Robofy separates manufacturer-confirmed facts from operator estimates. Anything not yet press-sourced or supplier-confirmed is tagged so you can decide how much weight to give it.
Specifications from media coverage of April 2026 Beijing half-marathon event (Humanoid.Press, BigGo Finance, GSMGotech, T3). Dimensions (169 cm height, 95 cm effective leg length) and torque (400 N·m) confirmed across multiple sources. Thermal system, autonomous navigation, and voice-interaction capability cited from official race coverage and Honor's MWC 2026 announcement. Battery endurance estimate based on race duration. No official Honor product page or commercial pricing located; Lightning exists only as frontier research demonstration.
