Qiyuan Robotics (启元机器人) began shipping Q1 and T1 personal robots at launch, with both base models priced RMB 19,999.

Qiyuan Robotics (启元机器人), the consumer embodied-intelligence brand under Swancor Advanced Materials (上纬新材), launched its Q1 and T1 personal robots in Shanghai (上海) on September 20. The event also presented the brand’s technology, product, and ecosystem strategies.

Both products were reported as shipping when sales began, rather than being announced solely for future delivery. The Q1 and T1 each cost RMB 19,999, while the Q1 Tansuo Edition (探索版) costs RMB 26,999 and the T1 Pro costs RMB 29,999.

Chief executive Tian Hua (田华), identified as CEO of both the parent company and Qiyuan Robotics, said a robot rolled off the production line every 2.5 minutes. He also said each robot’s assembly data would remain traceable throughout its lifetime and described the manufacturing approach as following automotive standards.

The production cadence is a management-reported operating claim, not a disclosed total shipment count or annual production capacity. The supplied coverage contains no customer-order totals, independently verified safety results, detailed hardware specifications, or revenue figures.
