TM Xplore 1

Techman Robot's TM Xplore I represents Taiwan's first humanoid robot, unveiled at the Taipei Automation Intelligence and Robot Show by this Quanta Computer subsidiary known for collaborative robotic arms. The robot combines a human-like upper body with a wheeled base, prioritizing stability and efficiency over bipedal locomotion for factory and warehouse environments.

The upper body features more than 22 articulated joints enabling fluid, human-like manipulation for complex tasks. Built on the NVIDIA Jetson Orin platform, TM Xplore I integrates advanced AI inference and edge computing for real-time sensing and decision-making. Its vision capabilities are powered by NVIDIA's Isaac GR00T foundation model, enhanced with Techman's proprietary AI-driven vision systems that enable the robot to 'see, act, and learn.'

Demonstrations showcased a quick-change end-effector system, integrated inspection cameras, and SCHUNK precision grippers. The humanoid is specifically optimized for high-mix, high-precision production lines in semiconductor, electronics, and automotive manufacturing, handling inspection, loading/unloading, and warehouse logistics tasks.

The AI is a vision-language-action (VLA) model that learns from human demonstrations, simulated environments, and synthetic data. Operators control the robot through teleoperation while it learns assembly, sorting, and precision manipulation. Techman plans to scale production in the second half of 2026 after testing in its own factories. While pricing isn't revealed, Techman's cobots typically cost $20,000-$30,000, suggesting competitive positioning for industrial applications.
