The AI Robot Innovation Center has developed a humanoid robot “Tiangong”. It climbed 134 steps at Haiziqiang Park in Beijing with smooth movements. Its sensing ability and movement algorithm is equipped with various capabilities and allows the robot to realize perceptual walking, grasp the terrain ahead in real time while moving, instantly analyze the environment, and adjust the whole body’s movements and walking pattern to flexibly respond to changes in steps and road conditions.
High-speed driving on complex roads is also one of the major challenges in the humanoid robot industry. The robot can run stably at 10 kilometers per hour and has a maximum speed of 12 kilometers per hour. In addition to stairs, it can move around on various terrains such as snow, sand, and mountain slopes.
Once perceptual walking became possible, the robot no longer fell over even when it received external interference. Even when forces were applied from different directions on slippery snow, Tenko can maintain its balance and avoid falling over.
These technologies mean that humanoid robots have acquired the ability to autonomously adapt to complex environments, and will lay the foundation for future applications of robots and the spread of embodied AI.
