About

About Qinglong

Qinglong is a full-size humanoid platform developed through Humanoid Robots Shanghai and the OpenLoong programme. The project combines a human-scale body with articulated hands, arms and legs for whole-body locomotion, manipulation and interaction, while providing a reference architecture for researchers building control and embodied-intelligence systems.

OpenLoong publishes hardware, software, models, simulation resources and datasets around its humanoid programme as an open reference architecture. The wider platform now includes Qinglong Mini, MindLoong motion models, VTouch tactile data and simulation tooling, allowing developers to work across body control, manipulation, training and evaluation.
