The 13 regions marked “Not announced” (checked 2026-09-27)
The vendor describes its household service as being across China and has named no market outside mainland China.

“Not announced” means the vendor had said nothing about that region when it was last checked, on the date shown; “Not offered” means the vendor has said no. An EU-wide offer counts for Ireland, the Netherlands and Germany unless the vendor says otherwise for one of them. Prices are recorded in the currency the vendor published and are never converted in the data.
May it legally be sold there?
This is a different question from whether the vendor offers it, and the two come apart: a vendor can hold open pre-orders for a robot that has no current path to being lawfully imported. The site records them separately and never merges them.
Unknown for every tracked region. No regulatory position has been established for this robot in any of them.
What it can do
Listed under Laundry, Dishes, Cooking and drinks, Tidying up, Fetching and carrying, Pet care, Company and conversation, Reminders and scheduling, derived from the claims below.
Capability claims in the vendor’s own words, never rewritten into categories. What matters most is the label beside each one: shipped means sold and verified working, demonstrated means shown in a controlled demo, and claimed means asserted and not shown.
- Cleans and tidies floors, wipes tables and surfaces, and returns toys and slippers to their place.

How it works
- Within a task
- Adapts within a task
The robot perceives what is actually in front of it and adjusts. If a sock slips mid-fold, it is meant to recover. This is what the AI-autonomy criterion tests.
- How a task starts
- Unknown
Descriptive only. A button, a spoken sentence and a schedule are different interfaces, not different degrees of intelligence.
- Will it try something new?
- Unknown
The vendor has not said whether the robot will attempt a task it was not validated on.
No published statement says whether the robot is restricted to a validated task list or will attempt tasks beyond it, or how a task is started (app, voice or schedule).
- Human operator
- None described
Nothing we found describes a remote human operator completing tasks for this robot. Note that the dataset records this as a plain yes or no, so “no” here means “not described”, not “established to be absent”.
Evidence: 1. 36Kr, 4. Futuring Robot
Why it qualifies
A robot is listed only if it meets all four criteria. The evidence is kept so the criteria can be re-tuned against real cases rather than re-argued. How these are applied.
-
Multi-task by design
MetPerforms two or more distinct household task types. Not a single-purpose appliance, and not one task described several ways.
Vendor and press describe at least three distinct household task types: children's education/companionship (drawing guidance, picture-book reading, English conversation practice), light housework (organising toys and slippers, floor cleaning), and pet care (litter-box cleaning, feeding, play).
Evidence: 1. 36Kr, 4. Futuring Robot
-
Physical manipulation
MetHas arms, grippers or manipulators, and can pick up, move or handle objects.
Wheeled platform with dual 7-axis arms (16th hardware iteration), explicitly built for grasping tasks such as litter cleaning, tidying and feeding.
Evidence: 1. 36Kr
-
AI-driven autonomy
MetCopes with unscripted variation within a task: it perceives what is actually there and adapts, rather than replaying a fixed motion sequence. How a task is started is not part of this test.
Vendor describes a proprietary "AVLA" architecture that splits tasks into many short "expert" sub-models coordinated by a scheduler, layered with a world-model step that predicts the success probability of a planned action before executing it. The vendor's own site describes this as having evolved into a "Self-Evolving WAM" (World Action Model): every real-home deployment feeds its predictions, actual results and failure cases back into training data. This is a named, specific technical approach with an explicit real-world-data feedback loop, not a marketing adjective.

-
Credible home path
MetTargets domestic use, and has a public price, preorder or announced release window. Pure research demos are excluded.
Real consumer-paid deployment already under way: rented to several hundred households (500 per press, 300+ per the vendor's own current site) at RMB 3,000/month, with reservations once booked to the end of the year. The current generation, Futuring 2, launched in April 2026 at a starting retail price of RMB 36,000.
