Measuring 1.85m and weighing 80kg, it is capable of running at up to 12km/h, walking on various terrains and up and down stairs, as well as handling objects and interacting with its environment. Presented in the spring, Tiangong has already been tested in China in warehouses, where it carries out various logistics and surveillance tasks. Along with the USA, China is now positioning itself as a real leader in the robotics sector and, more specifically, in the field of humanoid robots.
