Tiangong Omni
Beijing Innovation Center of Humanoid Robotics (X-Humanoid) · China · 2026
A 1.35 m, 39 kg humanoid sold as an open base for other companies to build on — and, three days after launch, champion of the 400 m small class at the Beijing robot games.
Tiangong Omni is the lightweight member of the Tiangong family from the Beijing Innovation Center of Humanoid Robotics (X-Humanoid), unveiled on 20 August 2026 at the World Robot Conference in Beijing. It stands 1.35 m and weighs 39 kg complete, with a stated but unquantified payload, and the centre aims it at narrow spaces, emergency response and domestic service. What separates it from the centre’s earlier machines is the business model rather than the hardware. Omni is offered as an open base: the joints, the sensors, the system layer and the motion-control API are all exposed for third-party development, and the centre presents it as a Humanoid Native platform combining perception-driven mobility with whole-body general control. Chief executive Xiong Youjun has been explicit that the point is a cheaper, mass-producible standard platform other manufacturers can build on rather than a machine competing head-on with Songyan Dynamics or Booster Robotics, and that the centre intends to put most of its own effort into the control and reasoning layers on top. Three days after launch the robot won the 400 m small-class final at the second World Humanoid Robot Games on 23 August 2026, in 45.66 s, on the same afternoon that the larger Tiangong Ultra took the big-class title in 38.15 s. Omni ran with one arm held up in front of its face, a posture that drew attention in Chinese coverage; the team said it was not copied from a human demonstration but emerged from the robot’s own reinforcement learning. The same executive is candid about the wider picture: the return on investment for humanoids entering factories still lags industrial robots and human workers, in his words, though the gap is closing quickly. No price and no deployment figures have been published. The centre published a full spec card for Omni on 21 August 2026, and it changes the picture in one important way: Omni is not one machine but three, all 135 cm tall. The flagship weighs 39.5 kg, carries 31 degrees of freedom and a Thor T5000 compute module rated at 2070 TFLOPS, and supports dexterous hands, VR teleoperation and isomorphic arms — this is the version aimed at teams deploying large models. The standard version drops to 37 kg and 25 degrees of freedom on an eight-core CPU with 8 GB of memory, and is offered for autonomous guided tours, performance and classroom interaction. The basic version is 35 kg, 23 degrees of freedom, the same modest computer and a quick-swap battery; the centre positions it for teleoperated demonstrations inside a defined area. Walking speed is 2 m/s unladen and 1 m/s under full load, and the sensor set — depth camera, LiDAR, high-precision IMU — is shared across the range. The open-platform claim is specific: joint, sensor, system and motion-control APIs are all exposed, alongside a 500-hour dynamics-filtered motion dataset, and the centre states plainly that it is not handing developers an SDK but the body, perception, motion and data-capture interfaces themselves.
