Humanoid Robotics Platform Launched

The Beijing Innovation Center of Humanoid Robotics (X-Humanoid) has officially launched its latest general-purpose robot platform, the Embodied Tien Kung 3.0. The new system is designed with a focus on enhanced openness and practical usability for developers and researchers in the field.

- The Beijing Innovation Center of Humanoid Robotics (X-Humanoid) was established in November 2023 as a joint venture by several robotics and technology companies, including UBTECH and Xiaomi Robotics. - An earlier version of the platform was the world's first full-size, all-electric humanoid robot that could run, achieving speeds of up to 12 km/h. - The Tien Kung 3.0 is the first full-size humanoid robot capable of high-dynamic, whole-body motion control that is also integrated with tactile interaction. - A high-performance model of the robot stands 172 cm tall, weighs 73 kg, and is constructed with aircraft-grade aluminum-titanium alloys. - To accelerate development, the platform features open hardware interfaces for connecting peripherals and a software ecosystem named "HuiSi KaiWu" that provides a low-code development platform. - For AI training, X-Humanoid developed a system that transforms videos of human actions into corresponding robot movements, creating a large-scale dataset for training embodied AI. - The launch aligns with China's national strategy to create a leading humanoid robot innovation system and establish two to three globally influential humanoid robot companies by 2025. - The global humanoid robot market is projected to experience significant growth, with one forecast predicting an increase from $2.92 billion in 2025 to $15.26 billion by 2030.
