Most people have already heard about Tiangong Omni but many still don’t know what this small humanoid can actually do. Here’s what you should know. Tiangong Omni was built by the Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Center, also known as X-Humanoid. The flagship version stands 1.35 m tall and weighs 39.5 kg. It has 31 active DoF, with 6 joints per leg, 7 per arm, 3 in the waist and 2 in the neck. Inside is an AI computer rated at 2,070 TFLOPS. Its sensor stack includes a depth camera LiDAR and a high-precision IMU. It can walk run climb stairs, cross sparse footholds handle uneven terrain recover after falls and perform mobile manipulation. The footage here shows some of those abilities under much harder conditions. At the 2026 World Humanoid Robot Games Tiangong Omni completed a 400 m obstacle course containing 16 different obstacles and won gold in 4:11.44. It also won the small-size 400 m race in 45.66 seconds. The locomotion system used in the obstacle competition came from the SOLO research project. The policy runs at 50 Hz with one chest-mounted depth camera and proprioception, controlling 25 joints without external localization or motion capture. SOLO also completed a continuous 1.5 km outdoor route across stairs, slopes, grass and uneven ground What caught my attention in this clip is the recovery. Omni can hit the ground, reorganize its body, stand back up and continue toward the next obstacle. That ability becomes very useful once humanoids leave flat lab floors
