About the Noetix N2

summary from sourced evidence

Noetix N2 is a small Chinese bipedal humanoid (1.2-1.3 m, 20-30 kg, 18 DoF) from Noetix Robotics, known for continuous backflips, running, and low price. Strongest evidence is dynamic mobility demos including backflips and an abuse recovery video, plus reported pre-orders of over 2,500 units and a second-place finish in a humanoid half marathon. However, there is no evidence of manipulation, no autonomous task execution disclosure, no named customers, and specs/price are highly conflicting
