Description
Unveiled in July 2025, MagicBot Z1 stands just 140 cm tall and weighs 40 kg, giving it a human‑child footprint that slips easily through tight indoor spaces while keeping enough mass for stable locomotion. The first production run went straight to market (“release‑and‑ship”), signalling MagicLab’s confidence in its readiness for field trials rather than lab demos.
Each of the robot’s 24 core joints is driven by MagicLab’s proprietary high‑torque smart modules; torque peaks above 130 N·m let Z1 recover from heavy pushes, vault back to its feet after deliberate falls and even execute deep back‑bends. Optional upgrades expand the joint count to 49. In testing the robot covers more than 2.5 m s‑¹ (~9 km h‑¹) at a jog, outperforming most same‑size bipeds.
A 360‑degree sensor suite—stereo/depth cameras plus 3‑D LiDAR—feeds MagicLab’s navigation stack for uneven factory floors or cluttered retail aisles. When fitted with the 11‑DoF MagicHand S01, each five‑fingered hand can grasp delicate parts or lift up to 5 kg, extending Z1’s skillset from pick‑and‑place to light assembly and customer‑facing gestures.
MagicLab has raised several hundred million RMB in angel and strategic rounds since late 2024, earmarked for scaling human‑safe actuators and large‑model‑driven embodied AI. Initial Z1 units target industrial pilots, public‑venue service and research labs, with broader household deployment on the roadmap as software libraries mature.
