Developer behind an 8.64-second humanoid sprint appoints UK distributor for its TianGong and Tianyi ranges

EDINBURGH, 12 October 2026 - The Robot Group, an authorised UK distributor for X-HUMANOID, is inviting expressions of interest from UK businesses and research organisations exploring the company's TianGong and Tianyi humanoid robots.

The announcement gives prospective customers a UK commercial contact to discuss applications and develop potential projects with X-HUMANOID. TRG will focus on opportunities in areas including manufacturing, logistics, hospitality and infrastructure, helping organisations establish their requirements and assess suitable platforms.

X-HUMANOID, also known as the Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Center, recently attracted international attention when its TianGong Ultra recorded an 8.64-second 100-metre sprint at the World Humanoid Robot Games. The UK relationship covers the company's TianGong and Tianyi product ranges, with configurations selected around each customer's intended application.

Paul Murphy of The Robot Group said:

"An effective evaluation starts with a specific task and a clear measure of success. We will help UK organisations define what they need a robot to do, then work with X-HUMANOID to establish how that capability can be demonstrated.

"Our focus is on giving businesses a practical route to explore these platforms and make informed decisions about their potential use."

Delivery dates will be confirmed for each model and configuration, subject to completion of applicable conformity requirements.

UK organisations can discuss applications and assess business suitability with The Robot Group at therobotgroup.co.uk
