From Urban Villages to the Forefront of Smart Manufacturing | National People's Congress Deputies in Guangdong Visit HighTorque for an Inspection
livelybot | 2025.12.12
Recently, National People's Congress (NPC) Deputies in Guangdong conducted a focused inspection centered on the theme of "Promoting Mutual Reinforcement and Dual Advancement of Science, Technology and Industry in Guangdong". The deputies visited scientific research and innovation platforms, high - tech industrial development zones and smart factories across the province, and conducted on - site research on Guangdong's progress in smart manufacturing, high - tech industries and the commercialization of scientific and technological achievements. On the afternoon of December 11, the delegation visited Guangzhou HighTorque Electromechanical Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "HighTorque") to conduct an in-depth research. As a technology enterprise rooted in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area, HighTorque demonstrated its latest achievements in the robot field and vigorous innovative vitality to the deputies.

"We are a technology company that grew from an incubation base in urban villages, and being down-to-earth and focused is our fundamental trait," said Kelly, co-founder of High Torque, at the beginning of the report.

Over five years, the team has dedicated itself to in-depth research. Starting from the first joint module adapted for small robots, it has gradually built a full-stack technology chain covering core hardware, main control cores, and motion control algorithms, ultimately achieving a complete closed loop from R&D to production. It had no glamorous starting point, but it has taken solid steps. Rooted in this seemingly ordinary entrepreneurial soil, HighTorque has grown step by step into a world-leading humanoid robot company with its pragmatism and focus.

Kelly, Co-founder of High Torque, introduced the company's overview to the delegation.

During the research, the deputies conducted close-range interactions with "Mini Pi+", HighTorque’s new-generation humanoid robot.

Mini Pi+ successively demonstrated flexible dance performances and precise big-foot kicking movements, among other actions. Its stable gait and excellent motor coordination capabilities reflect High Torque’s profound accumulation in complex motion control algorithms.

More notably, the Mini Pi+ equipped with a voice module engaged in smooth conversational interactions with the deputies, demonstrating the broad possibilities of humanoid robots in intelligent interaction. The platform supports the connection and integration of multiple external sensors, enabling the robot to possess richer overall perception capabilities.

These stable, agile, and intelligent performances all stem from HighTorque’s mastery of core underlying technologies. The staff gave the deputies a detailed introduction to the company’s self-developed high-performance joint modules, which adopt a multi-layer nested planetary reduction mechanism. Despite their compact size, these modules can deliver powerful torque—this is precisely the source of the robots’ strong motion capabilities.

The inspection visit by the delegation of the National People's Congress is both an affirmation and a strong inspiration for HighTorque. HighTorque will further focus on the in-depth R&D and iteration of core technologies, and continuously drive its products to evolve toward greater stability, higher intelligence, and enhanced user-friendliness. From urban villages to the forefront of smart manufacturing, HighTorque has always maintained the pragmatism and enthusiasm it had at the start of its entrepreneurship. Taking steady steps forward, the company is firmly advancing toward the future vision of "enabling everyone to own a humanoid robot" and contributing to building a world-leading Chinese robot brand.
