Full-size Humanoid Robot

A humanoid robot roughly adult height, about 1.5 to 1.8 meters tall.

A full-size humanoid robot is one whose height and arm span roughly match an adult human's; the industry generally classes robots taller than about 1.5 meters, closer to 1.6–1.8 meters, in this category, as opposed to small-size humanoids at around 1.3 meters. The point of this size is that the robot can directly use environments built for people: it can reach shelves and workbenches, step over curbs, and use human tools, which is why factory handling and warehouse applications tend to favor this size class. The tradeoffs are greater weight, higher cost, greater fall risk, and tougher demands on joint actuator modules, meaning integrated motor-plus-reducer joints, and on balance control. Examples outside China include Tesla's Optimus, Figure, and Boston Dynamics' Atlas; in China there is the Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Center's Tiangong and Unitree's H1.

ExampleThe Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Center's Tiangong Ultra stands 180 cm tall and weighs 52 kg; in April 2025 it completed the Beijing Yizhuang Humanoid Robot Half Marathon in 2 hours, 40 minutes, and 42 seconds.
