X-Humanoid Launches New Robotics Platform
The Beijing Innovation Center of Humanoid Robotics (X-Humanoid) has launched its latest general-purpose robot platform, the Embodied Tien Kung 3.0. The new system is designed with a focus on openness and usability for developers and researchers. This release adds another advanced platform to the competitive field of humanoid robotics.
- The Tien Kung 3.0 stands 169cm tall, weighs 62kg, and is powered by an Intel Core i7 processor and dual Nvidia Jetson AGX Orin boards that deliver approximately 550 TOPS of computational power. - To encourage development, X-Humanoid is providing open software and hardware interfaces, full support for protocols like ROS2 and MQTT, and is open-sourcing its robot body, Visual Language Model, and the RoboMIND dataset. - The robot's physical capabilities include high-torque joints that allow it to climb over 1-meter obstacles and maintain balance and stability in complex environments. - The Beijing Innovation Center of Humanoid Robotics (X-Humanoid) was founded in 2023 as a joint effort by the Chinese government and private companies; it recently raised 700 million RMB (approx. £77 million) in a strategic investment from backers including Baidu. - This launch is part of China's broader national strategy to establish a preliminary innovation system for humanoid robots by 2025 and a secure industrial and supply
