Industrial Applications
Editorial: wheeled, lifting dual-arm platform for supervised service, teleoperation and navigation research. Current 44-joint table and Python ROS 2 SDK support technical integration; combined 10 kg maximum load, unknown exact endurance and unverified scene acceptance limit production claims. CES/mall demos are not unattended factory fleet evidence.
This editorial assessment concerns industrial buyer readiness. It is not an independent performance test.

Manipulation and Perception
Core 10 kg is MAXIMUM COMBINED DUAL-ARM load, not 10 kg each arm. Separate 10 kg XHAND1 Lite hand component claim is not an arm load rating. 44 full joints=head 2, arms 14, hands 22, waist 1, lifting leg 3, chassis 2.1380 mm armspan; 0–2 m reach envelope includes lift, not 2 m arm reach.
Maker 3 D LiDAR fused with depth/stereo vision, screen, microphones and speech/navigation applications. Small chassis 582×519×225 mm; standing overall 582×519×1650 mm. Seven-joint arms and 11-joint hands per side support service interaction and teleoperation; exact compute board, mapping build and speech/cloud providers unverified.
SDK and Integration
Python joint/trajectory, MPC, hand and mobile-base control; VR /glove teleoperation. Manufacturer SDK explicitly supports Q5, ROS2 Humble/ CycloneDDS and supplied developer environment. Maker promotes data/teleop-to-training-to-simulation workflow; no exact public Q5 physics simulator or validated sim-to-real package inspected. Public repository rights are separate from firmware, model weights, commercial software and data. Match exact hardware, messages and supported firmware; not an independent safety controller.

Safety Notes
No exact signed EU conformity dossier, independent stopping/fall envelope, safety-integrity rating or validated human-collaboration mode inspected. High joint torque, speed or hand load are not safe collaboration evidence. Follow delivered manual, physical test protection and system-level integration assessment; public ROS services are not a certified stop system.
Compliance and Certificates
| Standard | Status | Jurisdiction | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| CE marking | Unknown | European Union | No exact-model signed declaration and complete delivered configuration dossier inspected. For L7 / M7 / Q5, European seller promises a declaration; promise is not independent verification. |
Commercial Readiness

| Lead time | Needs verification |
| Availability regions | China manufacturer inquiry, Europe: Robot Distribution lists on order, purchase/rental/ RaaS |
| Spare parts | No independently inspected local inventory or repair response SLA. |
| Warranty | Exact whole-robot, battery, hand and regional warranty period/exclusions unverified. Public software/component licences are not hardware warranties. |
| Configuration and pricing basis | Seller advertised starting purchase price; ex VAT; exact quote required |
| Distributors and service | Robot Distribution seller claims European stock, parts/repair/training and supplied EU declaration. Actual OEM appointment, signed declaration, stock and service SLA not inspected. |

Official Q5 Chinese/English brochure ↗
ROBOTERA · Accessed Nov 2, 2026
Both Chinese and English manufacturer PDFs were opened; numerals with broken font extraction were read visually. Q5 confirms 44 joints, 70 kg, standing 582×519×1650 mm, 10 kg MAXIMUM dual-arm load, 0–2 m reach and OVER 4 h full-load runtime. This does not mean 10 kg per arm or exact 240 min. Download-centre timestamp May 1, 2025 is earlier than documented L7 launch and is not treated as the model release or independently verified PDF revision date.
