About X-Humanoid
X-Humanoid connects its robot hardware to an open training workflow. Its toolchain converts recorded images and joint observations into LeRobot datasets, then trains manipulation policies using algorithms such as Action Chunking Transformer and Diffusion Policy. RoboMIND supplies demonstrations across different robot embodiments, giving researchers task examples to use alongside their own recordings.
The centre also releases mechanical descriptions, joint limits and mesh files for simulation, plus ROS software for body control and hardware communication. Manuals and SDK instructions cover the Lite and Pro versions of TienKung. Together, these resources let developers work from a robot model and recorded demonstrations through policy training and hardware integration.

Audi said its new Changchun plant would explore the next step in humanoid-robot use for car production through a memorandum of understanding involving Audi FAW NEV Company, UBTECH Robotics, and the Beijing Innovation Center of Humanoid Robotics. The announcement tied potential humanoid deployment directly to a live production site that had just entered operation for PPE-based electric models. This is the clearest surfaced robotics partnership event for Audi in the current pass because it goes beyond general automation language and names the counterparties and intended factory context.
