Fengxing-001 (风行-001)

Fengxing-001 has an unusual parent: the Chinese state aerospace conglomerate AVIC built it and showed it at WRC 2026 in Beijing in August 2026. The only verified source is a trade report of 21 August 2026 that relays AVIC's statements; the company itself has published no datasheet. On that basis the bipedal robot is 1.8 m tall and weighs 80 kg.

Instead of purely electric joints it uses an electro-hydraulic hybrid drive with compact motors derived from aero-engine technology and power-by-wire control. It walks while carrying 20 kg, handles 15 kg in its hands, jogs at 3 km/h, or 0.83 m/s, and jumps 30 cm. Development has been under way since 2024.

AVIC names aviation manufacturing, aircraft maintenance, munitions loading and simulated aircraft operation as the intended uses. Degrees of freedom, sensors, computer, runtime and price are not given; pricing is on request and the status is prototype.

Hydraulic actuation in a humanoid recalls the historic Atlas, which Boston Dynamics retired in 2024 in favour of an electric design, so AVIC is reviving an approach others have left behind.
