The Elephant Robotics Mercury X1 is a 19-degree-of-freedom mobile manipulation platform combining the Mercury B1 dual-arm upper body with a high-performance wheeled mobile base. Developed by Elephant Robotics, the X1 bridges research-friendly openness with practical mobile manipulation for delivery, research, and entertainment applications.

The Mercury X1 architecture pairs two 7-DOF robotic arms mounted on a torso with a mobile base, creating a unified system capable of navigation, bimanual manipulation, and human-robot interaction. This configuration enables tasks requiring both mobility and dexterous object handling, such as fetching items, door opening, and collaborative assembly.

Elephant Robotics emphasizes software ecosystem support and developer APIs, positioning the Mercury X1 for teams requiring customizable platforms rather than turnkey solutions. The platform supports integration with ROS (Robot Operating System), machine learning frameworks, and custom perception pipelines.

The X1 serves mobile manipulation research, indoor delivery applications, service robotics development, and educational programs exploring coordinated mobility and manipulation. Its wheeled base provides efficient indoor navigation while the dual-arm configuration enables meaningful interaction with objects and environments.
