Industrial Applications
KUAVO 5-W Max B uses the current 2200 mm-extended/245 kg wheeled platform. Its 36 total DOF includes the two six-DOF hands. Earlier filing dimensions/mass describe a different or unreconciled configuration. Factory reporting does not identify this exact edition.
This editorial assessment concerns industrial buyer readiness. It is not an independent performance test.

Manipulation and Perception
24 body/base joints: neck 2, arms 14, waist 1, folding section 3, base 4. Two 6-DOF hands bring total 36; wrist D405 cameras listed. Maximum 5 kg per arm, 790 mm arm; family 20 kg whole-body load differs.
Stereo head camera; Two D405 wrist cameras. Microphones, Mid-360, RTK, pan/tilt inspection camera and 5 G module optional; AGX Orin upper computer.
SDK and Integration
Kuavo public ROS 1/Python controller path; branch and hardware version must match.
| API type | ROS controller topics/services and Kuavo Python SDK |
|---|---|
| Languages | C++ controller source, Python SDK |
| ROS support | ROS1 package explicitly documented; this Python package excludes ROS2. Confirm delivered controller branch. |
| Simulation | MuJoCo launch examples and Docker controller simulation; robot description and ROBOT_VERSION must match. |
| Offline operation | Local controller/simulation examples exist; optional cloud speech, VLA and model services need separate dependency review. |
| Teleoperation | VR/remote-controller and data-collection workflows documented in ecosystem; edition/hardware compatibility must be confirmed. |
| Software updates | Repository/package releases; version-match controller, SDK and calibration. Firmware support period unknown. |
| Documentation | Open documentation |
| Code examples | Open repository |
| Integration constraints | Match exact robot version, mass calibration, end-effectors and controller package. Prebuilt hardware dependencies may remain. |
Safety Notes
No exact-model conformity dossier or certified collaborative operating envelope verified. Emergency-stop hardware and manufacturer demonstrations do not establish safe unrestricted shared work.
Compliance and Certificates
| Standard | Status | Jurisdiction | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| CE marking | Unknown | European Union | Distributor promises a supplied DoC; exact-model declaration not inspected. |
Commercial Readiness
| Pricing | No current exact-edition price verified; request a configuration-specific quote. Historical family average selling prices are not a unit list price. |
|---|---|
| Price range | Quote-based or unverified |
| Lead time | Needs verification |
| Availability regions | China; present quotation required, Europe: distributor-stated Leju range, exact edition subject to quote |
| Spare parts | Distributor claims European batteries/common spares; exact Leju model inventory and replenishment lead time not independently verified. |
| Warranty | No uniform manufacturer warranty duration, exclusions or cross-border repair cost established for these models. Obtain edition-specific written terms. |
| Configuration and pricing basis | Exact configuration quotation required |
| Distributors and service | Robot Distribution advertises Leju supply, European service and training; no per-edition authorisation or stock verification. |
No price, stock or lead time inferred from generic family offers.

Leju Robotics · Accessed Nov 2, 2026
All six panels visually inspected. Panel 6: biped 1730 mm/63.5 kg/41 DOF with 6-DOF hands; current 5-W 2200 mm extended/245 kg/36 DOF. Both 5 kg single-arm maximum; 20 kg whole-body load is distinct. At least 2 h and 8 h runtime claims are not exact task endurance. Panels show sensor/compute options and internal testing, not an EU conformity dossier.
