At the 2025 World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC) in Shanghai, KEENON Robotics presented its first bipedal humanoid service robot, XMAN-F1. The company organized an exhibit to demonstrate applications of embodied artificial intelligence in service-oriented settings, including a medical station, a lounge bar, and a performance area. The event, held from July 26 to 29, marked the public unveiling of this robot as part of KEENON’s broader product portfolio.
XMAN-F1 was shown performing tasks such as preparing food and beverages with user-defined preferences, delivering scripted presentations, and conducting product demonstrations. According to KEENON, the robot operates using multimodal interaction and large language model technologies, enabling autonomous task execution and movement designed to resemble human gestures.
The demonstrations included examples of coordination between different robots. In one scenario, XMAN-F1 worked with a logistics robot, M104, to simulate a healthcare service process. In another, it collaborated with robotic bartenders and a delivery robot, T10, in a beverage preparation and serving demonstration conducted in association with the whisky brand Johnnie Walker Blue Label.
KEENON referenced data from IDC indicating that the company accounts for 22.7% of global commercial service robot shipments and 40.4% of food delivery robot deployments. At WAIC 2025, KEENON outlined plans to develop multi-robot systems for varied service environments, with a focus on expanding embodied AI applications through product development and external collaborations.
