Product overview
About Zhejiang Humanoid NAVIAI-I3
NAVIAI-I3 is a full-terrain bipedal humanoid from Zhejiang Humanoid Robot Innovation Center, a Ningbo company that develops the NAVIAI line. The centre presented it on 12 November 2025 for security patrols, inspections and protective services. The company's product page calls it an intelligent guardian robot with compliant motion control.
The official product page gives a height of 180 cm, 37 degrees of freedom across the whole body, a maximum joint torque of 360 N·m and a top speed of 9 km/h. A March 2026 product-system release adds a 25 kg payload and says F5D6-series five-finger, six-DoF dexterous hands are integrated in I3. China Daily reports a weight of 80 kg and says the robot keeps its balance on gravel paths and slopes.
The sources do not publish battery capacity, runtime, a list price or sales terms. China Daily reports interest from potential clients and work to accelerate production, but the official product page has no purchase option and no named customer deployment is confirmed. The robot is therefore recorded as a prototype. The 70 kg weight reported by an unverified catalogue is not used.
