On August 19, the 2026 World Robot Conference (WRC) opened at the Beiren Yichuang International Convention and Exhibition Center in Yizhuang, Beijing. As one of China’s most prestigious industry events for robotics, WRC features the latest technological advances and product achievements in humanoid robots and embodied intelligence. HighTorque Robotics made a high‑profile appearance with its complete product lineup, building an immersive exhibition booth designed for viewing, hands‑on experience and development. It intuitively demonstrates the engineering capabilities and industrial application value of small‑sized humanoid robots for industry insiders and the general public alike.



► Full‑range Product Lineup: From Individual Joint Actuators to Complete Robot Platforms, Forging Differentiated Competitive Advantages

Core components form the "lifeline" of the humanoid robot industry and represent key bottlenecks for domestic substitution. HighTorque Robotics delves deep into full‑stack embodied intelligence technologies, covering robot R&D, integrated joint motor modules and motion‑control algorithms. It is among the few domestic enterprises that achieve in‑house R&D and production of both robot components and complete robot bodies. Such technical expertise has materialized into a comprehensive portfolio of tangible, hands‑on products on display at the exhibition.

The Mini‑Pi series stands as the world’s first mass‑produced compact bipedal robot. Boasting powerful engineering performance in a compact form factor, it serves as an ideal development platform for education and robotics competitions. Taking a step further, the Mini‑Pi Plus humanoid platform delivers a fully open‑source full‑body control algorithm framework for imitation and reinforcement learning, supporting highly consistent migration from simulation to real‑world deployment.

HighTorque’s self‑developed integrated joint modules deliver high burst power and dynamic speed. Supporting multiple communication protocols including CAN‑FD, CAN and RS‑485, these modules have achieved stable mass production at industry‑leading standards. The Panthera‑HT six‑axis robotic arm balances light weight and stability, compatible with various simulation platforms, and has become a preferred choice for domestic robotics hackathons.



Products on display at HighTorque’s booth

Making its debut, the OpenArm series features high torque, heavy payload and high‑precision repeat positioning. It reliably handles diverse tasks such as training demonstrations, precision grasping and collaborative operations. Equipped with a lightweight fully‑open‑source SDK, it is compatible with mainstream frameworks and enables rapid secondary development and algorithm migration. It significantly lowers technical barriers, making it well‑suited for bulk educational procurement, regular data collection and commercial deployment in industrial scenarios.



► Immersive Booth: For Viewing, Hands‑on Experience and Development

While the product portfolio showcases technical strength, interactive exhibits bring technology to life. The booth features functional zones for interaction, demonstrations and photo opportunities, comprehensively showcasing the robust performance of robots and robotic arms in motion control, intelligent interaction and precision manipulation.

At the football interaction zone, two teams of red‑and‑blue Mini‑Pi robots compete on a miniature pitch. Visitors can take manual control, commanding the robots to perform sophisticated maneuvers such as dribbling and shooting. Scheduled robot dance shows also highlight the robots’ fluid, rhythmic movements beyond raw technical performance.

The six‑axis robotic arms run demonstrations throughout the day. Using visual recognition, they grasp objects and accurately hand out branded souvenirs to visitors.



Brand‑new product debuts include dynamic demonstrations of the OpenArm dual‑arm robot and wheel‑arm robot, showcasing core capabilities such as VR teleoperation, bimanual collaborative manipulation and flexible mobile operation.

► Full‑scenario Solution Deployment Accelerates Technology toward Industrial Adoption

Built upon solid technology, HighTorque develops real‑world‑oriented solutions and development platforms. Leveraging its full‑stack in‑house‑developed technology foundation and modular product architecture, HighTorque Robotics has built a solution ecosystem covering K‑12 and higher education & research, commercial performances and cultural‑tourism tech exhibitions. It enables humanoid robots to evolve from technical exhibits and research‑grade equipment into routine teaching tools, commercial service carriers and cultural communication terminals. This realizes replicable industrial implementation of technical achievements across diverse scenarios.

In education, HighTorque builds a full‑stage teaching system spanning early‑childhood STEM enlightenment, K‑12 general education, vocational college practical training and university‑level scientific research. Using humanoid robots as hands‑on hardware, it turns abstract STEM knowledge into tangible practice. Paired with open‑source platforms and curriculum resources, its solutions cater to school practical training, academic research and robotics competitions, supporting the cultivation of science‑and‑technology talent.

In commercial and consumer sectors, HighTorque robots support custom IP skins and performance programming. With flexible locomotion and intelligent interaction capabilities, they have appeared at events including the Weibo Night Gala and the Marché du Film at the Cannes Film Festival. Cultural‑themed robot cases such as the Awakening Lion and Big‑Bay Rooster have been realized, delivering new digital vehicles for exhibition displays, brand marketing and cultural‑tourism revitalization.

HighTorque Robotics will continue to invest in full‑stack proprietary technologies. Upholding an open and win‑win ecosystem philosophy, it helps humanoid robots transition from an industry buzzword to industrial reality, empowering the transformation and upgrading of countless industries.

The WRC event is still ongoing. You are warmly invited to visit our booth and witness our innovations on site.
