Tiangong is a full-size humanoid robot from China that stands as tall as an average human, can jog and is capable of running on electric power.
Like it or not, soon our world is going to be filled with robots that walk among us, not as clunky machines of sci-fi films, but with the grace and agility of humans. Take Tiangong, for example, a full-size humanoid robot capable of running on electric power, which was recently unveiled by the Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Center.
Tiangong's big debut At its debut, Tiangong jogged before an impressed crowd, demonstrating its ability to handle slopes and stairs effortlessly. A demonstration video also displayed its walking, running, gait adjustment and stair-climbing abilities in 'blind mode,' where it relies solely on its sensors.
Open-source collaboration and commercial applications Both Tiangong and Atlas are designed for compatibility with open-source software, fostering a spirit of collaboration and innovation. This strategy is anticipated to pave the way for widespread commercial use of humanoid robots in various sectors, including home services and industrial manufacturing.
Kurt's key takeaway In the dance of innovation, robots like Tiangong are leading the waltz into the future. They challenge our preconceived notions of robotics and invite us to consider the roles they will play in our lives. As some people admire their capabilities, we must also acknowledge the reservations some may feel about their integration into our society.
