World’s First Explosion-Proof Humanoid Robot: Tenkui-1

Tenchuang Robotics has unveiled the Tenkui-1, the world’s first explosion-proof humanoid robot, marking a historic breakthrough in the robotics industry. This announcement heralds a new era for industrial and energy sectors, providing reliable, unmanned solutions for high-load operations in hazardous environments. As a robotics and AI-focused tech company serving the energy and municipal sectors, Tenchuang Robotics has pioneered advanced robotic technologies to tackle complex industrial challenges.

Certified at the highest IIC T6 explosion-proof standard, Tenkui-1 is designed for direct operations in hazardous industrial settings. Unlike lightweight humanoid robots for consumer applications, Tenkui-1 adopts a robust modular design with a dual-arm configuration and a high-load mobile platform, tailored for industrial complexity. Its four-wheel eight-drive explosion-proof system ensures long endurance, multi-terrain adaptability, and sensor-fusion navigation, enabling the robot to navigate over 90% of industrial and energy-sector terrains with precision.

Advanced Features for Comprehensive Industrial Operations

Tenchuang Robotics has engineered the Tenkui-1 to tackle the intricacies of industrial operations. Its humanoid design incorporates dual arms for task versatility, equipped with high-stiffness integrated joints capable of handling 25kg loads and performing high-torque operations. A folding waist mechanism allows the arms to extend vertically, reaching up to 3 meters for high-altitude tasks. Integrated with large AI models, the dual arms perform object recognition, planning, and placement with 0.1Nm precision using adaptive force-control algorithms.

The robot also features quick-swap modular end-effectors, including 14 specialized tools capable of performing tasks like valve rotations, drilling, and precision assembly. The Tenkui-1’s multi-sensor radar system and high-computation core chip provide autonomous navigation with millimeter-level precision, while remote control enables seamless teleoperation. Operators can use haptic-feedback joysticks to control the robot for precise tasks in remote hazardous environments, recording operational data for continuous training of AI models.

Tenchuang Robotics leverages a combined approach of teleoperation and pre-trained tasks. For well-defined scenarios like switch closures or valve adjustments, pre-trained models allow one-click execution, accelerating task completion while collecting data to train future autonomous capabilities. This iterative learning approach paves the way for embodied intelligence, transforming robots into highly adaptive, autonomous systems.

From Industry to Ubiquity: Forging the Path to Unmanned Operations

The Tenkui-1 is designed to revolutionize hazardous industrial operations. It can perform tasks in electrical substations, offshore wind power stations, coal plants, and nuclear facilities, reducing human exposure to risks. In petrochemical environments, it handles valve operations and motor activations, ensuring safety in explosive atmospheres. In emergency scenarios like bomb disposal and structural demolition, its teleoperation capabilities make it a life-saving tool.

Tenchuang Robotics is committed to “advancing robotic intelligence into unmanned frontiers.” By focusing on hazardous industrial scenarios and gradually expanding to generalized applications, the company aims to harmonize hardware and software innovation, driving synergistic growth between humanoid robots, embodied intelligence, and large AI models. With every task, the Tenkui-1 collects data to refine algorithms and enhance its autonomous capabilities, accelerating the deployment of intelligent, unmanned operations.
