en.Wedoany.com Reported - Taiwan, China-based technology company TM Technology (formerly an integrated circuit design firm) has launched its first humanoid robot, becoming one of the local manufacturers dedicated to transforming artificial intelligence into physical operational equipment. The company stated that this robot is part of its transformation into an intelligent platform, with business expanded to areas such as construction, green energy, and smart manufacturing under the support of its parent company, Yinglin Group.
According to TM Technology, the robot integrates hardware, software, sensing, and motion control systems, designed for scenarios that require understanding the environment, planning actions, and handling objects, rather than repeating fixed processes. The company defines this robot as an embodied AI system—a machine that combines artificial intelligence with physical action. As reported by Taiwan News, the robot utilizes AI, manufacturing technology, bionic engineering, and sensing technology to operate even when environmental conditions change during operation.
The system adopts a layered architecture that mimics parts of the human nervous system. Its AI "brain" is responsible for semantic understanding, reasoning, task planning, and decision-making, while an independent "cerebellum" subsystem manages balance, posture, movement, and coordinated actions. The perception system combines 3D vision, LiDAR, and force sensing, enabling the robot to map its environment, identify obstacles, and respond to contact. The company stated that the robot can utilize this information in real time. Its joints provide multiple degrees of freedom, and the manipulator can grasp and operate objects. TM Technology indicated that the robot can be used for operations requiring movement, judgment, and perception, such as transportation, inspection, and assembly.
The company positions this launch as part of its shift from traditional hardware manufacturing to integrated intelligent systems. Initial deployments are expected in factories and logistics sites, where the robot can support repetitive or labor-intensive tasks. Subsequent applications may include healthcare, nursing, and home services, but these markets still require more testing, reliability, and safety work before widespread deployment.
Meanwhile, another Taiwan, China-based robotics company, Techman Robot, showcased the TM Xplore I humanoid system at the Nvidia GTC 2026 conference in San Jose. This robot, developed in collaboration with QCT and Nvidia technology, adopts a different design approach by mounting a humanoid upper body on a wheeled mobile base, aiming to improve stability and reduce mechanical complexity in factory environments. The robot features autonomous navigation and dexterous manipulation capabilities, enabling it to transport materials and perform precision tasks in areas such as semiconductor manufacturing, electronic assembly, and automotive production. The system uses the Nvidia Jetson Thor computing module for edge AI processing and employs vision-language-action technology to process visual and language inputs and convert them into physical actions. Techman has integrated the robot into Nvidia's robotics software ecosystem, including Isaac Sim for simulation training and testing, FoundationStereo for depth perception, and Isaac GR00T for dexterity and autonomy. These two launches indicate that Taiwan, China's robotics industry is transitioning from traditional automation to systems that integrate perception, AI, and physical operation.
