The new product is the company’s third key humanoid robot, following Xia Lan and Xia Qi. It is positioned as a good-looking, emotionally intelligent, and easy-to-use robot. The company has already begun to receive preorders for it.

According to the company, the Xingxingxia P01 features a pioneering dual-form design, with a "Robot Body Mode" and a "Flying Trooper Mode," allowing it to tackle complex environments.

In "Flying Trooper Mode," the robot, equipped with a split chassis, can cover areas exceeding 10,000 square meters. It is capable of constructing 3D maps, planning paths, intelligently avoiding obstacles, and guiding or following a target object. Additionally, it can adapt to a variety of indoor surfaces, including tiles, wooden floors, and carpets.

Notably, the Xingxingxia P01 boasts a battery life of over 10 hours, supports automatic charging, and is compatible with elevator linkage systems. This enables it to autonomously complete tasks across different floors, making it highly suitable for high-frequency patrol scenarios in shopping malls, exhibition halls, office buildings, and other similar settings.

Users can control the robot's expressions, voice, walking, and movements in real-time via an extremely simple interface on its "Giant App." Additionally, the Xingxingxia P01 supports motion recording, allowing users to easily record and replay the robot's movements.

The robot supports over 10 Chinese dialects and international languages, meeting the needs of diverse user groups.

It also offers a customizable appearance and functional design services. For example, they can choose from sci-fi style, bionic half-face, or bionic full-face designs. The robot's hands can be customized with options such as grippers or dexterous hands to suit various scenarios.

Users can also tailor the robot's "personality," expressions, voice timbre, movements, and knowledge base. This allows the robot to have a distinct character, making it suitable for corporate IP branding, brand collaborations, exhibition interactions, and other similar applications.

Founded in 2024, Digital Huaxia garnered instant fame for Xialan, its first humanoid robot, which quickly gained popularity for its lifelike facial features and highly intelligent interactive experience. In March of this year, the company launched another general-purpose humanoid robot named Xiaqi.
