PrimeBOT brought two very different machines to a small showcase in Berlin, and the contrast was the point.
The Q1 is a humanoid small enough to carry under one arm, while the T1 changes shape between a compact humanoid and a rolling robot dog.
The company's tagline is not about efficiency at work.
It is "Your First Personal Robot," and after seeing both units up close, that framing shapes everything about how they are built.
PrimeBOT Q1: A Humanoid Built for the Living Room
The Q1 stands 88cm tall and is described as ultra-miniaturized.
It is light enough to be carried under one arm and small enough to be tucked into a backpack.
PrimeBOT says the size makes the robot less aggressive and more acceptable to a whole family.
The finish is what the company calls "consumer CMF," so it reads as a consumer gadget rather than lab equipment.
The Q1 is pitched as the world's first consumer-grade personal humanoid robot. That "consumer-grade" label places it on a desk, in a living room, or on the move.
The team also calls it a "portable research tool for embodied intelligence." In practice, that means makers and developers can tinker with it directly.
In the demo, the Q1 stood in a relaxed pose with slightly bent arms, wearing what looked like tiny sneakers.
The design is intentionally approachable, with smooth lines and human-like proportions that avoid feeling unsettling.
A hidden cooling system and a patented metal frame keep it from feeling fragile.
It comes in white and a darker variant, and it looks closer to a high-end collectible figure than a piece of lab hardware.
Interaction is where the Q1 makes its case.
You can hold its hand like a child's hand and walk with it, with stable steps and an adjustable pace.
It speaks about nine languages and can answer basic questions such as the weather through its speaker.
The brand says its AI can also help children with life questions.
