Product overview
About Leju KUAVO 3
KUAVO 3 (Kuavo3) is a high-dynamic biped humanoid from Leju Robotics. Leju released the generation on 5 December 2023, and later published a KUAVO 3.0 product page with more complete specifications than the launch coverage. That page gives a weight of about 45 kg, at least 38 degrees of freedom and omnidirectional walking up to 5 km/h. It also lists a 60 V, 16 Ah battery, peak joint torque of 360 Nm and continuous jumps above 20 cm.
The official specification is materially different from the initial launch reports, which described 26 degrees of freedom and 4.6 km/h. This entry uses the later KUAVO 3.0 figures and records the launch values as a version conflict. Leju offers either grippers or dexterous hands as end effectors and lists a structured-light depth camera. The company's documentation repository supports KUAVO 3.x and provides an open-source software stack for development.
Leju has since released KUAVO 4, 4 Pro, 5 and 5-W. KUAVO 3 remains documented on a dedicated page, but it is absent from the current main product lineup. The discontinued status is therefore an inference that it has been superseded, not an explicit end-of-sale notice.
