Intro
Noetix Robotics is a Beijing-based technology company specializing in the research and manufacturing of humanoid robots. Founded in September 2023 by experts from Tsinghua University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the company focuses on general artificial intelligence ontology, robotic bionics, and embodied operating systems. Their robots combine lightweight bionic structural design with powerful perception and interaction capabilities, suitable for industrial collaboration, research, and education. A key achievement is the development of the N2 humanoid robot, which can perform continuous backflips, somersaults, run at speeds up to 3.2 m/s, and deliver up to 120 Nm peak torque, all at a competitive price point of around $6,200, making it one of the most affordable agile humanoid robots globally.
Robots
- N2 Humanoid Robot: A 1.3-meter tall, 20 kg agile robot with 18 degrees of freedom, capable of dynamic movements such as continuous backflips, somersaults, running, and dancing. It features 3D perception via dual depth cameras and edge computing for real-time decision-making without cloud dependency.
- Dora Humanoid Robot: A lightweight robot designed for household, research, and education, slower than N2 but with advanced perception using three depth cameras for enhanced environmental awareness.
- Hobbs Robotic Head: A hyper-realistic bionic robot head capable of replicating human facial expressions and real-time conversational interaction, adapting behavior based on human emotions.
Specialism
- Advanced bionic structural design for lightweight and flexible robot motion.
- High-performance actuators delivering up to 120 Nm torque for dynamic locomotion.
- Multi-depth camera systems enabling rich 3D perception and autonomous navigation.
- Edge computing integration for low-latency, real-time AI processing onboard the robot.
