Description
Revealed in July 2025, the L7 is RobotEra’s second full‑size biped after Star1, positioned as a faster, more dexterous flagship. Pre‑orders opened alongside limited pilot projects, while a sister model M7 offers a fixed‑base upper‑body for specialised work.
The 55‑DoF skeleton drives 12‑DoF hands capable of both clothes‑folding finesse and 20 kg payloads. Proprietary direct‑drive actuators allow explosive moves—360‑degree spin jumps, break‑dance spins—without sacrificing industrial drilling or sorting tasks. At top speed the robot clocks 4 m s⁻¹, outpacing most current humanoids.
Computation is anchored by ERA‑42, RobotEra’s end‑to‑end embodied large model that merges visual, proprioceptive and language streams for autonomous task sequencing. The company touts “group intelligence,” showing L7 teaming with M7 units for warehouse sorting with no external server in the loop.
RobotEra says over 200 humanoids were shipped in 2025 and claims orders from nine of the world’s ten largest tech firms. Initial pilots focus on logistics, retail and advanced R&D labs, with a wider production run planned after field validation of safety, battery life and protective ingress ratings.
