Current evidence comparison for Leju Kuavo and MenteeBot V3.

Leju Kuavo

Leju Kuavo is a family of full-size biped humanoids from Leju Robotics, with base KUAVO independently tested by CTTL at 45 kg, 26 DoF, 4.6 km/h pace, and 20cm jumps; KUAVO-MY variant is 1.4 m with >40 DoF. Leju's IPO filing reports 577 Kuavo units sold in 2025 for 178 million yuan. A public torchbearer event demonstrated 100m torch carrying and handover, but was explicitly teleoperated. Several YouTube titles suggest parcel delivery, household help, modular hands, and FAW factory work, but lack transcripts. No autonomous manipulation, runtime, battery, sensor, or hand specs were found in reviewed sources

MenteeBot V3

MenteeBot V3 has stronger source-backed evidence than the previous weak pack: official specs list a 175 cm, 70 kg, 40-DoF biped with 25 kg carry capacity and 1.5 m/s speed, and Mentee/CTech report a two-robot autonomous warehouse demo moving 32 boxes in an 18-minute unedited run. Still score conservatively: there is no named customer deployment, independent benchmark, intervention-rate data, price, or public purchase path, and Mobileye's SEC filing explicitly cautions that humanoid commercialization remains uncertain
