UBTECH Walker C Commercial Reception Humanoid Robot

Most robots earn attention for a minute and then fade into the lobby furniture. The UBTECH Walker C Commercial Reception Humanoid Robot is built for the minute after that, when a visitor asks where to go, what a display means or who to talk to. It stands at human height, walks toward people and answers in more than one language, so the welcome does not depend on someone being free at the front desk.

The product is available through this page, by quotation.

Background

UBTECH and the Walker lineage

UBTECH is a humanoid robotics company, and the Walker name is the one it uses for full size, walking machines. Walker C is the member of that line aimed at commercial settings: exhibition halls and office buildings, where the job is to receive people, guide them and talk with them. It is a full size, electric-driven embodied intelligent humanoid robot, which tells you two things at once. It is a biped meant to move among people, and it is driven by electric actuation rather than by a fixed, screen-only design.

Its most public reference is a demanding one. Walker C is the first embodied AI tour guide of the China Pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan, where it provides intelligent guided tour services at the South Plaza of the pavilion. A crowded international event is a hard test for any reception system, and it shows what the platform is intended to do.

Positioning and key technology

The intelligence behind Walker C is UBTECH's self-developed Embodied Interactive Large Model, which supports multilingual interactions. That matters in a region such as the Caribbean, where hotels, convention spaces and attractions routinely host guests from many countries. The robot offers proactive greeting and reception, and customized database Q&A support lets an operator shape what the robot can answer about a venue.

For movement, Walker C is equipped with the U-SLAM Navigation System, which enables it to position tour routes autonomously. AI-powered obstacle detection gives it perceptive adaptation to a dynamic business environment, which is a polite way of saying that people will walk into its path and it is designed to cope. It maintains a steady running pace of 6 km/h and does all-terrain speedy walking.

What makes Walker C different from a reception kiosk or a screen?

A kiosk waits. A visitor must find it, approach it and learn how to use it. Walker C reverses that order. It offers proactive greeting, so the first move comes from the robot, and it can then lead the visitor along a route rather than pointing at a map. The U-SLAM Navigation System lets it position tour routes on its own, and the obstacle detection lets it adapt when the lobby fills up.

There is also the matter of presence. At 163cm and 43kg, the robot stands at roughly adult height. People talk to it the way they talk to a person at a desk, and that makes the multilingual interaction feel natural rather than technical. The 20 degrees of freedom support that physical expressiveness, and the arms, with a wingspan of 500mm, add gestures to the conversation.

How long can Walker C work between charges?

Working hours are given by activity: 2h of walking, 4h of standing and 1.5h of charging, powered by a Lithium Battery 48V 15Ah. In practice this suits a venue that mixes walking tours with stationary greeting. A robot that stands at a doorway uses its battery more slowly than one that leads groups across a hall, so the daily plan should separate the two roles and leave time for charging. We can go through your schedule with you when preparing a quotation.

For integration, Walker C offers a Joint Control Interface and a Communication Interface as open interfaces, and it connects by WiFi and Bluetooth. Teams with their own software requirements can build their plans around these two interfaces.

Who is the UBTECH Walker C for?

The natural buyers are venues where visitors arrive in volume and ask the same questions again and again: exhibition halls, corporate offices, conference centers, museums and showrooms. Hospitality and tourism operators in the Caribbean, who serve guests from many countries, will see the value of multilingual interaction. Organizations that want a visible, memorable greeter for a launch or an anniversary event are another fit.

If your space is better served by a wheeled platform, consider the UBTECH Cruzr 1S Intelligent Commercial Service Wheeled Humanoid Robot. If you are comparing humanoid service models, the UBTECH Walker C1 Humanoid Service Robot is also worth a look. Tell us about your venue and we will help you decide which one suits it.

Summary

A lobby robot is only useful if it does something once people stop to look. Walker C is designed for that moment: it greets first, speaks several languages, leads visitors along routes it plans itself and answers from a database you control. Its figures, from 163cm in height to 4h of standing time, describe a machine for real venues, and its Expo 2025 Osaka role shows it in public service. If your visitors deserve a more welcoming front door, this page is the starting point.
