Worker C1, or 劳动者 C1, is the lightweight member of Gelanruo's Laborer humanoid family and the one the company has put to work in customer-facing settings. It stands 1.38 m and weighs 38 kg, and the company is explicit about why that matters: the light frame suits a hotel lobby, it runs quietly and smoothly, and its motion control gives it the human-like, elegant bearing that a greeting role demands. What it performs is a full set of standard etiquette, waving hello, bowing in greeting, turning to lead the way and politely saying goodbye, and it keeps walking smoothly and stably even under peak foot traffic. The 27 whole-body degrees of freedom are coordinated to about one millisecond of error, which is the figure the company uses to explain why the movement reads as composed rather than mechanical. On top of that it carries intelligent navigation and voice interaction, so it can greet guests on its own, guide them precisely to the lifts, the front desk and rest areas, answer the high-frequency questions a front desk gets about check-in, breakfast, parking and nearby facilities, and be scripted with custom hotel language and holiday greetings, with dance interaction for event warm-up. The company reports the deployments moving real numbers: a 78 per cent improvement in operational efficiency, a 60 per cent increase in venue traffic activation and a 75 per cent replacement rate for high-frequency labour. Beyond hotels it lists railway station guidance, scenic-area performance interaction and exhibition narration. One caution for anyone reading the company's own parameter table: its C1 column duplicates the M1 column exactly, including a 50 kg dual-arm payload that a 38 kg robot could not carry, so the heavy-load figures belong to M1.
