Raydiculous
Raydiculous is the name of the AI systems and humanoid robot brand of the Chengdu Humanoid Robot Innovation Center (CHRIC), which was set up on 12 April 2024 in the Tianfu New Area of Chengdu, Sichuan, under president Zhang Ruirui. CHRIC describes itself as the first humanoid robot research institution of its kind in central and western China and concentrates on the AI brain rather than hardware. In June 2024 it developed a humanoid task generation model using visual diffusion, and Raydiculous-1 is its reasoning, planning and execution system for long-horizon tasks. In October 2024 it launched Konka-1, a light single-arm wheeled humanoid, and in December 2024 it unveiled seven robots for the 2025 World Games in Chengdu, including Honghu, described as Chengdu's first home-grown humanoid. Its TangPa TP-01 is an 850 mm, 34 kg service robot with 16 degrees of freedom, a 19-inch display and autonomous outdoor navigation for tourism, retail and events. CHRIC has also set up a joint venture with PowerChina.
💡Notable Achievement: CHRIC, established on 12 April 2024, unveiled seven humanoids for the 2025 World Games in Chengdu and its TangPa TP-01 won a Bronze A' Design Award in 2026.
