Safety Notes

Supplier warns that the humanoid robot has complex structure and immense power output and that users must keep a sufficient safety distance. Some sample functions are still being developed and tested.

Compliance and Certificates

StandardStatusJurisdictionEvidence
CE marking Unknown European Union No public product-specific CE certificate was verified on the official product page. Request declaration of conformity before EU resale or factory deployment.
ISO 10218 requires_integrator_review International Likely not appropriate as an industrial robot for production tasks without significant validation.
ISO/TS 15066 requires_integrator_review International Do not assume collaborative safety merely because the robot is small.
