PALO ALTO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan 7, 2026--

QwikOS officially launches today, introducing a universal mobile application that connects open-SDK humanoid robots and provides a single, consistent interface for accessing each robot’s available commands and community features. QwikOS is designed to complement manufacturer software, firmware, and control systems by providing developers with a universal way to integrate new features they create, while making it easier for everyday robot owners to discover and use them without needing robotics or software-development expertise.

Available Now on iOS and Android

QwikOS is accessible to consumers via the Apple App Store and Google Play, representing the first hardware-agnostic humanoid operating system and app ecosystem available to end users. This release delivers secure infrastructure for the global humanoid development community to deploy, test, and scale applications across varied hardware.

Industry’s First Universal Humanoid App Store

The QwikOS App Store delivers the industry’s first and largest catalog of third-party features and actions built for humanoid robots. QwikOS addresses the prior limitation of requiring developers to commit to a single proprietary platform. Capabilities developed on QwikOS can be published and deployed across any open-SDK humanoid hardware.

Universal Humanoid Hardware

QwikOS integrates with any humanoid robot hardware offering an open-source software developer kit (SDK), standardizing the user experience while underlying robot behavior remains implemented by each device’s SDK. QwikOS has completed production validation on the Unitree Robotics G1 EDU models and is the only third-party operating system supporting the Unitree G1 series. QwikOS brings compatibility to open-source humanoid hardware available now and coming soon (including Pollen Robotics, Booster Robotics, Agibot Tech, MagicLabs Robotics, EngineAI, and LimX Dynamics).

Developer Console & Monetization

QwikOS provides a centralized developer console that enables developers to submit features across multiple humanoid hardware platforms. The platform also enables developers to earn from feature development through the QwikOS App Store, including optional paid features, licensing models, and commercial distribution opportunities where supported. These mechanisms are intended to help developers maintain, improve, and support higher-quality features over time, aligned with real adoption and usage.

Integrations

QwikOS supports integrations with third-party platforms, enabling organizations and developers to extend humanoid capabilities by integrating existing technologies—such as LLMs like ChatGPT and external hardware ecosystems like Meta Quest VR headsets—while presenting these integrations to end users within a single, unified interface for streamlined configuration and control.

Learn More

A detailed whitepaper providing an overview of the platform is available on the QwikOS website. It is designed to help developers, integration partners, and corporate stakeholders understand QwikOS core technology, including how the platform enables standardized application deployment for humanoid robots and integrates with manufacturer SDKs.
