Overview

At $1,400 in China, this is the price revolution, a biped light enough to let loose in a living room. But there's no official US channel, gray-market sellers charge 3×+, and the EDU tier needed for real control climbs past $12k. Specs also differ between sources. Worth watching for a US launch.

BalanceReinforcement-learned walking, running and dance policies. Noetix notes the stock controller walks blind and does not actively resist pushes, so rough ground, stairs and slopes over 20° are off limits.
SDKConsumer models use the Noetix Run app plus the HighController DDS SDK (C++/Python) for scripting stock behaviors. EDU models add LowController motor-level control at 500 Hz, audio/video access and the noetix_bumi_lab RL training framework
