Description
Standing just over a metre tall and tipping the scales at 30 kg, the Noetix N2 is built for agility. Lab tests clock its bipedal gait at up to 12.6 km h⁻¹, and videos of continuous back-flips underscore a chassis rated for 150 N·m peak joint torque. The short stature keeps inertia low and makes the robot safe to operate in household spaces.
Each leg carries five powered joints and each arm four, delivering natural strides, jumps and upper-body gestures. A default “ball-hand” lets N2 push doors or carry parcels; swap-in 5-finger end-effectors enable light pick-and-place tasks with a 5 kg walking payload.
A Rockchip RK3588s controller (6 TOPS) runs Linux, with Python / C++ hooks for rapid prototyping. Media demos show Jetson Orin versions paired with generative-AI chat for voice and vision, hinting at forthcoming LLM plug-ins. Dual depth cameras (forward & down-slanted) feed millimetre-grade 3-D perception, while USB, HDMI and Ethernet ports keep expansion simple.
A 48 V/7 Ah battery slides out in under five seconds, good for two hours—or 2.5 km—of nonstop walking. With quick-charge in roughly the same time, teams can keep the robot cycling through lessons, demos or elder-care rounds all day. Early units ship on a 90-day lead time as Noetix ramps volume production.
