Qinglong (OpenLoong)

An open-source full-size humanoid “reference design” released by the Shanghai Humanoid Robot Innovation Center.

Qinglong is a full-size bipedal humanoid robot that the National and Local Co-built Humanoid Robotics Innovation Center (also known as the Shanghai Humanoid Robot Innovation Center, operated by Humanoid Robot (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.) unveiled at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference in July 2024, positioned as an open-source “reference platform.” Published specs: 185 cm tall, 43 degrees of freedom across the body, 400 N·m of peak joint torque, and 400 TOPS (trillion operations per second) of onboard compute. Alongside the launch, the center founded the OpenLoong open-source community, publishing the full hardware design and software so universities and companies can build on the same base platform instead of each reinventing the hardware. Qinglong and Tiangong, from the Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Center, are frequently mentioned together as China's two leading open-source general-purpose humanoid platforms.

ExampleA developer downloads Qinglong's models and control code from the OpenLoong community, tunes motion control in simulation first, and then deploys it to the real robot.
