Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Center

A Beijing humanoid robot public platform company, maker of the Tiangong robot series and open-source embodied models.

The Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Center was established as a corporate innovation center in November 2023 in Beijing's Yizhuang tech zone (Beijing Economic-Technological Development Area); reports say it was jointly funded by UBTech, Xiaomi, Jingcheng Electromechanical, and Yizhuang's state-owned capital, among others. In October 2024, China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Beijing municipal government jointly designated it the 'National-Local Co-Built Embodied Intelligent Robot Innovation Center,' and it describes itself as China's first full-stack embodied AI hardware-and-software company. It positions itself as a shared industry platform: on hardware, its openly extensible Tiangong humanoid series, with Tiangong Ultra winning the Beijing Yizhuang Humanoid Robot Half Marathon in April 2025 and the line now at Tiangong 3.0; on software, the general-purpose embodied AI platform Huisi Kaiwu, the real-robot dataset RoboMIND, and, released around November 2025, the open-source embodied brain model Pelican-VL and the cross-embodiment VLA model XR-1.

ExampleTiangong Ultra finished the 2025 Beijing Yizhuang Humanoid Robot Half Marathon in 2 hours, 40 minutes, and 42 seconds, taking first place.
