Future

Best-fit demand signals
Mountain rescue resupply: transport food, medical kits, equipment on steep slopes where vehicles cannot reach
Factory internal logistics: moving full pallets across workshops without redesigning floor layout
Border patrol and outdoor security: autonomous cargo mule for extended operations in rough terrain
Physical Presence

How it stands in your space.

Side-by-side with a 180 cm adult, so you can feel the robot's footprint, height, and presence before it ever rolls in.

Robofy verdict

Too early to call — no pricing, delivery date, or third-party deployment data yet. Terrain mobility and 1-ton payload are compelling for outdoor logistics, but wait for pilot results and cost-per-ton-mile economics before committing.

Best for

When to deploy this.

  • Mountain rescue resupply: transport food, medical kits, equipment on steep slopes where vehicles cannot reach
  • Factory internal logistics: moving full pallets across workshops without redesigning floor layout
  • Border patrol and outdoor security: autonomous cargo mule for extended operations in rough terrain
Limitations

When to skip it.

  • No pricing or timeline: company has announced intent but not market availability, MSRP, or delivery commitments
  • Payload efficiency unclear: 1-ton load on 300 kg chassis is impressive, but no data on energy cost per ton-km or comparison to wheeled alternatives
  • Actuation complexity: planetary roller screw joints are novel but unproven in field; maintenance ecosystem does not yet exist
Data Sources

What's verified, what's estimated.

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.

Trust41

Mechanical Qilin specifications (dimensions, weight, payload, intended applications) from Gasgoo press coverage of June 2026 launch at Zhangjiang Embodied AI conference. Battery life and motor technology from Mugglehead Investment Magazine reporting. Actuator heritage (planetary roller screws developed for K2 humanoid) confirmed in multiple press sources. No official manufacturer datasheet, pricing, or production roadmap located; no third-party field deployment data available. Brand homepage and product-specific pages accessed June 2026 confirm gotokepler.com as official domain but no dedicated Qilin product page yet live.

How It Works

From rollout to recharge.

  1. 01

    Map the environment

    An installer drives or guides the robot through every aisle, table cluster, and pickup zone to build a high-resolution map.

  2. 02

    Assign routes & service logic

    Operators define pickup points, drop-off tables, queue priorities, and voice prompts in the fleet console.

  3. 03

    Autonomous navigation

    During service, the robot picks the safest path, avoids guests and obstacles in real time, and announces arrivals.

  4. 04

    Return to dock

    Idle robots auto-return to the charging dock, sync trip logs, and surface throughput metrics for the manager.
