From May 28 to 30, HighTorque participated in the Beyond Expo 2026 Technology and Innovation Exhibition held in Macao. The Mini Pi Plus product line was showcased on site. As a leading platform for technological innovation in Asia, Beyond Expo brings together technology companies and investment firms from around the world.HighTorque made a strong appearance at the exhibition with its full lineup of small humanoid robot products, comprehensively showcasing the product forms and commercial application capabilities of its self‑developed humanoid robots. The robot’s dynamic demonstration session became the highlight, vividly showcasing the XiaoPai series’ exceptional scene adaptability, operational stability, and intelligent performance.
2026 Asia-Pacific RoboCup: Putting Technological Capabilities to the Test in Real-World Scenarios
On May 30, the Tianjin International Invitational of the 2026 Asia-Pacific RoboCup was held, bringing together top-tier research teams from universities around the world, R&D groups from leading enterprises, and cutting-edge robotic technologies to deliver a thrilling showdown among the best in the field. Among all competition events, the humanoid robot soccer category has drawn particular attention due to its highest technical complexity and most stringent autonomy requirements—The competing robots operate entirely autonomously,The entire operation was conducted without any manual remote control or off-site intervention. HighTorque is providing expert technical support for the Humanoid and Small-Size Leagues at this year’s RoboCup, ensuring the smooth operation of the competition with its robust capabilities. Earlier in March, HighTorque had already received approval from the RoboCup International Committee and became a RoboCup League Partner (official tournament partner).It signifies the event ecosystem’s high degree of recognition for the platform in terms of stability, openness, and technological maturity. Platforms selected for the program must pass a multi‑dimensional evaluation encompassing hardware performance, software openness, and standard compatibility—criteria that set a high bar worldwide. The HighTorque Mini Pi Plus, capable of supporting high‑level competitions, has emerged as a standout.Become a humanoid robot development platform tailored for competitive events and scientific research/educational applications.
The competition leverages real-world adversarial scenarios to drive the iterative advancement of technologies such as machine vision, autonomous navigation, and multi-robot coordination, with robotic “players” autonomously executing tasks including ball detection, kicking, dribbling, shooting, and contesting possession. This event also provided a comprehensive validation of the Mini Pi Plus’s core software and hardware capabilities in high-intensity competitive scenarios.
On the hardware front, the Mini Pi Plus features a competition‑grade design that delivers lightweight construction, high performance, and robust durability. In terms of lightweight design, the compact 65-cm, 13-kg body significantly reduces both rotational inertia and energy consumption. Paired with a high-capacity quick-release battery—providing one hour of runtime at a running speed of 0.5 m/s—there’s no need to swap batteries mid‑competition.At the same time, it facilitates both transportation and debugging for the competitors. In terms of perception and computing power, it is equipped with a ZED Mini camera and an NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX main controller, enabling clearer vision and faster processing. The entire unit features neat, concealed wiring for enhanced safety and reliability. With 22 degrees of freedom throughout the body, it can execute complex tactical maneuvers such as running, dribbling, and blocking.A self-developed high-performance joint delivers robust power and precise force control, significantly reducing post-collision tumbles and system failures, thereby ensuring the continuity and visual appeal of competitions.
The full-stack open software architecture hinges on three key pillars—standardized architecture, rapid deployment, and lowered barriers to entry—significantly shortening the validation cycle from algorithm development to real-world implementation. The platform integrates full-stack capabilities, including motion control, visual perception, behavioral decision-making, and communication coordination, with robocup_workspace as the core framework, providing a unified development environment and interfaces.Players do not need to build the underlying system from scratch, and team collaboration is smoother. The platform enables rapid end-to-end Sim2Real deployment, seamlessly transitioning from simulation-based training to real‑robot deployment, and supports simulation environments such as Isaac Lab and MuJoCo. Multi-level APIs for control, status, communication, and more are fully exposed, complemented by comprehensive documentation covering the entire development lifecycle.A software-hardware integrated open architecture significantly lowers the barriers to participation and development.
At a broader ecosystem level, HighTorque has joined RCAP’s Asia-Pacific RoboCup initiative as a governing member and collaborative platform, contributing to the development of the regional robotics ecosystem. On June 2, the RCAP Asia-Pacific RoboCup Beijing Center officially commenced operations. The center leverages RCAP’s comprehensive international competition framework, technical rule system, and global network of world-class experts.Committed to building an international public service platform for the intelligent robotics and embodied intelligence industries, it aims to become China’s “first gateway” for connecting robots to the world. As one of the first‑batch partner platforms, HighTorque will subsequently participate in the center’s initiatives, including providing event‑related technologies, co‑developing industry standards, and facilitating industry‑chain integration. It will establish efficient connections with global developers, upstream and downstream players in the value chain, and real‑world application scenarios.To accelerate the transition of robotics from laboratories and competitions to industry and society.
From innovative explorations at the intersection of art and other disciplines, to real-world validation in commercial applications, and from ecosystem co‑construction in academia to technological refinement on professional competition stages, this comprehensive, multi‑scenic, and multi‑dimensional showcase not only highlights our robust overall capabilities, but also serves as compelling evidence of our brand’s product maturity, technical stability, and adaptability across diverse use cases.
