BEIJING, Jan. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- At CES 2026, ROBOTERA showcases its flagship robotics lineup, including the L7 full-size humanoid robot, the Q5 wheeled humanoid robot, and the XHAND1 dexterous hand. Together, these products embody the "Hexa-Core" concept, highlighting strength, agility, precision, stability, durability, and adaptability across multiple application scenarios.
L7: Full-Size Humanoid with Strength, Dexterity, and Multi-Robot Collaboration
The L7 is the first full-size bipedal humanoid robot in China to combine large-scale dynamic motion with fine manipulation. At CES 2026, L7 demonstrates ultra-low-latency full-body teleoperation, showcasing how its human-scale structure enables precise manipulation while maintaining exceptional stability during complex movements.
Standing 171 cm tall and weighing 70 kg, L7 features human-like proportions, 55 degrees of freedom, and can carry up to 20 kg with both arms, delivering agile, powerful, and well-balanced motion. It supports full bipedal and upper-body configurations, adapting to different deployment scenarios and reducing on-site integration costs.
Q5: High-DOF Humanoid for Natural Motion Replication
Positioned to redefine service robots, the Q5 wheeled humanoid platform features 44 DoF across the body, enabling accurate replication of human motion. During on-site demonstrations, Q5 interacts naturally with visitors, delivers gifts, and performs actions such as squatting to pick up objects with smooth, coordinated movements. Its slim and refined design makes it suitable not only for research purposes, but also for highly interactive commercial service environments.
XHAND1: Fully Direct-Drive Dexterous Hand with Professional Precision
XHAND1 is a fully direct-drive, five-fingered dexterous hand with 12 active degrees of freedom. It offers a maximum single-hand grip force of 80 N and can lift objects weighing up to 25 kg. With fast response and precise control, XHAND1 demonstrates professional-level manipulation, including fine force and angle control during on-site interactive demonstrations.
XHAND1 is already adopted by leading robotics companies such as Skild AI, Humanoid AI, and Extend Robotics, as well as top universities and research institutions including UC Berkeley, MIT, and ByteDance Seed.
Hardware Portfolio Highlights
From L7's powerful and dexterous full-body performance, to Q5's ultra-human-like presence, and XHAND1's high-precision manipulation, ROBOTERA's hardware portfolio demonstrates strong capabilities in mechanical performance, stability, flexibility, and multi-scenario deployment.
To date, ROBOTERA has cumulatively delivered over 600 units, with its products deployed across global exhibition, retail, and logistics environments, underscoring the reliability and real-world value of its hardware platforms.

TAMPA, Fla., Jan. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The Literacy Research Association (LRA) announces its 76th Annual Conference, scheduled to take place from December 2 to 5, 2026, in Honolulu, Hawaiʻi. This significant event will explore the theme, "Manifesting Quantum Imaginaries: Re-searching Literacies as a Transcontextual Enterprise," inviting scholars and practitioners to delve into innovative perspectives on literacy research. "As we convene for our 76th Annual Conference in Honolulu, Hawaiʻi, the Literacy Research Association is poised to present a truly groundbreaking event. This milestone conference, following closely on the heels of our 75th anniversary, is designed to profoundly expand our understandings of literacies in motion, reinforcing LRA's commitment to disseminating cutting-edge research and underscoring the vital global reach of our mission," said Patriann Smith, LRA 2026 Conference Chair and President-Elect. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95UsflcR3jU
Individuals interested in contributing to this discourse or who wish to attend the conference are encouraged to visit the official LRA website for comprehensive details regarding proposal submissions, registration, and event logistics. Additional information is available at https://literacyresearchassociation.org/current-conference-2026/.
Adopt a Quantum Lens
The theme chosen for the conference invites a metaphorical re-examination of literacies through a quantum lens, moving beyond traditional, linear models of space and time. This approach considers literacies as dynamic bundles of potential, holding multiple meanings simultaneously, much like the smallest units of reality in quantum science as described by the National Institute of Standards and Technology. In turn, this perspective suggests that a single literacy event can generate limitless possibilities depending on its context and trajectory, emphasizing the "when" and "where" of literacies as equally important as the "what."
Explore Literacies in Motion
The LRA 2026 conference will metaphorically use a quantum lens to explore the concept of "literacies in motion," observing how students traverse new contexts and borders, whether they are physically moving, engaging in classrooms, or navigating online and offline worlds. This dynamic interaction creates a complex transcontextual architecture of literacies, shaping how individuals communicate, establish belonging, and navigate their worlds. Considering literacies in motion also aligns with long-standing Indigenous, African, Asian, and diasporic philosophies that underscore the interconnectedness of human experiences and their literacies, reflecting a non-linear understanding of time. The year 2025, recognized as the "Year of Quantum" by UNESCO, provides a timely backdrop for this exploration.
"Attendees of the LRA 2026 conference will discover innovative approaches to cultivate new ways of supporting students and teachers in K-12 classrooms, fostering active literacies in motion that transcend traditional boundaries. Through the metaphorical adoption of a quantum lens, we will explore how even the smallest literacy events hold multiple meanings and create limitless possibilities, equipping educators and researchers with a dynamic framework to navigate the complexities of modern literacy instruction," commented Rahat Zaidi, LRA 2026 Associate Conference Chair and Vice-President.

This conference seeks to cultivate contemporary ways of supporting students and teachers in K-12 classrooms, preparing them to create new models of engagement in an era marked by artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum computing. Researchers are invited to submit proposals that investigate these expansive and metaphorical understandings of literacies as quantum phenomena. Potential areas of inquiry include:
- How literacies remain active in the lives of students who move and those who do not;
- The dynamics of literacies across students' online and offline environments;
- Strategies teachers employ to support literacies in motion while meeting educational outcomes;
- Student engagement with literacies as they shape their personal trajectories;
- Methods for researchers to consider both space and time when studying minute instances of student literacies;
- The reflection of multiple possibilities within the smallest instantiations of literacies in motion across diverse contexts;
- Reasons for embracing certain possibilities created by literacies in motion while devaluing others.
By challenging rigid characterizations of human movement and literacies, the LRA 2026 conference aims to liberate literacies as a living, transcontextual endeavor, fostering a collective re-evaluation of truths embedded in literacies in motion and empowering students and teachers to honor responsibility (kuleana) and privilege. "The LRA 2026 conference theme, 'Manifesting Quantum Imaginaries,' represents a critical call to action for the literacy research community, especially as we advance beyond 2025, which marks '100 Years of Quantum'," states Patriann Smith. "Moving beyond static, linear models of thought to embrace a more expansive understanding of literacies as transcontextual, this conference aims to inspire researchers to not only observe but also actively shape how literacies heal, redeem, reconnect, and protect (mālama) -- radically reshaping the shared nows of all."
