On April 27, the Beijing Economic and Technological Development Zone unveiled the Tiangong humanoid robot, a groundbreaking innovation in the field of robotics. Standing at 1.63 meters tall and weighing 43 kilograms, Tiangong is hailed as the world’s first full-sized humanoid robot that can operate solely through electric drive. Developed by the Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Center Company, this cutting-edge robot boasts open-source code with good development and adaptability, allowing for diverse applications in household services, manufacturing, and industrial settings based on market and user needs.
Equipped with vision perception sensors, high-precision inertial measurement devices, and 6-axis force sensors, Tiangong can process an astounding 550 trillion calculations per second. At its launch ceremony, the robot demonstrated its ability to adapt to complex environments and maintain a stable running speed of 6 km/h, navigating slopes and stairs with ease. This impressive display highlights Tiangong’s advanced capabilities in robotics technology.
The Beijing Economic-Technological Development Zone, known as the center of the robot industry in Beijing, hosts over 110 robot companies. This industrial chain system comprises core components, complete machinery, and applications that enable China to become a global leader in robotics technology. The launch of Tiangong aligns with advancements in AI technology showcased at the Zhongguancun Forum 2024, further highlighting China’s optimism surrounding its integration into everyday life to provide meaningful tools for humans.
