AI ChatLast updated:
Tianling L3 is a compact bipedal humanoid from TLIBOT (Sichuan Tianlian Robot Co., Ltd.) in Mianyang, shown alongside the larger Tianzhen Z1 at the 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai. It stands 138 cm tall and weighs about 38 kg with its battery (without the optional skin), with up to 30 degrees of freedom: six in each leg, seven in each arm, one in the neck and one in the waist, with an optional three-degree-of-freedom waist and optional dexterous hands of six, ten or fifteen degrees of freedom per hand. Peak torque is 145 N·m at the hip and knee and 60 N·m at the ankle, the waist rotates 160 degrees either way, each arm carries 4 kg and the robot travels at up to 2 m/s. A quick-release 612 Wh battery powers it. An RK3588 processor is standard, an NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin 64G is the high-performance option, and it runs Ubuntu 22.04 with MuJoCo and Isaac Gym simulation support. Depth and RGB cameras, a LiDAR, a four-microphone array, tactile hand sensors and an IMU provide perception, and the cabling is fully concealed. TLIBOT supplies RS485 documentation, control software and simulation models for developers.
