The National and Local Co-built Embodied Artificial Intelligence Robotics Innovation Center on Monday launched the open-source initiative for "Tiangong", the world's first full-size purely electric-driven humanoid robot.
This decision is anticipated to promote the secondary development of humanoid robots and expedite their integration into everyday human life.
As a key platform driving breakthroughs in intelligent technology and industrial collaboration, the innovation center is currently accelerating advancements in the "Tiangong" humanoid robot, a domestically-developed platform. Additionally, it is focusing on the development of the whole-body collaborative intelligent cerebellum platform and the multifunctional intelligent body platform, "Kaiwu."
"Tiangong" boasts an average speed of 10 kilometers per hour and can reach a top speed of 12 kilometers per hour, setting a benchmark in its class. It is capable of navigating various terrains with ease, including slopes, stairs, grass, gravel, and sand.
Following the official launch of the open-source initiative for Tiangong, the innovation center will collaborate with universities, research institutes, integrators, and other organizations worldwide that possess secondary development capabilities in humanoid robotics. Together, they aim to create the most influential intelligent open-source community.

A pitch event for the third China International Supply Chain Expo (CISCE) was held in Milan, Italy on Tuesday, with more than 200 representatives of trade promotion institutions, business associations and enterprises from the two countries in attendance.
The event, also an economic and trade forum between China and Italy, witnessed the signing of multiple cooperation documents.
Italian business representatives said Italy and China have always maintained solid relations, and Italian companies cannot develop without the Chinese market.
Through important cooperation platforms such as the CISCE, the two sides will build a closer partnership in industrial and chain supply chains and make greater contributions to promoting economic and trade cooperation between Italy and China and between Europe and China, they said.
"We get together here to promote the further development of bilateral relations and serve those companies that carry out bilateral exchanges between China and Italy. We also take this opportunity to promote the China International Supply Chain Expo. I believe this will help promote friendly exchanges between the two countries," said Mario Boselli, president of the Italy China Council Foundation.
The third China International Supply Chain Expo will be held in Beijing from July 16 to 20 this year, according to the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, its organizer.
With a total exhibition area of 120,000 square meters, the expo features six major exhibition areas, namely, advanced manufacturing, clean energy, smart vehicles, digital technology, healthy living and green agriculture.
As the world's first national-level exhibition focusing on supply chains, the expo is an internationally shared public product. First held in 2023, the expo has contributed to building more secure, stable, open and inclusive global industrial and supply chains.
