RoboSelect360 analyst note
Polished design for public spaces and customer service. Very limited battery life (2h) — major operational constraint for continuous use. Impressive 41 DOF but priority given to expression and interaction rather than industrial tasks. Relevant for reception, retail and events in Asia — limited in Europe by after-sales support.
