launched robotics exhibition zone was especially lively. One booth stood out dramatically—crowded entirely with foreign visitors, who erupted into loud cheers every time the robot transformed.
The robot that stole the show at IFA is the Qiyuan T1—the world’s first transformable personal robot.
It autonomously and seamlessly switches between bipedal wheeled-legged and quadrupedal configurations—and intelligently determines the optimal form based on its environment and task requirements.
It’s essentially a real-world version of “Transformers.”
The Qiyuan Q1 is equally distinctive—it prioritizes open-source architecture and full customizability.
Not only can its exterior be customized, but users can also build robotic capabilities via an intelligent platform—even without coding expertise, thanks to a no-code interface that enables seamless integration of diverse skills.
By the way, both the Qiyuan T1 and Qiyuan Q1 are now open for pre-order in China—with early adopters eligible for discount benefits. Interested readers can place their orders now.
From the Qiyuan T1 and Qiyuan Q1, it’s clear Qiyuan aims to deliver more than just “cool-looking” robots—it’s building truly purchasable, usable consumer-grade robots.
Moreover, Qiyuan’s confidence in launching pre-orders this early signals that humanoid robots in China have moved beyond the “visionary promise” stage and are now entering genuine consumer markets.
For consumer-grade robots, key metrics go far beyond raw specs or flashy movements—it’s about availability and real-world utility: Can consumers actually buy them? And once at home, will they genuinely use them?
On the front of practical usability, Qiyuan robots are already leading the way.
The Qiyuan T1 can carry lightweight payloads; when entrusted with a gimbal camera, it performs smooth camera movement and subject tracking—effectively transforming into a “robotic cinematographer.”
The enthusiastic cheers from on-site audiences clearly reflect how much people love the Qiyuan T1.
Indeed, the Qiyuan T1 and Qiyuan Q1 possess the technical prowess to match user expectations.
The Qiyuan T1 received the IFA Innovation Achievement Award, while the Qiyuan Q1 earned the IFA Innovation Honorable Mention. As of September 7, Qiyuan robots have collectively won 15 awards—delivering a small yet powerful “Made-in-China” robotics震撼 (impact) to the global stage.
As everyone has seen, robotics took center stage this year at IFA—the world’s premier consumer electronics and real-world applications exhibition—signaling that humanoid robots may soon enter our daily lives as ubiquitously as televisions and refrigerators.
With the Qiyuan T1 and Qiyuan Q1, Qiyuan has demonstrated that even amid this new “appliance boom,” Chinese brands can win over global consumers through technological excellence and compelling product design.
At this pivotal moment, Qiyuan has officially launched its global expansion initiative—signing a strategic partnership with Auto Group to leverage their distribution network and bring Qiyuan robots into homes worldwide.
From R&D and domestic manufacturing, to domestic pre-orders and now overseas channel deployment—Qiyuan Robotics is systematically paving the path for humanoid robots to reach the global consumer market, turning the slogan “robots in every household” into reality.
From September 4–8, the world’s largest consumer electronics and home appliance exhibition—IFA 2026—took place in Berlin.
As the “most authoritative new media outlet covering IFA”—globally recognized by AI experts for its incisive reporting—LeiTech dispatched its largest and most elite on-site reporting team to Berlin this year. Deploying a “2+N” model (two live hosts + multiple on-site editors + multiple remote editors), LeiTech delivered immersive, multi-dimensional, real-time coverage of IFA 2026—with special focus on AI Agents integrated with home appliances and hardware, robotics technologies applied to domestic environments, emerging trends in smart “vehicle-home-personal life” ecosystems, and Chinese brands’ global presence.
LeiTech’s IFA 2026 reporting team is currently conducting intensive on-the-ground coverage in Berlin—stay tuned!
