AiQ (爱湫)

EIR AiQ, also known as Aiqiu or 爱湫, is an emotionally interactive humanoid designed for natural communication and role-based service. EIR formally launched the redesigned generation at the 2026 World Robot Conference in interactive and motion-control editions. The interactive edition targets finance, education, tourism, exhibitions and commercial service, while the motion-control edition is intended for universities, research institutions, algorithm teams and developers. Approximately 40 percent of its structural components use magnesium alloy, and its smaller low-power head, arms and legs use modular interfaces for easier assembly and maintenance. The ELA Harness architecture coordinates speech, vision, spatial perception, identity, memory, knowledge, navigation and movement through an agent framework. AiQ uses a three-dimensional short-throw projected digital face that can change expressions and visual identity for different roles. Sales began in August 2026 at CNY 98,000.
