The video provides a clear view of the robot, which looks just as anticipated: a humanoid figure clad in matte black with a glass face and a light bar for eyes (the robot also appears to feature a single camera on its forehead). In an additional image (below), shared with Mashable by Honor, the robot is viewed from the side.

Honor offered some insights regarding the forthcoming robot to Bloomberg. The robot is characterized as a “service robot” proficient in assisting with shopping and various tasks.
Details remain scarce, except that the robot will be associated with Honor’s Robot Phone, which will also be showcased in Barcelona.
Mashable will cover Honor’s event in Barcelona, commencing at 7 a.m. ET on March 1, 2026, so stay tuned for more information on the company’s rapidly expanding robotics lineup.
