Robo-C
PromobotRobo-C is a humanoid social/service robot manufactured by Promobot (founded 2015, Perm, Russia). It features a fully customizable human-like appearance with 600+ facial microexpressions driven by mechanical muscles, mobile arms with 12 DOF each, and AI-driven conversational capabilities. The humanoid product line has been officially discontinued by Promobot, with no new applications being accepted. The robot is designed for stationary or semi-mobile service roles (visitor assistant, tour guide, building manager, home companion) and operates autonomously for its core task of human interaction and information delivery, with no evidence that a human remotely performs those tasks on its behalf.

Evidence-graded claims from the Promobot deep report
The Robo-C2 humanoid project has been formally concluded — Promobot is no longer accepting applications.
Project conclusion is explicitly stated on both the robots listing page and the humanoid project media page [1][6], and is corroborated by the absence of any active sales channel; however, no independent news report confirming the shutdown is present in the dossier.
from Promobot deep report →Promobot offered approximately $200,000 to license a person's face for use on its humanoid robot.
Two independent social/news sources [13][14] report the $200,000 face-licensing offer, providing corroboration beyond Promobot's own PR; the exact contractual terms and whether any deal was concluded remain unverified.

Promobot V.4 is fully autonomous — it navigates, converses, and performs transactional tasks without any human operator driving or controlling it.
This is vendor-stated only [2][8][9]; no independent reviews, teardowns, or user reports in the dossier confirm or contradict real-world unassisted operation, leaving the claim unverified.
from Promobot deep report →Promobot V.4 has been deployed at notable real-world venues including Dubai Mall and KAUST.
Deployments at Dubai Mall and KAUST are cited only on Promobot's own client list and case study pages [2][7]; no independent reporting, customer testimonials, or third-party verification is present in the dossier.
from Promobot deep report →Promobot V.4 can perform document scanning and auto-completion, e-queue integration, keycard issuance, payment acceptance, and photo/receipt/pass printing.
These transactional capabilities are described consistently across official product pages [2][9] but are vendor-sourced only; no independent functional testing or customer outcome data is present in the dossier.
from Promobot deep report →The Robo-C2 humanoid robot features 600+ facial expressions via mechanical muscles and a fully customizable human appearance.
The 600+ expressions figure and appearance customization are stated on Promobot's own Robo-C product page [3][4]; no independent demonstration, measurement, or third-party review substantiates the specific count or fidelity.
from Promobot deep report →Promobot received over 20,000 applications for the Robo-C2 humanoid project before it was suspended.
The 20,000+ applications figure is stated solely on Promobot's own humanoid project media page [6]; no independent journalist count, leaked data, or third-party confirmation is present in the dossier.

Promobot V.4's obstacle avoidance system ensures the robot will not hit or touch persons during movement.
This safety guarantee is stated only in Promobot's own FAQ [8]; no independent safety testing, incident records, or third-party certification is present in the dossier to substantiate the absolute claim.
