Product overview
About KEENON XMAN-L1
The XMAN-L1 is KEENON Robotics' compact humanoid, announced in late May 2026. Chinese coverage dates the official launch to 26 May 2026. KEENON positions it as a lightweight interactive unit within its general-purpose plus specialized robot lineup.
Launch coverage lists a 136 cm height, 42 bionic degrees of freedom, a peak knee torque of 132 N·m and more than 2,000 W of power per leg. It also cites 100 TOPS of on-device edge compute, and says the robot uses large language models from Doubao and Tencent for natural-language dialogue. Weight, payload, battery and speed were not stated in the coverage we reviewed.
The robot is aimed at customer-facing work such as visitor interaction, guidance and light entertainment. KEENON demonstrated it at LEAP East 2026, and four units danced at a televised Shanghai event in September. An official KEENON post says it is open for business performances, but no price, general order channel, named customer shipment or delivery count has been published; it is therefore listed as a pilot rather than generally available.
