Mercury X1 is a wheeled humanoid from Elephant Robotics in China, standing about 1.18 m tall and weighing around 55 kg. Combining a mobile base with dexterous arms, this humanoid robot offers an accessible, open platform for autonomous navigation and manipulation.
Harmonic drive modules with electromagnetic friction-plate brakes give it high precision, low vibration and smooth coordination across 17 degrees of freedom. Sensing includes an Orbbec Deeyea 3D camera, a four-mic linear array with 5 m range and 180-degree pickup, and integrated joint-position and force-feedback sensors, and its battery lasts roughly 480 minutes. Its open software offers Python (pymycobot) and C++ APIs plus ROS, MoveIt, Gazebo and Mujoco support, all managed through the myPanel OS.
That openness and endurance make it well suited to robotics research, education and interactive entertainment, where long runtime and standard tooling accelerate development. Its wheeled base and dual arms let teams explore mobile manipulation end to end, from navigation to grasping, on one integrated body.
Nexon System deploys the Elephant Robotics Mercury X1 across Southeast Asia, providing commissioning, navigation and task programming, and integration with your ROS-based research tools and data systems. We add training and dependable support so your platform stays productive. Talk to Nexon to set up a mobile-manipulation platform.
