RobotEra M7 Upper Body Wheeled Humanoid Robot

Description

RobotEra M7: The Next Generation Upper-Body Humanoid Platform
In the rapidly advancing field of humanoid robotics, the RobotEra M7 emerges as a specialized upper-body solution focused on manipulation, perception, and embodied AI experiments. As a fixed (non-walking) torso robot, M7 is optimized for tasks such as teleoperation, dexterous manipulation, and human-robot interaction in controlled environments.
Key Features & Design
Dexterous Manipulation & Arms
M7 is equipped with high-DOF robotic arms and hands (compatible with RobotEra’s XHAND series) enabling precise grasping, object handling, and complex tool operation.
Sensor Suite & Perception
The robot integrates cameras, LiDAR, force/torque sensors, tactile feedback, and depth sensors to perceive its environment, sense contact, and react dynamically.
Expressive Motion & Communication
Even without locomotion, M7 can tilt, rotate its torso, gesture with arms, and simulate upper-body humanlike movement to engage users and convey intent.
Embodied AI & Teleoperation Integration
M7 is designed to work within RobotEra’s embodied intelligence framework—connecting real-time teleoperation, simulation, learning, and control. Developers can collect data through teleoperation, refine AI policies, and deploy them.
Modular & Upgradable Architecture
Its modular hardware and software design allow easy upgrades of actuators, sensors, hands, and computing modules to stay on the cutting edge.
Applications & Use Case
The M7 upper‐body platform is ideal for:
Research & Developmentin robotics labs and universities
Telepresence & Remote Operation, such as remote inspection or collaborative tele-robotic control
Human-Robot Interaction Studies — conducting experiments in social robotics, gesture understanding, or assistive interfaces
Assistive Robotics & Service Labs — mounted on mobile bases for docking, or integrated with fixed stands
AI Training & Embodied Learning — collecting real motion and interaction data for AI model training
Why M7 Stands Out
What sets M7 apart is its specialized focus: by removing leg and locomotion complexity, it concentrates precision, speed, and sensing on the upper body. This reduces mechanical complications and cost, making it ideal for iterative research and prototyping. Coupled with RobotEra’s software stack and embodied intelligence tools, M7 is a powerful lab-grade platform for pushing forward humanoid research.
The ROBOTERA M7 is the upper body torso version of the L7, featuring stereo vision, teleoperation methods including Meta Quest, and upgrade options for zero-sample transfer. It supports intelligent sorting, scanning, assembly, and is equipped with a 7-DoF humanoid robotic arm, cross-axis wrist, 360° field of view, binocular vision and 3D LiDAR, and a 12-DoF dexterous hand. Applications include scientific research, manufacturing, and logistics. Height: 1.19 m; Weight: 43 kg; Total DoF (with Hands): 43; Arm length: 0.95 m; Total DoF (without Hands): 19; Operation Space Diameter: 2.1 m; Teleoperation Vision: Stereo Vision; Longest Wingspan: 2.1 m; Teleoperation Methods: Meta Quest.
