Description
Xiao Tuo is a humanoid robot developed by TOPSTAR, a major Chinese robotics and industrial automation company. Designed as a versatile research and industrial-support platform, Xiao Tuo focuses on practical mobility and hands-on interaction with physical environments. The robot has a friendly, compact humanoid appearance, making it suitable for educational demonstrations, robotics R&D, and early-stage human-robot collaboration scenarios.
While still in its early deployment phase, Xiao Tuo represents TOPSTAR’s ambition to move from factory automation toward next-generation humanoid robotics. It is engineered to carry out basic manipulation tasks and navigate indoor spaces with stability. Rather than aiming for high athletic performance, the robot prioritizes functional reliability and precise control, allowing it to handle routine service, demonstration, and light industrial tasks.
