X Square Robot Unveils Quanta 2: A Versatile New Wheeled HouseBot

In the ever-expanding humanoid robot arms race, another major contender has just rolled onto the scene, literally.

Shenzhen-based X Square Robot (自变量机器人) has officially launched the Quanta 2, a next-generation wheeled humanoid robot designed to bridge the gap between industrial utility and customer-facing service. With its compact, foldable design and advanced articulation, Quanta 2 is engineered for real-world deployment across diverse environments including warehouses, hotels, and retail spaces.

Key Specifications:

  • Mobility: Wheeled base for fast, stable movement

  • Payload Capacity: Up to 6 kilograms

  • Degrees of Freedom: 62 total, including 20 in the hands for fine manipulation

  • Operating Range: 0–2 meters, ideal for close-quarters interaction

  • Foldable Design: Compact and portable for dynamic environments

Why It Matters:

Quanta 2 stands out for its versatility and ergonomics. While many bipedal humanoids still struggle with real-world terrain, Quanta 2's wheeled base allows for reliable indoor mobility without sacrificing dexterity. The high number of degrees of freedom—particularly in the hands—enables precise object handling, making it well-suited for logistics, concierge services, light delivery tasks, and basic interaction roles.

Its 6kg payload capacity means it can do more than just talk—it can work. Whether it’s transporting guest amenities in a hotel or loading bins in a warehouse, Quanta 2 is built for action, not just attention.

The Bigger Picture:

The launch of Quanta 2 adds to a rapidly growing wave of humanoid robots coming out of China, which is positioning itself as a global leader in intelligent robotics. X Square Robot joins a crowded but dynamic field that includes names like UBTECH, Fourier, and LimX, all competing to define the future of human-robot collaboration.

As the robotics landscape continues to evolve, platforms like HouseBots.com will be watching closely. Quanta 2 might not be the flashiest humanoid on the market, but its practicality, precision, and portability make it a compelling option for businesses looking to automate frontline tasks with real-world reliability.
