Founded in 2023 by industry players including Xiaomi, UBTech Robotics and Beijing Jingcheng Machinery Electric, Beijing Innovation Center of Humanoid Robotics focuses on designing, testing and commercializing the Tiangong line of humanoid robots. The center operates a 9,700 m² pilot verification facility in Beijing’s E-Town development zone that currently produces about 2,000 units annually and is targeting an output of 5,000 units. Its Tiangong robots—priced between 299,000 and 779,000 yuan on JD.com—have achieved notable feats such as completing a half-marathon and winning a 100-meter sprint. In January 2026 the center rolled out its 1,000th customized unit, underscoring early traction toward mass production. The organization works with a broad supply-chain ecosystem that includes partners like LY iTech, HHS Robotics, Corenetic AI and Shanghai Ultimate Craftsman Technology. By being designated a national and local joint innovation hub for embodied AI robotics in October 2024, the company enjoys significant policy support. Its long-term goal is to bridge the gap between prototypes and large-scale commercialization of humanoid robots across China.
