Product overview

About Leju KUAVO 5

KUAVO 5 is the fifth-generation flagship of Leju Robotics' industrial humanoid line, sold as a biped and as a wheeled variant called the 5-W. Leju's IPO application draft lists the biped at 173 cm, 63.5 kg and 41 degrees of freedom in its dexterous-hand configuration, where the body itself has 29. The same document gives a whole-body payload of 20 kg, with a single-arm maximum of 5 kg, and at least two hours of endurance per battery.

Leju's product manuals describe the Advanced edition with 29 degrees of freedom excluding end effectors and one-degree-of-freedom two-finger grippers. The Showroom Compute configuration adds six-degree-of-freedom dexterous hands and NVIDIA AGX Orin compute. Sensors include a Gemini 335L depth camera, a Livox Mid-360 LiDAR and a six-microphone array. Leju positions the robot for teleoperation-first work in factories and service spaces, and publishes development manuals and an open tools repository for secondary development.

The product manual gives about one hour of walking per battery and a charge time of no more than 1.5 hours, which differs from the IPO figure of at least two hours. Leju has not published a price. Its homepage lists a Tmall shop and a phone number but no KUAVO 5 sales page, so no order route is recorded here.
