TianGong Omni robot invents 'shy run' to win race
APPSO · wechat · 2026-08-26
Beijing X-Humanoid's TianGong Omni robot won the 400m sprint at the Humanoid Robot Games with a time of 45.66s. Its unique 'shy run' posture was not designed by humans but discovered by the robot in simulation via reinforcement learning to save energy and reduce shoulder load. Equipped with whole-body RL models and LiDAR, it also won an off-road race. X-Humanoid reportedly raised over $100M.
