Description
Jingchu Elf (荆楚精灵) is a wheeled service humanoid from Hubei Jingchu Humanoid Robot Co., Ltd., a robotics company in Wuhan, China, that sells under the JCBOT brand. It is the company’s wheeled companion to its walking Jingchu No.1. Elf stands about 165 cm tall, close to an average adult. Instead of legs, it rolls on a precise, two-wheel-drive base. As a result, it moves smoothly and steadily through busy indoor spaces.
JCBOT designed Elf to guide and serve people. For example, it can lead visitors to a destination and recognize familiar faces. It also chats with people through a smart built-in AI dialogue system. In addition, LiDAR and a depth camera help it map its surroundings and navigate on its own. Therefore, it suits reception desks, exhibition halls and other public venues.

Elf also gives developers plenty to work with. An NVIDIA Ampere-based computer runs its AI directly on the robot. If a project needs more power, teams can connect an external computing unit. Moreover, JCBOT opens control of every motor and offers SDKs in Python and C++. As a result, researchers can build their own skills and applications on top of the robot.

The robot handles long working days with ease. Its battery lasts about eight hours in mixed use, enough for a full shift. Meanwhile, high-torque joint modules with planetary gears power its arms and upper body. The first 100 orders even include a flight case, safety rope and display stand. In short, Jingchu Elf offers a practical, developer-friendly wheeled humanoid for guidance and service.
