Robot Brief

Mini π is a high-performance bipedal humanoid robot developed by High Torque Robotics, designed for advanced robotics research and development. Standing 590 mm tall and weighing only 7 kg (including battery), Mini π offers a compact and lightweight platform that is easy to handle and transport, even with one hand. Despite its small size, it supports a payload capacity of 5 kg and can move at speeds up to 1.5 m/s, making it suitable for dynamic locomotion experiments and applications. The robot features 12 degrees of freedom (DOF), providing sufficient articulation for bipedal walking and manipulation tasks. Its sleek black and white design with a metallic shell gives it a modern, technological aesthetic. Mini π operates at 24V and is optimized for developers seeking a versatile, agile humanoid platform for robotics innovation.

Use Cases

Mini π performs dynamic bipedal locomotion with stable walking and running capabilities. It can carry loads up to 5 kg while maintaining balance and speed, making it ideal for research in humanoid mobility, control algorithms, and robotic manipulation. The robot’s compact size and lightweight design facilitate easy handling and rapid prototyping, enabling developers to test and refine bipedal robotics technologies efficiently.
