Robotera, a Tsinghua University spin-off, launches the L7: a full-size 171 cm, 65 kg biped with 400 N·m joints and a 12-DoF hand, able to dance as well as sort parcels.

What changes

  • A full-size biped of 171 cm and 65 kg.
  • Joints with 400 N·m peak torque and 25 rad/s peak speed.
  • A direct-drive hand with 12 independent degrees of freedom.
  • It combines spin jumps with logistics tasks: sorting, barcode scanning, screw fastening.

### Background In late July 2025, Robotera, a Beijing startup backed by Tsinghua University, launched the L7, its new full-size bipedal humanoid. China Daily reported the launch on July 23; the company's official press release is dated July 28. The date used is that of the first verified coverage. The L7 succeeds the STAR1, introduced in 2024 and known for its runs in the Gobi Desert. ### Specifications | Item | Announced value | |---|---| | Height | 171 cm | | Weight | 65 kg | | Peak joint torque | 400 N·m | | Peak joint speed | 25 rad/s | | Hand | direct drive, 12 independent degrees of freedom | | Wrist | ±45° lateral swing, ±90° forward/backward | | Reach | 2.1 m sphere | | Load | up to 20 kg for material handling | The robot runs, performs 360° spin jumps and dances, then sorts parcels, scans barcodes and fastens screws. ### Why it matters Robotera claimed more than 200 robots delivered at the time of the announcement and counts "9 of the world's top tech giants" among its clients. The L7 aims to combine the dynamics of a running biped with the dexterity of a manipulation robot in a single machine. ### Key takeaways The L7 became Robotera's flagship product, later deployed in Chinese logistics hubs. Some sources give a height of 175 cm: the value used here comes from the official press release.
