Experts predict that the invention will be integrated into the National Innovation Center’s open-source ecosystem, opening the door for more extensive industrial uses and developments in humanoid robotics.
Furthering humanoid robotics
Tiangong is another humanoid robot developed by the state-backed Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Center, designed for advanced mobility and control.
It maintains a steady speed of 3.7 miles per hour (6 kilometers per hour) and integrates visual perception sensors, 3D vision sensors, and high-precision IMU to handle motion control challenges efficiently. The robot was unveiled in May 2024 at the Beijing Economic-Technological Development Area, a key hub for China’s robotics industry.
