UniX AI has introduced Panther, a humanoid robot designed for deployment in private homes, and has begun global deliveries as it expands beyond commercial applications into residential use. The system can handle everyday domestic tasks, including assistance with routines, support for elderly care and companionship. This is a transition from earlier deployments in sectors such as hospitality and retail toward direct integration into home environments.
Panther is built on a wheeled dual-arm architecture, using an omnidirectional four-wheel steering and drive chassis rather than legged mobility. This configuration is intended to improve stability and efficiency in indoor settings where consistent movement and reliable operation are required.
The robot incorporates 34 high-degree-of-freedom joints, including 8-degree-of-freedom bionic arms and adaptive grippers designed for handling household objects. It can raise its upper body by 80 centimeters, enabling interaction across different heights, from floor-level tasks to standard surfaces. A 48-volt power platform supports sustained output and controlled movement during operation.
Its software stack combines three internal systems: UniFlex, which enables task generalization and imitation learning; UniTouch, which integrates visual and tactile inputs for object manipulation; and UniCortex, which supports planning and execution of multi-step activities in domestic environments.
Panther has been tested in real household scenarios and is now being delivered to customers as part of early-stage residential deployment. The launch builds on the company’s earlier Wanda 2.0 model, which has been used in commercial settings including security, hospitality and food service.
Founder and chief executive Fred Yang described the company’s approach as focused on real-world deployment and iterative development based on operational data. He said the objective is to expand the role of humanoid robots from commercial use into everyday domestic settings.
UniX AI has been producing more than 100 units per month since 2025 and is working to increase output as it scales deliveries, including for household adoption.
