Tiangong 3.0
About
About Tiangong 3.0
Tiangong 3.0 combines a full-size bipedal body with high-torque joint modules, onboard perception and a computing system intended for locomotion and embodied-intelligence workloads. Its 31 controlled axes coordinate the legs, waist, arms and upper body during walking, recovery and whole-body movement. Hot-swappable batteries support extended development sessions and reduce downtime between operating cycles.
X-Humanoid uses the platform for mobility research, manipulation development and training of general-purpose robot capabilities. The onboard compute module processes perception, control and learned policies locally, while the company’s open-source and developer programmes provide access to selected motion and software resources. Tiangong 3.0 remains a development and application platform supplied through direct institutional and commercial engagement.
