Navigator 2

Canonical robot record

Overview

Navigator 2, branded NAVIAI-i2, is a general-purpose humanoid robot from the Zhejiang Humanoid Robot Innovation Center, a Chinese embodied-intelligence company founded around the research team of Professor Xiong Rong. It is the second generation in the maker's Navigator (领航者) line, following Navigator 1, and was presented in 2024.

The robot combines full-body anthropomorphic walking with a precision manipulation arm, and the maker positions it as China's first humanoid robot able to operate tools at sub-millimetre working accuracy. It uses multimodal perception to interact naturally with people and to navigate and operate in dynamic environments.

Navigator 2 is targeted at practical deployments such as industrial assembly, guidance and reception, and retail, reflecting the center's stated goal of moving general-purpose humanoids toward real-world productivity.
