Mini Humanoid Robot that Fits in a Backpack

Introducing Agibot Q1, a compact AI-powered humanoid designed to bring personal robotics into everyday life. Your personal companion small enough to fit in a backpack. 

At just 80 cm (31 inches) tall and roughly one-eighth the weight of its full-size humanoids, the Q1 features full-body force control and crash-resistant Quasi-Direct Drive joints. Its compact design makes experimentation safer, faster, and more affordable, bridging the gap between lab prototypes and personal devices. 

Chinese humanoid robotics startup Agibot say the Q1 redefines humanoid accessibility, offering researchers, creators, and enthusiasts a capable platform for everyday interaction and innovation. 

Users can customize the robot’s appearance, program movements, and explore embodied AI without advanced robotics expertise. Out-of-the-box features include voice interaction, English tutoring, guided dance coaching, and onboard positioning, reports Mikekalil. 

Malaysians Pearly Tan-Thinaah Muralitharan ended a 3-year opening-round drought at the Malaysia Open Badminton 2026 when they brushed aside Rutaparna Panda-Swetaparna Panda of India yesterday. 

The world No. 2 won 21-11, 21-9 against the world No. 53 to ease the pressure following first-round exits in 2023, 2024, and 2025. 

Pearly-Thinaah now face Indonesia's Febriana Dwipuji Kusuma-Meilysa Trias Puspitasari in the second round. It will be a rematch of the Thailand SEA Games final, where the duo secured Malaysia's sole gold medal in Bangkok last month.
