Robot overview

TianGong 3.0 combines bipedal movement with two-arm manipulation in a full-size humanoid platform. It brings together whole-body motion control, onboard perception and configurable dexterous hands to support applications that require a robot to move through an environment and interact with objects or equipment.

X-HUMANOID positions the platform for tasks including parts sorting, bin picking and industrial inspection. Its open motor and sensor interfaces also make it relevant to engineering teams developing their own robotic applications.

For UK businesses, the starting point is a specific workflow: what the robot must handle, where it needs to operate and what successful performance looks like. The Robot Group helps establish those requirements and work with X-HUMANOID on the appropriate configuration and evaluation plan.

Key

Technical Breakthroughs

1. Full-size mobility and whole-body control

Standing 170 cm tall and weighing 64.5 kg, TianGong 3.0 has 31 active degrees of freedom, excluding its dexterous hands.

Its aluminium–magnesium alloy structure and whole-body control system are designed to support coordinated movement and balance. This provides a platform for developing tasks that combine locomotion with physical interaction.

2. Configurable hands for handling and manipulation

TianGong 3.0 supports multiple dexterous hand configurations, with optional six-axis force sensors.

The configuration can be matched to the intended application, from handling components to interacting with equipment. Object shape, required grip, working reach and payload should determine the selection of hands and sensors.

3. Onboard AI and environmental perception

An NVIDIA Jetson AGX Thor computing platform provides onboard processing for AI applications.

RGB-D cameras in the head and torso work alongside LiDAR to capture visual and spatial information. These inputs support the development of navigation, object recognition and manipulation capabilities within the robot’s operating environment.

4. Battery changes without shutting down

A 15 Ah + 3 Ah dual-battery system supports hot-swappable battery replacement without shutting down the robot.

This allows battery changes to be incorporated into the operating plan without a full system restart. X-HUMANOID lists battery life of at least two hours, with practical runtime dependent on the task, configuration and operating conditions.

5. Open interfaces for application development

Open access to full-body motor control and sensor interfaces, together with ROS 2 compatibility, gives developers a foundation for building and integrating applications.

Engineering teams can develop control and perception functions around their requirements, making TianGong 3.0 relevant to industrial innovation teams, universities and robotics research organisations.

Deployment

+ Scalability

Start with a defined task and measurable acceptance criteria. A useful first evaluation might focus on sorting a particular component range, handling specified containers or inspecting selected equipment.

The Robot Group works with your team and X-HUMANOID to establish:

The task, object characteristics, required payload and handling configuration.
Working heights, travel routes, floor conditions and site safety requirements.
Target cycle time, task success rate and acceptable operator intervention.
Software integration, connectivity and data requirements.
Training, battery management, maintenance and support arrangements.

Results from the initial evaluation can inform the case for additional tasks, workstations or sites.
