X-Humanoid is the brand name of the Beijing Innovation Center of Humanoid Robotics (Chinese: 北京人形机器人创新中心), a national-municipal joint initiative established in November 2023 in Beijing's Economic-Technological Development Area (Yizhuang). It was the first innovation center in China dedicated specifically to humanoid robot core technology development, product engineering, and application ecosystem construction. The center functions as an R&D and integration hub, providing shared laboratories, testbeds, and demonstration spaces where universities, startups, and manufacturers co-develop perception, control, and actuation technologies for humanoid robots.[1][2]
The Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Center was founded in November 2023 in the Beijing Economic and Technological Development Zone. It was established as a collaborative platform supported by national and municipal government resources, and became one of China's six major humanoid robot innovation centers.[1][3]
The center developed the Tien Kung series of humanoid robots as its primary hardware platform. The Tien Kung Ultra variant, standing 180 cm tall and weighing 55 kg, gained attention by securing first place at a humanoid robot half marathon in Beijing's Yizhuang district, completing the 21 km track in approximately two hours and 40 minutes.[4]
In February 2026, X-Humanoid raised $100 million in its first funding round, underscoring significant government and industry investment in the initiative.[5]
X-Humanoid showcased fully autonomous robotic solutions at CES 2026, demonstrating the Tien Kung platform's capabilities in real-world application scenarios including industrial manufacturing and commercial services.[6]
X-Humanoid has developed two primary product platforms:
The Embodied Tien Kung is a universal robotics platform providing an industrial-grade robot body engineered for long endurance, high payload capacity, and coordinated bimanual operation. The latest version, Embodied Tien Kung 3.0, was introduced in February 2026 with significant upgrades in balance, motion control, and fully autonomous operation. It is described as the industry's first full-size humanoid robot to achieve whole-body, high-dynamic motion control integrated with tactile interaction.[7]
The robot features multiple expansion interfaces that support flexible integration of various end-effectors and tools, enabling rapid adaptation to specialized operations, industrial manufacturing, and commercial services.
