Summary
Beijing visitors at the 2026 World Robot Conference were able to ride DaxAI’s quadrupedal “Cyber Horse,” turning the startup’s concept into a public demo rather than a display-only prototype.
The Qiji X1 All-Terrain Intelligent Mount is billed as near production, with a 660-pound maximum payload, 6 mph top speed and roughly 25 miles of range.
China Daily said the robot can autonomously handle steep slopes, gravel and mud, and DaxAI is pitching it for off-road leisure, heavy-load transport and emergency rescue work.
Video from the event showed jerky movement but stable operation with an adult rider on the showroom floor; when it will go on sale and how it performs on real rough terrain remain unclear.
The debut puts DaxAI ahead of similar robot-horse concepts that have largely stayed in promotional footage, highlighting how quadruped robotics is moving toward rideable commercial machines.
