Description
Robbyant R1 represents a bold step into embodied intelligence from Ant Group, transforming their digital-first AI expertise into a physical, task-capable robot. Unveiled in 2025 by the company’s robotics unit, R1 is envisioned as a versatile assistant for hospitality, culinary, public service, and institutional roles. It is not positioned merely as a research prototype, but as a real-world service robot — capable of cooking, serving as a tour guide, assisting in medical scenarios, or acting in public-facing roles.

At its debut, R1 impressed crowds by performing kitchen tasks: during a live demo, the robot cooked shrimp and prepared dishes, handling ingredients and utensils under AI-control, showing that it can operate in structured but challenging environments. The company claims R1 can recognize objects, navigate space, and coordinate manipulation — demonstrating the potential of combining AI perception with robotics hardware for everyday tasks.
Beyond kitchens, Robbyant envisions broader applications: as a tour guide in museums or public venues, a helper in pharmacies or healthcare settings (e.g., sorting medicine, providing basic consultations), or as an assistant in hospitality and service industries. The underlying strategy seems to be “scenario-based robotics”: instead of selling standalone robots, R1 is offered as part of integrated solutions for businesses and institutions, which may include installation, software, support, and customization.
