China’s First Independently-Developed General Humanoid Robot

China’s first independently-developed general humanoid robot, Tiangong, has achieved a series of technological upgrades, demonstrating new capabilities like running, climbing stairs, and conducting electrical inspections.

Embodied AI Robotics Innovation Center, Tiangong stands at 163 centimeters tall and weighing just 43 kilograms. It was unveiled last April as the world’s first full-size purely electric-driven humanoid robot and went open source in November.

The humanoid robot can walk, run, and navigate obstacles with stability. More than just a robot, Tiangong also serves as a mother platform for humanoid robots, enabling enhanced capabilities by integrating advanced components like more sophisticated mechanical arms and more intelligent head modules.
