Keenon XMAN-F1 Humanoid Robot

A restaurant, a clinic and a stage have little in common, yet people move through all three without thinking about the floor plan. The Keenon XMAN-F1 Humanoid Robot is built around that observation: instead of reshaping a venue for a machine, it walks on two legs, uses two arms and listens to spoken instructions, so it can work in spaces made for people.

Background

KEENON and the road to humanoids

KEENON Robotics is a SoftBank-backed company founded in 2010. It is known for service robots, and it argues that years of environmental data collection and electromechanical manufacturing experience give it an edge as it moves toward humanoids. The XMAN-F1 is the clearest expression of that move. It launched in July as a shift from specialized robots to general-purpose service robots, and it had its world premiere at WAIC 2025 in Shanghai, where it was presented as KEENON Robotics' bipedal humanoid service robot.

The XMAN-F1 belongs to the XMAN series of service-focused humanoid platforms. The series includes the XMAN-R1 and the XMAN-F1, and the XMAN-L1 is the latest addition. Buyers who prefer a wheeled body can look at the Keenon XMAN-R1 Wheeled Humanoid Robot, while the full range is gathered under Humanoid Robots.

Positioning and key technology

The XMAN-F1 is positioned as a general-purpose service robot rather than a single-task machine. It combines multimodal interaction with large language model technologies, which let it deliver digital presentations and product demos on its own. For perception it carries 3D vision and voice recognition, which allow it to interpret complex instructions.

Its body is just as important. The dual robotic arms have 7-degree-of-freedom joints and force-feedback sensors, which enable precise operations such as opening bottles or folding clothes. A reinforcement learning-based dynamic balance system allows the robot to navigate complex terrains and respond to unexpected collisions. Other bipedal platforms are listed under Bipedal Humanoids.

What makes the XMAN-F1 different from a delivery robot?

A delivery robot is designed for one job: carrying items along a route. It does that job very well, but it does not open a bottle or fold a towel. The XMAN-F1 takes the opposite approach. With two arms that have 7-degree-of-freedom joints and force-feedback sensors, it handles objects, and the sensors help it work with the care that delicate tasks need.

The robot has also been shown working with its stablemates. At the medical station, the XMAN-F1 partners with the M104 logistics robot to create a closed-loop smart healthcare solution. In the lounge bar, it works alongside the T10 delivery robot as a bartender. A venue that already runs the Keenon DINERBOT T10 therefore sees how a humanoid and a wheeled carrier can share the work: one handles the hands-on tasks, the other the transport.

How does the XMAN-F1 handle real surroundings?

Human spaces are untidy. Floors have thresholds, people move unpredictably and small items get left where they should not be. The XMAN-F1 addresses this with its balance system, which is based on reinforcement learning and lets it respond to unexpected collisions. In simulated home environments, it can step over obstacles up to five centimeters high while avoiding items such as pet toys.

On the interaction side, 3D vision and voice recognition let it interpret complex instructions, and the multimodal and large language model technologies let it speak to an audience. At WAIC 2025 it appeared on scheduled stages and delivered digital presentations and product demos autonomously. It was the centerpiece of three interactive setups, a medical station, a lounge bar and a performance space, built to show how a humanoid can adapt to different surroundings.

Who is the XMAN-F1 for?

The robot suits organizations that want to explore general-purpose service robotics rather than buy a single-function machine. Hospitality operators such as hotels, lounges and bars can look at its beverage and snack demonstrations. Healthcare facilities can consider its pairing with the M104 logistics robot. Exhibition organizers, retail brands and visitor centers can use it as an attraction that also presents products on its own.

Research teams and technology integrators who work on embodied intelligence will find a bipedal platform with arms and sensing already combined. If your site is better served by a wheeled body, compare the XMAN-R1. If you only need transport, a dedicated delivery robot may be the more direct choice.

What is the XMAN-F1 used for?

1. Beverage service: mixing personalized chilled drinks such as Sprite or Coke with adjustable ice levels.
2. Snack preparation: preparing popcorn in a lounge or event setting.
3. Presentations and demos: delivering digital presentations and product demos on stage, powered by multimodal interaction and large language model technologies.
4. Healthcare support: working with the M104 logistics robot at a medical station as part of a closed-loop smart healthcare solution.
5. Household-style tasks: opening bottles and folding clothes with its dual arms, and stepping over small obstacles in simulated homes.
6. Showcase and research: serving as a general-purpose humanoid platform for demonstrations in different surroundings.

Summary

The XMAN-F1 starts from a simple idea: the world is already built for people, so a service robot should be able to work there. Two legs, two capable arms, 3D vision, voice recognition and language technologies let it make drinks, present products and cooperate with other KEENON robots across a medical station, a lounge bar and a performance space. Several specifications remain unpublished and are confirmed at quotation. If this humanoid fits your venue, this page is the starting point.
