Overview

A 14-servo desktop humanoid from UBTECH, the newest version of the Wukong robot that UBTECH sells abroad as Alpha Mini. The campaign adds LLM voice chat, a 5 MP wide-angle camera, a PIR sensor, a self-docking charging station, swarm sync and Blockly/MicroPython programming. It appears to be the AI Wukong that China Telecom and UBTECH launched in China in May 2025 (unconfirmed). The Kickstarter page is still in pre-launch with no launch date or pledge prices. It suits families and classrooms wanting a small walking robot with a big-company maker behind it.
