Qiyuan T1: 5,000th home robot rolls off the line a month after launch

CONFIRMED: Qiyuan Robotics rolled its 5,000th personal robot off the production line on October 25, 2026. The milestone unit is a Qiyuan T1, delivered on site to a representative user, according to the report published by Wedoany on October 26.

The milestone comes about a month after the company launched its first two products, the Q1 and T1, on September 20. In that interval, production rose from just over 10 units per day to more than 200 per day, averaging one complete robot every 2.5 minutes, according to the company.

What the Qiyuan T1 is

The Qiyuan T1 is a transformable robot built for the home, focused on learning companionship, interactive entertainment and home assistance. The line's basic models went on sale for 19,999 yuan, about US$ 3,000, with deliveries starting October 1, according to AIPressRoom. The robots stand under one meter tall, a choice made with the home environment in mind.

To sustain the pace, Qiyuan built a manufacturing system with a three-dimensional raw-material warehouse, semi-automated assembly lines and digital traceability across processes. For quality control, the company cites a one-million-cycle wire-harness bending test, a 100,000-cycle joint durability test and module impact-resistance tests.

Later in October, the company plans a software update adding children's English oral practice, better following in complex environments, remote video calls and remote robot control. The next step, then, is not just to build more: it is to show whether these more affordable robots gain genuinely useful functions at home.
