Kuavo-5

Leju Robot's Kuavo-5 represents the company's modular approach to humanoid design, offering flexibility through interchangeable components and hybrid mobility. Founded in 2016 in Shenzhen, Leju has emerged as a leader in China's humanoid industrialization effort, delivering its 100th full-size humanoid robot in 2025.

The Kuavo-5's defining feature is its ability to switch between walking and wheeled locomotion, allowing it to adapt to diverse environments from factory floors to smooth indoor surfaces. The modular design extends to interchangeable limbs and hands, enabling configuration for specific applications without complete platform changes.

Leju's focus on practical deployment drives the Kuavo series design philosophy. Self-developed joints deliver up to 360 N·m peak torque and 150 rpm rated speed. These specifications derived from real-world operational requirements rather than research benchmarks. Bipedal locomotion supports omnidirectional walking at 4.6 km/h across varied terrain including sand, grass, and obstacles.

With approximately $200 million in funding, Leju possesses resources to pursue aggressive industrialization. The company's collaboration with Huawei integrates KaihongOS (based on OpenHarmony) and Pangu embodied intelligence for rapid learning and adaptive behavior. Kuavo-5 targets industrial automation, warehouse operations, and home service applications where the modular approach enables efficient deployment across multiple use cases.
