Run Robotics Centaur

Centaur is a wheel-legged robot from Run Robotics (润科具能), the Shanghai company Shanghai Runke Juneng Technology (上海润科具能科技有限公司). Runyang Technology (润阳科技) describes the company as its controlled subsidiary in a capital-increase notice, and IT之家 reports that Fourier (傅利叶) is also a shareholder. Run Robotics first showed Centaur publicly at a Shanghai technology-fair follow-up salon in July 2026 and subsequently exhibited it at WAIC 2026.

The robot pairs a four-wheel, wheel-leg lower body with a human-like upper body. Its arms retain motion for grasping, twisting and operating tools, and the platform can take dual arms, dexterous hands or multi-dimensional force sensors. Sensing combines lidar, binocular vision and depth cameras. The company says the whole system is designed to an explosion-proof rating.

Centaur targets hazardous work in nuclear facilities, mines, oilfields, steel plants and emergency response. The company cites a 100–120 kg moving payload and a 210 kg extreme static load. It planned small-scale production capacity and initial order deliveries for the fourth quarter of 2026, with more than 95% domestic content. No completed delivery was confirmed by 8 October, so status remains prototype. Height, weight, degrees of freedom, battery and price are not published.
