Product overview

About Shiyun RD3 Ultra

RD3 Ultra is an industrial humanoid robot from Shiyun Technology (时耘科技), a company based in Tianjin, China. Local and national media reported in August 2026 that it stands 174 cm tall, weighs about 55 kg and is designed for high-risk work such as fire inspection, underground mining and power-park patrols.

The first batch of 15 units came off the company's line on 13 August 2026 in the Hexi District's aerospace digital industrial park. Reports put the first-batch price above CNY 200,000 per unit and say intent purchase orders had been reached. A Tianjin local-media report also says the robot can operate for eight hours, its battery can be swapped in ten seconds and the company was renting robots for use in several enterprise scenarios. Those limited deployments support pilot status; large-scale delivery is planned for 2027.

Reports say RD3 Ultra can reset itself within five seconds after tripping in cluttered or uneven areas. Listed uses include power inspection, security patrol, industrial operations and maintenance, emergency survey and station guarding. No official product page or datasheet was found, and degrees of freedom, battery capacity, compute and payload remain undisclosed.
