YuanDian Robotics' Bridge Wins IFA 2026 Innovation Award as First AI-Native Humanoid

Berlin, September 4, 2026 — YuanDian Robotics appeared at IFA 2026, where its Bridge, described as the world's first high-performance AI-native humanoid robot, made its overseas debut.

The robot received a formal prize in the IFA Innovation Awards 2026, in the "Best in IFA Next & Emerging Technologies" category. The award recognizes breakthrough innovation and technologies that point to the future of consumer tech, and the win underlines Bridge's position as a global leader in consumer-grade embodied intelligence.

IFA Innovation Awards judge Sascha Pallenberg said in the award citation that Bridge's open-source ecosystem design is crucial to making robotics development more accessible worldwide, helping establish related industry standards, and enabling young developers to explore robot application innovation.

Official figures show Bridge sold more than 600 units on its first day of sales, September 2, topping JD.com's humanoid robot sales chart.

High-performance humanoid robots have long been confined to laboratories, research institutions and costly professional settings.

Bridge aims to change that: the Geek Edition launches at 8,888 yuan, roughly the price of a high-end smartphone, while offering flagship-level humanoid performance and substantially lowering the barrier to entry for developers and the mass market.

Built around a "small size, high performance" concept, Bridge uses a lightweight design in dimensions, weight and overall structure.

It retains top-tier motion capability, giving it a more compact and easily deployable form factor.
