UBTECH Walker C
A humanoid for reception and visitor guiding. It suits staffed venues; a maker-reported exhibition appearance is not proof of dependable operation in another building.

test track
Three proposed tasks. Ten attempts at each suitable task, with the outcome, time and human help recorded. Confirm the exact robot, software and safe setup first. These tasks are not evidence that this robot can do them.
Complete one supported service task
Proposed task. 0 of 10 attempts run.
Repeat with a second supported destination or input
Proposed task. 0 of 10 attempts run.
Restart the task and record all operator help
Proposed task. 0 of 10 attempts run.
Pick a square to see what each attempt will record.
We will record the outcome, time, control mode, human help, safety stops, exact hardware and software, conditions and full video.
Proposed attempt; not run Only proceed if the exact unit supports the task and the setup is suitable. Keep remote control, scripted operation and autonomous operation separate. A completed attempt alone does not prove autonomy.What each square will show

Keep the conditions visible
Name the control mode, surface, object or prompt and every intervention. Ten attempts are an initial result, not proof of long-term reliability.

Separate our own tests from published claims and the limits of the evidence. The counts below describe records, not performance or confidence scores.

The specific maker claims and any independent observations are listed below. We have not run our own task tests on this robot.
Read the source-based assessmentReadiness
Could you use it in real life?
Intended use: Reception and guiding. Dependable everyday use has not been established by the evidence reviewed. A maker Expo account supports a reported application, not independent sustained performance or staffing requirements.
Read the source-based assessmentA clear limit
This is a research profile based on the sources below, not a hands-on test. Maker claims remain attributed to the maker; they do not prove repeatable performance in your home or workplace.
02 / Can it actually do it?
The claims, with their context.
The wording below keeps each source’s limits. A demonstration, a maker’s claim and a repeatable real-world result are different things.
UBTECH reports Walker C provided guided tours at the China Pavilion South Plaza at Expo 2025 Osaka; supervision, duration and reliability are not disclosed.
Source 1UBTECH claims a steady running pace of 6 km/h; conditions and repeatability are not stated.
Source 1UBTECH’s Walker C product page lists 20 DoF for C; the supplied configuration and counting basis are not established.
Source 2UBTECH’s 2026 issuer filing describes Walker C1 with 53 DoF and a lattice structure; the configuration and included joints are not normalised against Walker C.

Meet UBTECH Walker C
UBTECH lists Walker C separately from Walker C1 and Walker X. Do not infer a revision or parts relationship from the names. UBTECH’s Walker C page lists 20 degrees of freedom, while its 2026 interim filing describes a new-generation Walker C1 with 53 degrees of freedom and a lattice structure. These separately attributed descriptions support treating them as different named models; counting methods, exact lineage and parts interchangeability remain unknown.
Further assessment notes
Setup, support and daily use
04 / Living with it
Right robot, right expectations.
What ownership could involve
Confirm configuration, setup, software access, human supervision, safety measures, connectivity, data handling, maintenance, warranty and local support. No public price or UK availability verified.
Support, software and repairs
Walker C has documented event-guide applications, but that does not establish unrestricted public deployment. Confirm languages, content setup, SDK access, trained operators, spare joints and warranty. The arm row says “Weight: 5 kg”; it is not unambiguously a payload rating. Keep Walker C1 specifications separate.
Questions still open
What needs checking before you decide.
- No footage reviewed; task completion, control mode and recovery remain unassessed.
- Manufacturer claims do not establish independent performance or general safety certification.
- No parts interchangeability with other Walker models established.
- No independent assessment of the claimed Expo application or running speed.
- The maker’s reported C and C1 DoF figures use unverified counting bases; no direct successor or parts-fitment relationship is inferred.
