ARTS 2025 Review | High Torque Robotics Showcases the Infinite Potential of Humanoid Robot Research Platforms

From October 18th to 19th, 2025, the 3rd Autonomous Robot Technology Symposium (ARTS 2025) was successfully held at the Yuquan Campus of Zhejiang University.

As a platform dedicated to academic and industrial exchanges in autonomous robots and embodied intelligence development, ARTS brought together researchers from universities, research institutions, and innovative enterprises to explore cutting-edge directions in intelligent robotics.

High Torque has established a comprehensive development ecosystem centered on humanoid robot platforms, integrating hardware design, drive development, and algorithm verification. At this symposium, High Torque participated as a partner of the 3rd Autonomous Robot Technology Symposium, showcasing Mini Pi, Pi+, and Mini Hi.

► Highlights of the Demonstration

At the event, HighTorque showcased the high-performance mobility of the bipedal robot Mini Pi and the compact humanoid robot Pi+ through continuous all-day demonstrations. The robots executed multiple sets of highly dynamic movements based on an imitation learning framework — ranging from "dribbling and kicking a ball" and "powerful kicking" to "falling and standing up," as well as "lunging with a punch" and "fist-palm salute." These actions demonstrated both fluid control capabilities and exceptional stability.

► Fully self-developed and self-produced hardware

HighTorque's fully in-house developed high-performance joint modules have also attracted significant attention. The planetary series joint modules have achieved mass production and are suitable for various application scenarios including robotic bodies, exoskeletons, and robotic arms. Currently, HighTorque has established collaborations with multiple universities and research institutions.

We employ high-torque-density motors to deliver extreme power in a compact form factor. Coupled with low-cogging-torque design, the system effectively mitigates overheating issues during prolonged high-load operation. Furthermore, the robot adopts a modular structural design that supports customization, meeting diverse needs for research validation and development applications. Backed by this hardware architecture, our robotic products have evolved into a reproducible, verifiable, and expandable research-grade platform, capable of providing high consistency and reliability for studies in motion control, imitation learning, sensor fusion, and beyond.

We are committed to enabling every developer to have their own humanoid robot.

Goodbye ARTS, see you at IROS!
