Zeroth Opens Bridge Bookings: an 88 cm Humanoid Plus OpenBridge
Zeroth started global bookings for Bridge on 2 September 2026: an 88-centimeter, about 13-kilogram humanoid aimed at developers, plus OpenBridge, an open-source stack the company wants treated like a shared workshop rather than a locked product.
The Suzhou firm, founded in 2024, is selling a first batch of the Bridge Geek Edition. ACCESS Newswire carried the launch. Interesting Engineering matched the size, two-finger grippers, and 30–40 cm arms.
What ships
ACCESS Newswire and the company site describe Bridge as a compact, desktop-friendly body with proprietary high-torque actuator modules. Out of the box the press kit lists:
- Bipedal walking and obstacle avoidance
- A library of human-like motions and choreography
- SDKs, open motion-control APIs, and motion-capture / VR hooks
Interesting Engineering quotes the YouTube description claiming dynamic locomotion, backflips, and full-body teleoperation. That is the company’s own copy, not an independent lab test.
OpenBridge is the software layer. The site splits it into a Robot Hub (hardware specs, drivers, SDKs), a Skill Hub for reusable skills, and a Simulation Hub. GitHub orgs for those hubs are linked from zeroth-openbridge.com.
Price, with a hedge
The official shop lists founding access at CNY 5,999. ACCESS Newswire says Bridge is available for global booking from 2 September through that site, and that price may vary by region. I am not treating any third-party dollar conversion as a published MSRP.
Zeroth is also running a Bridge Builder program. First phase: 500 developers shortlisted. 200 get complimentary access to Bridge and OpenBridge co-creation. The other 300 get priority Geek Edition purchase, SDK access, and a later shot at the program.
“The world has no shortage of walls. We choose to build bridges,” said Renjie Guo, founder and CEO, in the ACCESS Newswire release.
A Human’s Take
An 88 cm, 13 kg biped you can actually book is the right shape for a developer kit. I care less about the “Android of robots” line than whether Robot Hub and Skill Hub stay public once the first Geek units leave Suzhou. CNY 5,999 founding access is cheap enough to try; the regional-price hedge on the press wire is the part I’ll watch when a cart total appears.
