At the 2025 World Robot Conference, Sichuan Tianlian Robotics Co., Ltd. unveiled its first humanoid robot for the consumer market, "Super Species - Xiaotian," which sparked heated discussion with a starting price of 38,600 yuan. This 1.25-meter-tall, 25-kilogram robot boasts 26 degrees of freedom, enabling smooth movements such as walking and grasping, making it suitable for home use and marking a step forward in the practical application of consumer-grade humanoid robots.
"Xiaotian" is equipped with multimodal, large-scale edge computing power and real-time interactive capabilities. Its joints have a maximum torque of 200Nm and a single-arm load capacity of 10kg. Combined with visual and tactile sensors, it can accurately perceive its environment and avoid collisions. Rather than being a laboratory exhibit, it focuses on home needs such as delivery and companionship, embodying the concept of "bringing robots into every aspect of life." At the exhibition, the Tianlian robot not only attracted a large number of visitors but also successfully secured orders, demonstrating market recognition.
Technically, Tianlian builds its competitiveness with a full-stack "core components + complete machine" layout: proprietary harmonic reducers and ultra-lightweight integrated joints (with an IP54 protection rating and half the size and weight of similar products). The Zhuhai base has a planned annual production capacity of 180,000 units, at a cost 50% lower than its international counterparts. The high-end model, the T1 Pro, leads the industry with 81 degrees of freedom (71 active and 10 passive), while the hybrid robots CW1 and CW2 demonstrate potential in multiple scenarios.
On the policy and capital front, "Xiaotian" was selected as one of Sichuan's first iconic products and received special support. The company initiated IPO guidance on the Science and Technology Innovation Board (STAR Market) in July, aiming to broaden its financing channels. This launch not only breaks the high price barrier of humanoid robots but also heralds the accelerated scale-up of its adoption in the consumer market.
