Qiyuan's 10,000th Personal Robot Rolls Off the Line 14 Days After the 5,000th

Shangwei New Materials' consumer robot brand doubled output in two weeks, but the company cautions the business is still a small share of revenue.

Qiyuan's 10,000th personal robot rolled off the production line on Sunday, fourteen days after the 5,000th. The two models behind the count, the Q1 and the T1, went on sale on September 20.

The pace is the point. The factory only started mass production in October, and the line now turns out a finished robot about every two and a half minutes, with daily capacity above 200 units. Qiyuan doubled its cumulative output in two weeks.

The company also shared usage figures for the robots already in homes. Co-president Liu Dongfang said more than 98% of owners use their robot each month, with the average user interacting over 100 times a day and keeping the machine online for about three hours. Those are company figures, not independently audited numbers.

The two machines are built for different jobs. The Q1 is an 88-centimetre foldable humanoid aimed at children as a companion and at developers as a platform. The T1, about a metre tall and 16 kilograms, shifts between a wheeled humanoid form and a four-legged one. Both start at RMB 19,999.

There is a limit to what the milestone proves. Parent company Shangwei New Materials said the robot business is still a small share of its revenue, disclosed no order figures, and said it cannot predict the impact on 2026 results. Ten thousand units built is not ten thousand units sold. And the count is not the one Zhiyuan, also known as AgiBot, reported in March for its general-purpose robots — Qiyuan is a separate consumer brand, and this is its own tally.
