HighTorque Robotics Collaborates with With CCTV: Robots Reach Daliangshan Schools
livelybot | 2025.10.11
From September 28 to 29, the "Wushu in Campus, Aesthetic Education for Growth" activity initiated by CCTV Children's New Media Department was carried out in Xide County, Liangshan Prefecture, Sichuan Province. High Torque Robotics, in collaboration with CCTV Children's New Media, brought three robots — "Mini Pi", "Pi+", and "Mini Hi" — across thousands of miles to five elementary schools in Xide County, Liangshan Prefecture, making cutting-edge technology accessible classroom companions for the children.
The event was hosted by CCTV Children's host Duolaimi, with Wushu coach Liu Shuhua serving as the instructor. High Torque's robots were tasked with demonstrating Wushu movements and promoting scientific knowledge, providing local students with an aesthetic education experience that blended technology and Wushu.

From demonstrations to interactions, the robots serve as "classroom assistants."

To meet the instructional requirements of the "Rising Sun" Wushu exercise, High Torque's technical team developed a customized Wushu movement library for the Pi+ based on its self-developed motion control algorithms.
Equipped with high-precision joint modules and 22 degrees of freedom (DoF), the Pi+ can smoothly perform a range of Wushu movements such as the fist-salute, horse stance, and straight punch.

The Pi+ practices Wushu exercises together with students.

On the playground of a Xide County elementary school, the Pi+ executed Wushu movements in sync with the coach's commands. This combined model of "robot demonstration + coach instruction" not only diversified the teaching format but also demonstrated High Torque robots' high adaptability and technical reliability in educational settings.

The Pi+ and Liu Shuhua jointly demonstrated movements from the Wushu exercise.

It is worth mentioning that the Hi-Pi Brothers are equipped with a BMS battery system, enabling sustained operation even in complex environments to meet prolonged teaching needs. The lightweight design and modular structure also facilitate transportation and deployment, ensuring the smooth execution of the event.

Mini Hi joyfully interacts with the students.

From Interaction to Enlightenment: Robots Serve as "Science Education Assistants"

During the science education interaction session, High Torque staff explained the structure and movement principles of humanoid robots in child-friendly terms. After brief guidance, students were able to independently operate the robots to execute commands such as moving forward and turning, experiencing the appeal of technology through hands-on practice.

Students excitedly gather around Mini Pi.

From initially gathering around and curiously touching to eventually operating the robots themselves, this close-range interactive experience made the once distant world of technology tangible and accessible — planting a seed of scientific exploration in the students' hearts.

When Technology Meets Wushu: Sparks Fly On Stage

The core event and key achievement of this assistance initiative was the Wushu exercise demonstration held on September 29, where the teaching outcomes from the day-and-a-half program were formally evaluated.
Students stood in neat rows and took the stage together with the Pi+, jointly performing the "Rising Sun" Wushu exercise. With its stable and fluid movements, the Pi+ added a touch of technological brilliance to the demonstration.

Through this initiative in Xide County, High Torque Robotics has not only validated the practical application of humanoid robots in rural educational settings but has also pioneered an innovative "technology + aesthetic education" model. Moving forward, High Torque Robotics will continue to expand the presence of humanoid robots in scenarios such as education, companionship, and service — ensuring that technology can genuinely serve human growth and development.
