TLIBOT Y4
AI ChatLast updated:
TLIBOT Y4 is a fixed dual-arm composite robot from TLIBOT (Sichuan Tianlian Robot Co., Ltd.) in Mianyang: a humanoid upper body with two 5 kg arms mounted on a ground-fixed stand rather than a drive base. Folded down it measures 594 by 600 by 1445 mm and weighs up to 55 kg, its working height is 1100 mm and its work range is 653 mm. It can be bolted to the floor or set on universal wheels, is powered from a power control cabinet, and connects over Ethernet, with two network ports and three USB 3.0 ports. TLIBOT supports secondary development through ROS2 and an API. The robot ships without a main controller, so customers bring their own PC, recommended as an x86 machine with an Intel i5-1340P chip and at least 16 GB of memory. TLIBOT publishes an English specification and user manual, and the Y4 is the stationary, lowest-priced member of the company's composite-robot family.
