SHANGHAI, Nov. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Hollywood icon Johnny Depp and the Kardashian
family recently visited China. Amid packed itineraries, these two global names turned
their attention to PrimeBOT, a Chinese personal robot. Depp treated the machine 
as a 3D canvas, painting on its body alongside local children; the Kardashians let
it sit beside them at a family luncheon, holding hands and dancing. Their genuine
curiosity and spontaneous sharing pushed this Chinese robot beyond tech circles,
turning it into a globally talked-about lifestyle story.

The Kardashian family spent time with a PrimeBOT robot

During his Shanghai visit, Depp took part in a charity art event, painting directly
on the Q1 robot—turning it into a canvas people could join. Three days later, the
same robot appeared before Tianhou Palace, mirroring a tai chi master’s movements.
It was a striking dialogue between historic architecture, living tradition, and 
embodied AI. For the Kardashians, it was a family affair. The special "new friend"
joined their luncheon, walked hand-in-hand with the children, and joined a dance-
off. Khloé Kardashian later shared these moments with her millions of followers—
an organic endorsement for a "life partner" robot.

Bowen Lyu, Global Brand Director at PrimeBOT, said: "Whether it’s Depp treating 
the robot as a canvas, or the Kardashian children clustering around it—these genuine
reactions confirm our belief. When a robot enters the home, its first identity is
not a ‘tech product’—it is a ‘life partner.’ We open up our development interfaces
to leave room for the person. A robot should not be a finished answer; it should
grow a relationship unique to its owner."

Behind these moments is a complete strategy. On September 20, PrimeBOT launched 
the Q1 and T1 robots in Shanghai, with experience stores opening in seven Chinese
cities. Rather than standard devices, the Q1 Explorer edition opens hardware/software
interfaces, an appearance-co-creation platform, and a skill store. Customers take
home a customizable platform—achieving a "thousand people, thousand robots" experience.

From Depp’s graffiti to the family table, these scenes are explorations of PrimeBOT’s
vision. Life, art, and family are languages everyone understands. PrimeBOT is stepping
outside the traditional tech playbook—not merely letting the world "see" Chinese
technology, but creating real moments people can feel. As the ecosystem grows, the
global expression of Chinese intelligent manufacturing will become more concrete,
vivid, and human.
