XMAN-L1 is commercially ready for immediate deployment, with KEENON pitching it for visitor reception, guidance, interactive entertainment and other public-facing service roles.
The 136-cm humanoid packs 42 biomimetic degrees of freedom, 132 Nm peak knee torque, more than 2,000 W per leg and 100 TOPS of edge computing for real-time movement and response.
Doubao and Tencent large language models power its natural-language dialogue, positioning the robot as a lightweight interactive platform in KEENON’s broader “general-purpose + specialized” ecosystem.
The launch extends KEENON’s XMAN humanoid lineup beyond the earlier R1 and F1 models and underscores a wider industry push to move humanoid robots into practical hospitality and commercial settings.
