X Humanoid (Beijing Innovation Center of Humanoid Robotics) builds the Embodied Tien Kung platform, open source, developer friendly humanoid with whole body high dynamic motion control and tactile interaction.
X Humanoid (Beijing Innovation Center of Humanoid Robotics) is a Chinese robotics organization developing open humanoid platforms and foundational technologies for embodied intelligence. Established to accelerate China’s humanoid robotics ecosystem, the organization builds developer-focused hardware and software that supports research, commercialization, and industry collaboration. Its flagship Tiangong humanoid platform combines whole-body dynamic motion control, tactile interaction, and open development tools. Powered by the Wise KaiWu AI platform, X Humanoid supports ROS 2, MQTT, and has open-sourced key technologies including world models, vision-language-action (VLA) models, and simulation tools, enabling researchers and developers to build applications on a shared humanoid robotics foundation.

Pulkit MudgalX-Humanoid was founded in 2023 as the Beijing Innovation Center of Humanoid Robotics. From the start, it positioned itself around an open, developer-friendly humanoid platform rather than a closed commercial robot stack.
By 2025, X-Humanoid was presenting Embodied Tien Kung as an open humanoid platform powered by the Wise KaiWu embodied-intelligence stack. The company highlighted support for ROS 2, MQTT, world models, VLA models, simulation tools, and tactile interaction.

X-Humanoid is trying to make humanoid development more open and more programmable rather than keeping the entire stack closed. Its importance comes from combining a public platform robot, an embodied AI stack, and a developer ecosystem meant to lower the cost and complexity of building on humanoid systems.
