Description
Star is a full-size bipedal humanoid robot from Topstar, an industrial automation company based in Dongguan, China. The company unveiled it at its TOPS DAY event in November 2026. Before Star, Topstar showed Xiao Tuo, a wheeled humanoid built for factory work. Star takes a different path, however. It walks on two legs and stands at roughly human height.
Topstar has spent nearly two decades building industrial robots, injection molding machines and automation lines. As a result, the company knows factory floors well. Star draws on that experience. Its designers focused on capable arms and stable walking rather than show-style tricks. In addition, the robot has seven-axis arms with cross-axis wrists, which give its hands a wide working range.

The main goal for Star is industrial work. Topstar wants the robot to load parts, move materials and tend machines. Moreover, legs let it reach places that wheeled robots struggle with, such as steps or narrow aisles. Topstar will likely test Star in its own plants and with existing customers first.

My mission, together with the team, is to help your organization understand the landscape, compare solutions, and move toward successful robot deployments.
For now, Star remains a prototype. Topstar has not announced a price or a delivery date yet. Still, the launch shows how Chinese automation firms are moving into humanoid robotics. Topstar already supplies automation equipment to a large base of manufacturers. Therefore, it has a ready path to bring Star onto real production lines once the robot matures.
