Description
Kuavo-5 represents Leju Robot’s evolving vision of a modular, versatile humanoid — one designed to adapt to both industrial and everyday tasks. The designers built it so it can switch between walking and wheeled locomotion. This flexibility lets it handle diverse environments, from factory floors to smooth indoor surfaces. As a result, Kuavo-5 offers both agility and efficiency in a single platform.

160 pages of exclusive insight from global robotics experts – uncover funding trends, technology challenges, leading manufacturers, supply chain shifts, and surveys and forecasts on future humanoid applications.
In addition, Kuavo-5 emphasizes adaptability. Its modular design allows interchangeable hands (dexterous, grippers, claws) and configurable limbs. Therefore, users can tailor the robot to specific tasks — heavy lifting, fine manipulation, or simple transport. This modularity reduces the need for multiple robot types, making it more cost-effective for companies or labs.
Moreover, the robot targets both industrial and home-service applications. Leju plans to use it in factories (for assembly, quality control, logistics) as well as in domestic settings for chores or assistance. This dual focus shows in its reported payload capacity, motion control, and battery life — designed to meet real-world demands beyond just demonstrations.

Finally, Kuavo-5 aims to bridge research, automation, and everyday usability. It offers a practical platform for testing AI, automation workflows, and human–robot collaboration. Because it supports multiple end-effectors and locomotion modes, teams can iterate quickly and scale across use cases. In short — it hopes to serve as a universal humanoid base rather than a one-off project.
