At MWC 2026, Honor presented its Augmented Human Intelligence vision and ALPHA PLAN, aiming to lead in human-centric AI. Alongside a novel Robot Phone, the company introduced its first humanoid robot, named Honor Robot.
The bipedal robot performed a dance on stage with human professionals, executing moves including a moonwalk. Honor CEO James Li confidently interacted with it, even requesting a successful somersault.
A progress video highlighted the robot's development from a clumsy prototype prone to falls. Honor stated the robot will focus on three core scenarios: shopping assistance, workplace inspections, and supportive companionship.
For companionship, the goal is to create embodied AI that recognizes individuals, understands needs, and offers personalized physical help from the first interaction. Honor enters a crowded humanoid robotics field but aims to carve a niche through innovation.
