X-Humanoid Unveils New General-Purpose Robot

- The Beijing Innovation Center of Humanoid Robotics (X-Humanoid) was established in November 2023 and recently raised 700 million RMB (approximately $100 million USD) in a strategic investment round from backers including Baidu and T-Capital. - The Tien Kung 3.0 stands 169 cm tall, weighs 62 kg, and is powered by an Intel Core i7 processor and dual Nvidia Jetson AGX Orin boards, which deliver approximately 550 TOPS of computing power for real-time data processing. - A key part of the platform's strategy is its "openness," with X-Humanoid providing developers with access to its universal embodied AI platform, "Wise KaiWu," along with toolchains and datasets to lower technical barriers and encourage ecosystem growth. - This new model shifts focus from the endurance and speed of its predecessors—one of which won a half-marathon—to high-dynamic agility, demonstrating the ability to scale a one-meter wall with a single hand. - The robot's processing and perception are driven by a proprietary "perception-decision-execution" closed-loop AI system, allowing it to operate autonomously rather than relying on pre-programmed routines. - Tien Kung 3.0 successfully connected to Galaxy Space's low Earth orbit satellite network, enabling high-throughput, real-time transmission of its visual and environmental data. - X-Humanoid has already begun commercial pilot programs, including a collaboration with the China Electric Power Research Institute for high-risk grid inspections and a partnership with sportswear company Li-Ning to use the robots for athletic shoe testing.
