What changes

Tiangong runs at 6 km/h with fully electric drive.
The robot handles slopes and stairs by adapting its gait.
The platform is open to companies and labs.
It is the first generation of a series that later dominates robot races.

### Background On April 27-28, 2024, in the Beijing Economic-Technological Development Area (E-Town), the Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Center unveiled Tiangong. This public-private center presents it as the world's first full-size humanoid able to run relying solely on electric drive. ### Specifications | Item | Value | |---|---| | Height | 1.63 m | | Weight | 43 kg | | Steady running speed | 6 km/h | | Onboard compute | 550 trillion operations per second | | Sensors | 3D vision, high-precision IMUs, six-axis force sensors | The robot adapts to complex terrain: it climbs slopes and stairs by automatically adjusting its gait. ### Why it matters Tiangong is designed as an open, scalable platform that other companies and labs can build on for home or industrial uses. It is the first generation of a family (Tiangong Ultra, 2.0, 3.0) that would win Beijing's first robot half marathon in April 2025. ### Key takeaways Tiangong marks Beijing's entry, through a publicly backed center, into the humanoid race, with a shared-platform strategy rather than a commercial product.
