MagicBot Z1

Canonical robot record

Overview

The Magicbot Z1 is a high-dynamic bipedal humanoid robot from MagicLab, a Chinese embodied-AI company founded in 2024 and based in Wuxi. Announced in July 2025, the Z1 is built around MagicLab's in-house high-performance joint modules and pairs them with a high-strength aluminum-alloy and engineering-plastic frame refined through topology optimization for improved resistance to impact and wear.

The robot perceives its surroundings through a sensor suite that combines 3D LiDAR, a depth camera, and binocular fisheye cameras, along with a head tactile sensor, enabling autonomous mobility in complex environments. It also supports humanlike emotional interaction, responding to voice, gestures, and gentle touch such as a tap on the head.

The Z1 is offered in Standard and Development editions. The Standard edition targets enthusiasts with core motion capability, while the Development edition adds developer-oriented options such as dexterous hands, additional arm freedom, and a higher-performance computing package. The robot can also fold into a more compact form for transport and storage.
