X Square Robot’s Quanta X1 Pro Wins CES 2027 Innovation Honor

November 11, 2026, 12:24By the AI News Bites Editorial TeamSource: PR Newswire

X Square Robot’s Quanta X1 Pro, a general-purpose wheeled dual-arm robot, has been named a CES Innovation Awards 2027 Honoree. The recognition highlights the company’s efforts to bring embodied AI into homes, logistics and industrial environments.

Key points
  • Quanta X1 Pro has been named a CES Innovation Awards 2027 Honoree.
  • The wheeled dual-arm robot supports a 0 to 1.6-meter vertical workspace.
  • Natural-language instructions can be used for multi-step household tasks.
  • WALL-B connects visual perception, language understanding and physical action.
  • X Square Robot will demonstrate the robot at CES 2027 in Las Vegas.

A mobile robot for everyday environments

According to X Square Robot, Quanta X1 Pro is designed to work in existing spaces without requiring modifications to them. The robot combines mobility with coordinated dual-arm manipulation and has a 0 to 1.6-meter vertical workspace, allowing it to reach from floor level to shelves.

Users can give the robot natural-language instructions for multi-step tasks. The company lists folding laundry, picking up objects, making beds and tidying tabletops among the tasks Quanta X1 Pro can perform. Its design addresses a central challenge in household robotics: homes differ widely in layout, objects and daily routines, so robots must adapt to unfamiliar conditions rather than repeat predefined movements.

From demonstrations to real-world deployments

X Square Robot said it is working to move embodied AI beyond laboratory demonstrations and into practical applications. In China, the company is collaborating with a home services platform to offer bookable robot-assisted household cleaning services.

The company has also deployed Quanta-series robots in residential environments for extended periods, including month-long stays. These deployments are intended to explore how general-purpose robots can assist with everyday household tasks under real-world conditions.

Quanta X1 Pro’s manipulation capabilities are powered by WALL-B, X Square Robot’s self-developed embodied AI foundation model. The company says WALL-B connects visual perception, language understanding and physical action, enabling robots to interpret instructions, interact with different objects and execute complex manipulation tasks beyond fixed, task-specific programming.

Applications beyond the home

X Square Robot is also applying its embodied AI technology to logistics and industrial environments. In parcel handling and sorting, its model-driven robotic systems can identify, grasp, reorient and transfer packages of different shapes and sizes.

The company presents these applications as evidence that embodied AI can support a broader range of physical tasks across different environments. That approach extends the role of general-purpose robots beyond household assistance to work involving varied objects and changing operating conditions.

Quanta X1 Pro heads to CES 2027

The CES Innovation Awards, owned and produced by the Consumer Technology Association, recognize design and engineering in consumer technology. The 2027 program received nearly 4,000 submissions across 37 technology product categories, which were evaluated by an independent panel including engineers, designers and members of the media.

X Square Robot will showcase Quanta X1 Pro and its latest embodied AI demonstrations at CES 2027, taking place January 6 to 9 in Las Vegas. At the Las Vegas Convention Center, South Hall 3, Booth 40017, demonstrations will focus on flexible object handling, precision manipulation and model-driven robotic capabilities.

For users and potential commercial customers, the announcement points to a strategy built around deploying robots in homes, logistics operations and industrial settings. The company’s residential trials and cleaning-service collaboration provide the clearest examples in the announcement of how it plans to test general-purpose robots outside controlled demonstrations.
