Techman Robot, a subsidiary of Taiwanese giant Quanta, unveils the TM Xplore I, billed as the first industrial humanoid designed in Taiwan. Wheeled and developed with NVIDIA, it targets electronics factories, warehouses and logistics.

### Background In late August 2025, Techman Robot, a Taiwanese collaborative robot maker and subsidiary of the Quanta group, unveiled the TM Xplore I, its first humanoid, developed with NVIDIA. **Approximate date**: the first Taiwanese press reports date from August 21, 2025; the source consulted here, Mike Kalil, reported it on August 25. ### Specifications | Item | Announced value | |---|---| | Locomotion | wheeled base | | Compute | NVIDIA Jetson Orin, for real-time onboard AI processing | | Heritage | vision systems and precision control from Techman cobots | | Target uses | factories, warehouses, logistics hubs, working alongside operators | | Timeline | testing in Techman's own factory, scaling production in the second half of 2026 | | Price | not disclosed | ### Why it matters Quanta builds hardware for Apple, Meta and Tesla and controls the supply chain humanoids need: semiconductors, motors, sensors, batteries. The stated goal is to automate the last workstations that still require human precision and adaptability, up to fully automated "lights-out" factories. ### Key takeaways The TM Xplore I brings Taiwan, so far a component supplier, into the humanoid race, alongside Foxconn, which is also developing an industrial humanoid with NVIDIA. A wheeled version of the Xplore I was shown at NVIDIA GTC in March 2026.
