The electric running humanoid robot 'Tiangong' has been officially open-sourced, marking a significant milestone in robotics. Developed by the National and Local Co-built Embodied AI Robotics Innovation Center in Beijing, Tiangong is the first full-sized humanoid robot powered entirely by electricity. This open-source initiative aims to enhance the development of humanoid robots and promote their integration into everyday human life.
Tiangong features two versions, 'Tiangong 1.0 LITE' and 'Tiangong Pro,' with extensive documentation available for researchers. The robot can run at speeds up to 12 kilometers per hour and navigate various terrains, showcasing its advanced capabilities. The open-source project is expected to unify development standards across the humanoid robotics supply chain, fostering innovation and reducing costs.
• Tiangong is the first electric running humanoid robot open-sourced for development.
• The project aims to unify standards in humanoid robotics development.
Open source refers to making software or technology available for public use and modification, which allows for collaborative development and innovation.
A humanoid robot is designed to resemble the human body in form and function, enabling it to perform tasks similar to humans.
Embodied intelligence refers to the integration of physical and cognitive capabilities in robots, allowing them to interact with their environment effectively.
This center is responsible for developing Tiangong and aims to advance humanoid robotics through open-source initiatives.
UBTECH is involved in humanoid robotics and is expected to benefit from the open-source project by enhancing its development capabilities.
