Description
E1 is a compact humanoid robot from Noetix Robotics, a Beijing company founded by researchers from Tsinghua and Zhejiang universities. Noetix designed it as a taller, more capable version of its sporty N2 robot. E1 stands 136 cm tall, about the height of a child. Compared with N2, it adds extra joints in the waist and arms. As a result, it balances strong leg performance with more useful upper-body skills.
E1 moves with surprising athletic ability. For example, it won the standing long jump at the 2025 World Humanoid Robot Games with a 1.25-meter jump. Noetix’s robots also took second and fourth place in the 2025 Beijing humanoid half marathon. In addition, E1 can run at over 3.5 meters per second. Noetix trains its movements with reinforcement learning, so it walks steadily indoors and outdoors.
