PHYBOT C1: A New Embodied AI Partner Arrives
The future of personal robotics just gained another strong competitor. PHYBOT has officially unveiled the C1, a compact humanoid robot built for homes, social environments, and everyday interactive scenarios. Standing at 128 centimeters and weighing 28 kilograms, the C1 combines friendly design with real engineering capability, making it one of the most promising new entries in the embodied AI space.
A Humanoid Built for Real Interaction
The heart of the C1 is its advanced imaging module, which enables rich multimodal interaction. This allows the robot to recognize people, interpret context, and respond in a natural and engaging way. PHYBOT clearly designed the C1 to feel more like a helpful companion than a machine, and its physical form reinforces that goal.
The C1 features a skin-friendly exterior and a welcoming aesthetic. This makes it suitable for homes, classrooms, small businesses, and entertainment settings where comfort and approachability matter.
Powerful Mechanics for a Robot Its Size
Despite its friendly appearance, the C1 delivers impressive mechanical performance. Key capabilities include:
More than 25 degrees of freedom for smooth, human-like movement
Maximum joint torque of 244 N·m
A 5 kilogram single-arm payload capacity and a 20 kilogram back load capacity
High-precision actuation that supports coordinated, stable motion
These specs position the C1 far above most compact humanoids and allow it to handle a wide range of everyday tasks.
Designed for Communication and Engagement
PHYBOT equipped the C1 with features that elevate its interactive presence. The robot includes an HD projection module capable of displaying information, visuals, or guided content directly in front of the user. It also incorporates a dynamic breathing light strip that reinforces expression, feedback, and emotional cues.
Combined with its sensor system and imaging capabilities, the C1 creates a user experience that feels responsive and alive.
Practical Features for Daily Use
Beyond performance and appearance, the C1 is designed for real-world practicality. The robot uses a removable battery that offers more than 4 hours of endurance, which makes extended sessions simple and convenient. The modular power system supports quick swapping and near-continuous operation in busy environments.
HouseBots Take
The PHYBOT C1 represents a meaningful step toward approachable, interactive humanoid robots that can seamlessly fit into everyday life. Its combination of mobility, expressive design, and practical endurance makes it an excellent candidate for home use, education, retail, and customer engagement.
As more companies compete in the embodied AI space, robots like the C1 are helping shape a future where personal humanoids become a normal part of daily living.
