Gento Skye
AI ChatLast updated:
Gento Skye is a wheeled humanoid robot from Gento Robotics, the humanoid brand of TianJi Intelligent, a long-time maker of industrial robots and force-controlled robot arms. It is a development platform for teams working on embodied AI and reinforcement learning, giving them a stable physical robot to train and test on in the real world. Skye has a humanlike upper body on a lifting column, set on a four-wheel-drive, four-wheel-steer base that moves in any direction. The column travels 900 mm, so the robot can work anywhere from floor level to 2 m high. Its two Marvin M6 arms have 7 degrees of freedom each and are force-controlled at every joint, and each arm carries a rated 6 kg. Whole-body force and impedance control lets Skye sense contact and relieve force on its own, which protects the robot, nearby people and the equipment around it. Low-level motion control and planning come ready to use on a dedicated x86 controller, while an NVIDIA Jetson Orin handles perception and reasoning, so developers can go straight to their own models. It records joint position, velocity, torque and end-effector forces in sync with cameras and tactile sensors, and it is designed for round-the-clock operation.

Gento Luna
Manufactured by Gento Robotics
Gento Luna is a wheeled, folding humanoid robot from Gento Robotics, the robot brand of Guangdong TianJi Intelligence System in Dongguan, a long-time maker of industrial robots and force-controlled robot arms. Luna combines a humanlike upper body with 26 degrees of freedom (not counting its hands) and an omnidirectional four-wheel-drive, four-wheel-steer base that can spin on the spot and slide sideways through narrow corridors. Standing 1.72 m tall, it folds down to 79 cm so it fits in a lift or a storage corner. Its two 7-DoF arms are force-controlled at every joint, giving whole-body compliant control that lets the robot yield on contact and move smoothly around people; each arm lifts up to 5 kg, with longer-reach options. An NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin 64GB computer, ROS 2 support and a complete SDK make it an open platform for universities and labs, while 3D LiDAR, ultrasonic sensors and RGB-D cameras let it map rooms, avoid obstacles and plan its own paths. Expressive lighting, a microphone array and stereo speakers suit it to home help, reception and guided tours, as well as industrial inspection and equipment maintenance.
