TetraBOT Tiankui 1

The Tiankui 1 (天魁1号) is an explosion-proof wheeled humanoid from TetraBOT, a Nanjing company whose Chinese name is 天创机器人. Reports place its release in early January 2025. It is designed for inspection and tool operation in hazardous industrial sites and is reported to hold IIC T6 explosion-proof certification.

Published figures give a height of about 220 cm, weight of about 260 kg and 30 body joints. Company material states a single-arm payload of 25 kg, and the lift mechanism lets the arm reach about 300 cm. The modular lower body can use four-wheel or tracked bases. A Nanjing government profile gives up to eight hours of operation; the original launch sheet reported five hours, so the current figure is recorded with that conflict noted.

The robot stood by for high-voltage inspection at a Nanjing football match in August 2025. By July 2026, a Nanjing government report said it had been deployed at a hazardous-chemicals company. More than 20 orders from emergency and energy-sector enterprises were reported in 2025, but no general public ordering channel or price was found, so it remains classified as a pilot product.
