Industrial Applications
Editorial: Pro adds high-intensity dances and a cellular option to the6 TOPS platform. It retains high-level programming while excluding extra AI compute and EDU low-level/audio access. Shaped hands and no verified arm payload limit material handling. Named AWE handover supports company-reported delivery; household demonstrations and parental modes do not establish safe unsupervised use.
This editorial assessment concerns industrial buyer readiness. It is not an independent performance test.

Manipulation and Perception
21 active body joints=legs12,arms8,waist1. Four-axis arms use shaped hands, with no verified rated arm/gripper payload. Current980×350×200 mm. Knee module maximum70 Nm is not payload or human collision-force limit. Wholebody moving speed0.5 m/s is current maker maximum, not independent test.
6 TOPS locked RK3576; no extra compute. Developer module is separate from locked RK3576 motion computer. Ordinary-model DC_V93 camera; education guide identifies RealSense D435i except EDU-Air. IMU, microphone array/speaker;WiFi/Bluetooth,4G/5G option scope depends on edition. Compute precision/installed module revision requires exact order.
SDK and Integration
Current guide supports HighController for ordinary Bumi, while LowController and MediaController are EDU-only. Native C++/Python/CycloneDDS,500 Hz motor exchange; actual SDK/lab BSD-3-Clause. Public upper/lower scope must match edition and firmware; no ROS dependency. July15 OTA3 adds voice-action commands, superseding older FAQ denial for supported firmware. No general VLA entitlement inferred from HERON brand.
