Tiangong is described as the world's first full-sized humanoid robot capable of operating solely through electric drive. The robot was developed by Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Center Company.

Tiangong has open source code with good development and adaptability, so it has diverse applications. Through robots, robotics companies and other scientific research units can directly research household services, manufacturing and industrial applications according to market and user needs.

Tiangong is 1.63 m tall and weighs 43 kg, equipped with many vision perception sensors and high-precision inertial measurement devices. It is capable of processing 550 trillion calculations per second. In addition, the robot is equipped with 6-axis force sensors to provide accurate force feedback.

Tiangong robot has open source code with good development and adaptability.

At the launch ceremony, Tiangong demonstrated its ability to adapt to complex environments and maintain a stable running speed of 6 km/h. The robot moves easily on slopes and stairs, promptly adjusting its gait when necessary.

As the center of the robot industry in Beijing, the Beijing Economic-Technological Development Zone gathers 110 robot companies, forming an industrial chain system consisting of core components, complete machines and application.

Tiangong's launch coincides with a number of AI technology breakthroughs being revealed at the Zhongguancun Forum 2024 , according to Seán Ó hÉigeartaigh, director at Cambridge's Center for Risk Research. "I'm quite optimistic about the prospects of China's AI industry. One of the things that China does very well is develop AI in a way that integrates into everyday life, providing meaningful and useful tools. for humans ," he said.
