The first phase of the 140th China Import and Export Fair (Canton Fair) — the Advanced Manufacturing exhibition — was held in Guangzhou from October 15 to 19. The Canton Fair is China’s comprehensive international trade event with the longest history, largest scale, most complete product range, and the greatest and most diverse buyer attendance. Coinciding with the Fair’s 70th anniversary, High Torque Robotics (Gaoqing) made a strong appearance with its full product matrix, showcasing to the industry and the public the engineering capabilities and real-world application value of small humanoid robots.

Amid the current race among full-size humanoids to grow “taller and stronger,” High Torque Robotics is driving the next inflection point of humanoid robot scaling — not toward “bigger and stronger,” but toward “smaller and more widespread.” Anchored in the technological and product revolution of miniaturization, cost-effectiveness, intelligent interaction, and mass adoption, High Torque is moving humanoid robots from lab-exclusive equipment into developers’ workspaces, school classrooms, and households everywhere.

Deepening Global Markets: Using the Canton Fair as a Lever to Build a Global Industrial Footprint

The Canton Fair is both a vital window for High Torque Robotics to go global and a core validation platform for its product strength and delivery capability. Since its first appearance in 2025, High Torque has continuously expanded into overseas markets and achieved rapid revenue growth, powered by its lightweight, high-performance small humanoids and its controllable, reliable, verifiable integrated joint modules.

High Torque’s overseas business and export partnerships now span North America, Europe, Japan and Korea, the Middle East, Latin America, and beyond. Behind this market breakthrough lies sustained international technical endorsement and mass-production delivery capability: on the technology-certification front, it has not only appeared on top academic stages such as ICRA and RSS, but also become an officially certified development platform for RoboCup — marking High Torque’s advancement from “technology participant” to “co-builder of industry standards,” with its international voice steadily rising. Its products already serve a diverse client base including world-leading research institutions such as Stanford, MIT, the University of Tokyo, UC Berkeley, ETH Zurich, and Sungkyunkwan University, as well as leading U.S. tech companies.

At the recently concluded World Humanoid Robot Games, highlight clips of High Torque’s robots spread widely across overseas social platforms. Its adorable appearance and the tenacious, charge-ahead spirit shown on the field earned a flood of overseas likes and discussion, with many international tech enthusiasts becoming fans of this Chinese mass-produced humanoid robot.

Empowering Autonomous Evolution: Opening a New Track for Consumer-Grade Humanoid Robots

The core of its global competitiveness is High Torque’s technological breakthrough in intelligent control. At the Canton Fair, High Torque’s live robot demonstrations showcased the capability of models to empower robot product innovation, covering multiple scenarios: gait and highly dynamic movements, autonomous ball-chasing and kicking, and robot dance performances.

Unlike mechanical performances driven by preset scripts, the robots adapt autonomously to unfamiliar environments like a child taking its first steps — this “native intelligence” is precisely the cornerstone of safety and trust for future home companion robots. Built on this technological foundation, High Torque will extend these capabilities down to consumer scenarios in the future, advancing the R&D and industrialization of household humanoid robots.

Distinct from products on the market that focus on housekeeping execution, High Torque’s planned consumer-grade robot takes native autonomous intelligence as its core focus, targeting the current pain points of weak practicality and poor extensibility. It prioritizes breakthroughs in two core capabilities: first, full-scenario autonomous ability — autonomous environmental perception, self-directed path navigation, and proactive human-robot interaction, freeing it from reliance on constant human commands; second, few-shot action learning — quickly replicating entirely new actions from visual demonstrations and autonomously acquiring new skills, breaking through the extensibility bottleneck of fixed skill libraries.

The consumer model will possess a complete behavioral logic of self-awareness, environment exploration, experience memory, and autonomous charging. Its movements iterate continuously from tentative to proficient, and it conveys emotion through gaze, body language, and sound effects — creating an “interactive, explorative, growing, and highly safe” family smart companion rather than a single-function tool, pushing humanoid robots from professional equipment into households worldwide.

Education Solutions: Making Embodied-Intelligence Education Accessible

Making robots widespread is also key infrastructure for cultivating embodied-intelligence talent. From campus adoption to nationwide adoption, High Torque treats the education scenario as a core track for the scaled deployment of humanoid robots. Leveraging the Canton Fair as an international platform, it is bringing its locally validated AI embodied-intelligence education solution to the global market, making embodied intelligence a sustainable, normalized course.

To address the challenges facing global embodied-intelligence education — “high teaching costs, incomplete curricula, insufficient faculty, and difficulty in scaled promotion” — High Torque centers on the Mini Pi Plus humanoid robot to build a multi-tiered teaching system covering early-childhood enlightenment, K-12 general education, vocational training, and university research. The solution is equipped with an intelligent programming and development system, open SDK, standardized development interfaces, full-stage curriculum resources, and a digital teaching platform, forming a software-hardware integrated AI embodied-intelligence education solution that effectively lowers the barrier for teachers to launch courses and promotes the normalization of AI embodied-intelligence teaching. It also covers teacher training, competition value-added services, and AI embodied-intelligence campus companion services, providing partners with full-process implementation support and helping AI embodied-intelligence education move from “pilot showcases” to “normalized classes.”

Upholding In-House Hardware R&D: Core Joint Modules Fortify the Product Foundation

At this Canton Fair, High Torque also previewed its new-generation integrated joint module series. Building on its already mass-produced planetary, ultra-thin, and hollow joint module products, it completed a comprehensive iterative upgrade following the R&D roadmap of compact size, high torque, high compatibility, and high stability.
