X-Humanoid Debuts New Robotics Platform
In Beijing, X-Humanoid introduced its "Tien Kung 3.0" robot platform. The company described it as a more open and practical humanoid robotics system, with potential applications in the service, education, and research sectors.
- The "Tien Kung 3.0" is the first full-size humanoid robot to achieve whole-body, high-dynamic motion control that is integrated with tactile interaction. It is capable of climbing over 1-meter obstacles and can maintain balance in rugged and complex environments. - X-Humanoid is also known as the Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Center and is a key part of China's strategy to advance its robotics industry. The center has received significant financial backing, including a recent 700 million RMB (approximately £77 million) investment from backers like the Beijing Artificial Intelligence Industry Investment Fund and Baidu. - A major focus of the Tien Kung 3.0 platform is its "open" architecture. It provides accessible software and hardware interfaces, including support for common communication protocols like ROS2, to reduce development costs and barriers for other companies and researchers. - The robot is powered by X-Humanoid's proprietary "Wise KaiWu" general-purpose embodied AI platform. This system coordinates the robot's balance, motion control, and autonomous operation, enabling it to perform complex tasks. - Prior versions of the "Tien Kung" robot have demonstrated impressive mobility, including running at up to 12 km/h and successfully climbing a 134-step outdoor staircase in a park in Beijing. - X-Humanoid has a track record of success in robotics competitions, winning 10 medals at the World Humanoid Robot Games in August 2025, including a gold in the 100-meter dash for its "Tien Kung Ultra" model.
