Tien Kung 3.0
Shipping 2026 Business
Open-source full-size humanoid platform from Beijing's X-Humanoid, the first to combine high-dynamic whole-body control with tactile interaction.
Overview
Embodied Tien Kung 3.0 was officially launched on 16 February 2026 by X-Humanoid (Beijing Innovation Center of Humanoid Robotics) as a general-purpose humanoid platform priced from about ¥299,000 (~$41,200). It is billed as the industry's first full-size humanoid to achieve whole-body high-dynamic motion control integrated with tactile interaction, running on the Wise KaiWu embodied-AI platform with ROS 2 support. X-Humanoid has open-sourced the robot body, motion-control framework, VLM/VLA models, toolchains and the RoboMIND dataset via its Open X-Humanoid GitHub organization, positioning the robot for developers, researchers and industrial deployment.
