AutoNavi Launches "Tutu" - China's First Fully Autonomous Quadruped Robot for Smart Guide Dogs

On April 19, 2026, at the Beijing Yizhuang Humanoid Robot Half Marathon, AutoNavi (Gaode) unveiled its first embodied robot product "Tutu" - a quadruped robot capable of fully autonomous operation in open environments without relying on preset routes or manual remote control. The product demonstrated its ability to serve as an intelligent guide dog for visually impaired individuals. Behind Tutu is AutoNavi's self-developed ABot full-stack embodied technology system, including the Abot-World world model, Abot-N0 navigation model, and Abot-claw intelligent agent with reflection and error correction capabilities. China has over 17 million visually impaired people, while traditional guide dogs number only about 400. The launch of Tutu marks embodied intelligence beginning to solve specific public welfare needs.
