DexBot
DexBot is an industrial humanoid robot platform featuring hybrid bipedal and track-legged locomotion configurations, developed in Harbin, China by BOSHIAC (Harbin Boshi Automation Co., Ltd.) in partnership with Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT). The bipedal configuration stands 175 cm tall and weighs 58 kg (up to 80 kg in heavy wheeled/tracked form), powered by 28 body joints and dual 7-axis arms supporting a 15 kg continuous payload. Each hand features 15–20 degrees of freedom for high-dexterity tool and component handling. Controlled via HIT's Huazi-Rixin multimodal AI model, DexBot performs autonomous task decomposition and force-compliant manipulation tailored for hazardous industrial environments, petrochemical plants, and advanced automation research.
