Humanoid robot technology is quietly launching a revolution in the fields of scientific research and education. On March 12, a major news aroused strong attention in the industry: UBY Technology and Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Center released a full-size scientific research and education humanoid robot called "Tiangongxing". It completely broke the industry barriers with an astonishing price of 299,000 yuan, and set off a wave of technology popularization in the market environment where similar products are generally sold for more than 500,000 yuan.
This robot, positioned as a scientific research-grade, is not only affordable, but also has an amazing performance configuration. Tiangongxing is 170cm tall, perfectly reverting the proportion of human body shape, with a full body layout of up to 20 degrees of freedom, can run stably at a speed of 10km/h, and easily conquer various complex terrains such as hillsides, steps, sand, and snow. What is even more commendable is that it uses titanium alloy material in key parts, combining the ultra-large torque density design and aviation aluminum, which achieves a perfect balance between high hardness, high performance and high stability while ensuring lightweight.
In response to the special needs of scientific research and education, Tiangongxing has shown extremely high scalability and openness. It can be freely assembled with many cutting-edge equipment such as depth cameras, lidars, NVIDIA Orin computing power boards, and expand to a maximum of 550TOPS. At the same time, it also fully opens the underlying motor interface, sensor interface and motion control interface, and is equipped with mature development guides and sample codes, providing an ideal platform for secondary development of scientific research users.
As a pioneer in the field of humanoid robots, UBLY has established a solid foundation in R&D, supply chain, production and manufacturing, etc. with 13 years of industry accumulation. This time, UBL not only launched a revolutionary product, but also announced the establishment of the first RMB 10 million "Humanoid Robot Scientific Research Co-Research and Co-creation Fund", committed to accelerating scientific research innovation and scenario innovation, and special implementation of national and industry-level standards, projects, events and other projects for universities and research institutions at home and abroad.
It is worth mentioning that, as the initiator and general manager of the Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Center, UBL has opened more than 300 patents to the Innovation Center, jointly creating the universal robot mother platform "Tiangong", realizing the world's first full-size pure electric-driven humanoid robot's anthropomorphic running, with a maximum speed of more than 12km/h, and its overall mobile capability is leading in the world. Now, the innovation center has been officially upgraded to the "National and Local Government Co-construction Embodied Intelligent Robot Innovation Center", and has launched the universal embodied intelligent platform "Huisi Kaiwu", which continues to promote the implementation of embodied intelligent technology in various fields around "Tiangong + Kaiwu".
As the best carrier for artificial intelligence and embodied intelligent technology, humanoid robots are bringing unprecedented opportunities to scientific research and college education. With the advent of UBLIC, this cutting-edge technology has finally opened its doors to a broader scientific research and education group at a affordable price. It is reported that Tiangongxing has opened reservations and will start delivery in the second quarter, which will undoubtedly accelerate the popularization and application of humanoid robot technology in the field of scientific research and education.
