DaxAI Robotics Unveils Rideable Robot Horses at Beijing Robotics Conference
DaxAI Robotics presented its line of four-legged robot horses, controllable as if riding, at the 2026 World Robot Conference in Beijing. Models like the Qiji X1 and Qiji XS are designed for operation in complex terrains.
Chinese firm DaxAI Robotics showcased its new four-legged robot horses at the 2026 World Robot Conference in Beijing. The company displayed the Qiji X1, which integrates a four-legged robot platform with rider controls, enabling users to operate the robot as if they were riding a horse.
The Qiji X1 weighs 300 kg and can reach speeds of 7-10 km/h. It offers a range of 40 km on a single charge with an 8-10 hour battery life. The robot accurately replicates a horse's gait, featuring a maximum joint torque of 1400 Nm and a dynamic load capacity of 300 kg.
Also featured was the more advanced Qiji XS, a hybrid robot combining wheels and legs. Weighing 320 kg, this model can achieve speeds exceeding 40 km/h and has a 60 km range. It intelligently switches between high-speed cruising on flat surfaces using its wheels and off-road traversal using its legs in complex terrain.
Both Qiji series robots include practical features such as fast charging and ride data monitoring. They support OTA (Over-The-Air) updates, allowing for continuous performance evolution and optimized riding solutions via cloud services. DaxAI aims to develop robots capable of operating in environments inaccessible to traditional wheeled vehicles.
