About

About TM Xplore-I

TM Xplore I is Techman Robot's humanoid upper body on a wheeled mobile base for manipulation and factory applications. An NVIDIA Jetson Thor module runs edge AI, while a vision-language-action model connects multimodal sensing with navigation and task execution. Techman combines the platform with its industrial vision and collaborative-robot technology.

At GTC 2026, visitors could order specified coasters and have the robot deliver them. Techman uses Isaac Sim digital twins to test motion paths and FoundationStereo for depth perception during development. The company targets semiconductor manufacturing, electronics assembly and automotive production. These manufacturing applications form the platform's intended integration scope, while the exhibition demonstration involved the narrower coaster-delivery task.

Timeline

  • TM Xplore I demonstrates factory material-handling workflows

    2026-08-19 - Demonstration - TM Xplore I performed warehouse box picking, material transport, and workstation handoffs. Its wheeled form was presented for movement through narrow factory aisles without major production-line changes. Techman combined graphical programming, edge AI, shared vision and multimodal robot-learning systems for fixed and higher-variability tasks.
