On January 29, Beijing's first pilot-scale test platform for humanoid robots was launched in Beijing E-Town, with 1,000 robots rolling off the production line.

The platform is part of Beijing Innovation Center of Humanoid Robotics (X-humanoid). A full set of production lines has been established across the five floors of the platform's building. On the first floor, there is a smart warehouse storing all the parts needed to assemble robots. Each robot consists of over 1,000 parts, with each part having a unique "ID card" designed for full-process traceability. Moreover, the operations and maintenance of the industry chain are fully digitalized.

After being inspected and released from the warehouse, the parts are then sent to the production workshop on the third floor. There, robots carry material boxes to designated workplaces where engineers work together to install robots' torsos and limbs. After that, each part of the robot will be tested for one to three hours to ensure that all parts are in the best condition possible.

Following full assembly, these humanoid robots must undergo a final test — a two-hour endurance test. Only by passing it can they complete production verification.

The pilot-scale test platform is also equipped with a production line for robots' joints. This is a flexible production line featuring high precision and high stability, aimed at meeting various production demands of different joint types. At the same time, the platform also provides universities, research institutes and start-ups with a small-batch trial production line, which undertakes the tasks of prototyping, assembly and verification of robots and their key features.
