The world’s first full-sized humanoid robot, Tiangong, was unveiled at the Beijing Economic and Technological Development Zone on April 27. Developed by the Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Center Company, this groundbreaking robot stands at 1.63 meters tall and weighs 43 kilograms.
Equipped with advanced sensors and a powerful force sensor system, Tiangong can process over 550 trillion calculations per second. At its launch ceremony, the robot demonstrated its impressive ability to navigate complex environments and maintain a stable running speed of 6 km/h, even when faced with steep slopes and stairs.
Tiangong’s innovative features make it suitable for diverse applications in household services, manufacturing, and industrial settings based on market and user needs. Its open-source code allows for easy customization and adaptation to different use cases.
The Beijing Economic-Technological Development Zone, known as the hub of China’s robot industry, hosts over 110 robot companies that form an industrial chain system with core components, complete machinery, and applications. The launch of Tiangong aligns with advancements in AI technology showcased at the Zhongguancun Forum 2024, highlighting China’s growing optimism about AI integration into everyday life to provide meaningful tools for humans.
Tiangong represents a significant leap forward in humanoid robotics technology and is poised to transform the way we interact with machines in our daily lives.
