Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Center Unveils the Embodied Tinkerer 3.0!

On February 10, the Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Center officially launched the next-generation universal robot platform, the Embodied Tinkerer 3.0. This robot is the first in the industry to achieve full-body high dynamic motion control with interactive touch capabilities. It is equipped with high-torque integrated joints that enable it to overcome obstacles up to one meter high and perform tasks while kneeling, all with millimeter-level operational precision through multi-degree-of-freedom collaborative calibration.

The Embodied Tinkerer 3.0 was developed with the core goals of being more open and more user-friendly. This new model leverages the self-developed Wisdom Opens universal embodied intelligence platform, which has significantly enhanced the robot’s stability, motion control, collaboration between its embodied “big brain” and “small brain,” and its autonomous operation capabilities. It stands out as the industry’s first full-size humanoid robot to realize interactive touch for dynamic full-body motion control.

In response to compatibility and adaptability challenges in the embodied intelligence sector, the Embodied Tinkerer 3.0 offers more open software and hardware interfaces, significantly reducing development costs and entry barriers across various industries. As a new generation universal robot platform combining practical performance with an open ecosystem, the Embodied Tinkerer 3.0 is set to accelerate the application of embodied intelligence across diverse fields, enhancing productivity and efficiency.

More Open: Breaking Industry Development Barriers

The humanoid robotics industry currently faces two major challenges in the development and application domain: first, closed hardware interfaces hinder quick adaptation to diverse scenario requirements; second, the lack of comprehensive foundational tools and incompatible protocols on the software side results in high redundancy in research and development, limiting large-scale implementation and innovation. The Embodied Tinkerer 3.0 aims to break these barriers through open collaboration, making it easier and more efficient for research institutions, universities, and enterprises to develop applications tailored to various scenarios.

The hardware design of the Embodied Tinkerer 3.0 includes multiple expandable interfaces, allowing for flexible integration of various external tools. This adaptability meets the diverse needs of special operations, industrial manufacturing, and commercial services, ensuring seamless integration with mainstream industry systems. On the software side, the Wisdom Opens platform provides comprehensive development documentation, toolchains, and a low-code development platform. This simplifies complex technical capabilities into user-friendly processes and ensures full compatibility with major communication middleware and cloud protocols such as ROS2, MQTT, and TCP/IP. As a result, partners can engage in customized secondary development based on their specific requirements without needing to restructure foundational technologies, significantly lowering development barriers and shortening timelines.

Currently, Beijing Humanoid has completed open-source developments of critical technologies, including the physical embodiment of the Tinkerer, control framework, world model, embodied VLM large model, cross-body VLA large model, embodied intelligence training toolchain, embodied dataset RoboMIND, and embodied simulation assets ArtVIP, all based on the Embodied Tinkerer and Wisdom Opens platforms. This open-source ecosystem is a key catalyst for accelerating technological iterations and real-world applications in humanoid robotics, enabling companies, universities, and research institutions to develop applications more efficiently and flexibly, ultimately facilitating scalable applications across various scenarios.

More User-Friendly: Empowering with Wisdom Opens

“More user-friendly” is a core value that Beijing Humanoid continuously focuses on. This is grounded in the advanced core technologies of physical performance and embodied intelligence, aimed at achieving the goal of being capable and efficient.

In terms of physical performance, the Embodied Tinkerer 3.0 features high-torque integrated joints that provide exceptional limb power, enabling it to meet high-load requirements in specialized operations. Even in rugged or complex environments, it maintains body posture stability due to its sufficient torque output, effectively overcoming various scene restrictions and operational demands. Additionally, its excellent flexibility and coordinated control capabilities allow it to perform complex movement tasks, such as overcoming approximately one-meter obstacles and executing continuous high-energy actions. Combined with its flexible torso and upper limb movement range, the robot is capable of kneeling and bending operations, demonstrating fine control even in confined spaces or restricted postures, showcasing its comprehensive advantages in agile motion and dexterous manipulation.

Moreover, the multi-degree-of-freedom collaborative design allows precise coordination and action adjustments among joints. Through this collaborative calibration, operational precision is maintained within millimeters, perfectly aligning with the operational demands in industrial manufacturing, effectively avoiding operational deviations and ensuring quality. This further enhances the universal application capabilities, enabling the humanoid robot to demonstrate real operational capacity and practical value in complex scenarios.

Built on high-performance physical capabilities, the Wisdom Opens universal embodied intelligence platform is central to making the Embodied Tinkerer 3.0 more user-friendly. This platform creates a closed-loop system encompassing perception, decision-making, and execution, allowing the robot to gradually move away from remote control and manual intervention, transitioning from single-machine operation to multi-machine autonomous collaboration.

The embodied “big brain,” driven by AI models including world models and VLM models, serves as a high-level cognitive center that processes questions of “what is it” and “why,” understands the observed scenes and human language instructions, performs common-sense reasoning, and breaks down complex tasks into step-by-step plans. Meanwhile, the embodied “small brain,” powered by the VLA model and autonomous navigation capabilities, manages real-time perception, obstacle avoidance, and precise action execution, ensuring stable and efficient operation even in complex and variable environments.

Finally, the multi-embodied intelligence collaborative application system, built on the universal embodied intelligence platform Wisdom Opens, facilitates cross-body compatibility, asynchronous task collaboration, and autonomous scheduling, achieving true “one brain, multiple machines, one brain, multiple capabilities”. This marks a significant step toward the industrialization of embodied intelligence, providing a replicable and implementable path for practical applications.

The launch of the Embodied Tinkerer 3.0 represents another important milestone in Beijing Humanoid’s efforts to shape the embodied intelligence ecosystem. With its core philosophy of being more open and more user-friendly, this platform not only solidifies the technological foundation of the embodied intelligence industry but also injects vital momentum into its large-scale applications.

As global technology rapidly advances, embodied intelligence serves as a central engine driving a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation. It is a competitive arena for future industrial foresight and a strategic support for China to achieve technological self-reliance and strengthen its manufacturing foundation.

As a national-level innovation platform, Beijing Humanoid remains focused on national strategic needs, concentrating on tackling core technologies in embodied intelligence, developing cutting-edge products, and promoting large-scale applications. Looking ahead, Beijing Humanoid will leverage the Embodied Tinkerer 3.0 and Wisdom Opens platforms to collaborate with partners across the industry chain, accelerating the deployment of humanoid robots in various application domains and ushering in a new era of human-robot symbiosis.
