On June 21, HighTorque Ecosystem Partner and renowned Bilibili content creator “Tongji Zihao”, along with Tian Wenbo, a graduate student from the Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences, led robots Mini Pi and Mini Hi to participate in the Alibaba Robotics Competition held at the company’s headquarters in Hangzhou to celebrate Olympic Day.

Despite the 30°C heat in Hangzhou, both Mini Pi and Mini Hi maintained stable operation throughout the entire event, demonstrating outstanding endurance and reliability.

The Hi-Pi Brothers competed in the 50-meter sprint, obstacle race, talent show, and soccer event, achieving remarkable results by winning the championship in the obstacle race and securing third place in the 50-meter straight sprint. Their performance powerfully demonstrates how technology can bring new possibilities and creative expression to sports.

For Mini Pi and Mini Hi, this is not their first time competing in sporting events. From the Yizhuang Marathon to the recent Olympic Day activities, and now the upcoming World Humanoid Robot Games, our robots have been constantly on the move — and constantly improving. With each appearance, they come closer to achieving higher, faster, and stronger performance.   "Zihao" noted: "Humanoid robots, being compact and agile, not only provide emotional value to humans but also hold broad commercial application potential." Our robots exemplify this vision — through a low-cost, high-value modular approach, they open new possibilities for integrating robotics into daily life.  

Human-Robot running together

The 50-meter track may be quickly run, but the journey of technological exploration never stops. In the future, our Hi-Pi Brothers will continue to showcase their capabilities across even more domains.
