UBTECH Yanshee
A real jointed humanoid for classrooms and labs, with Python, Scratch and ROS underneath.
Yanshee is for education and research teams that need more than a toy but less than a full commercial humanoid: 17 servos, an 8 MP camera, Raspberry Pi compute and open access for Python, Scratch, Linux and ROS-based work.
- 17 servos
Neck, arms, legs
- 37 cm, 2.1 kg
Desk-sized humanoid
- Raspberry Pi 3B
1 GB RAM, 16 GB eMMC
- 8 MP camera
Up to 30 fps
- Python and Scratch
Linux, ROS concepts, GPIO
- 9-axis IMU
Plus ultrasonic, IR, climate
- About 3 hours
3000 mAh battery
- STM32 co-processor
Real-time joint control
What it does
- Humanoid motion
17 DOF for head, arms and legs: walks, poses, dances and runs repeatable motion sequences for teaching kinematics and behaviour design.
- Vision and interaction
8 MP camera, microphones, speakers, IMU and environmental sensors for vision tasks and human-robot interaction exercises.
- Open coding workflow
Raspberry Pi 3B, Python and Scratch, ROS concepts, Linux tooling and GPIO for hardware extension.
- K-12 STEM programs
Coding classes, sensor experiments, introductory AI and robotics clubs where code gets a visible physical response.
- Universities and research labs
A compact open humanoid for computer vision, interaction design and coursework before moving to larger hardware.
- Competitions and public demos
Expressive motion and interactive behaviour for competitions, exhibitions and outreach.
- Maker and training labs
GPIO, Linux access and a platform that extends for custom lessons and control experiments.

Published specification
Who buys it?
Schools, universities, maker labs, coding workshops and research teams wanting a compact humanoid for teaching and early embodied-AI work.
Python and Scratch?
Yes, both, which is why it suits entry-level teaching and more technical secondary development.
Advanced research?
It's a teaching and prototyping platform. Larger projects move to hardware like the Unitree G1.
Where does it sit in a program?
After uKit, alongside or after UGOT, before a full research humanoid.
