Tianzhen Z1 (天真 Z1)

Tianzhen Z1 had its world premiere at WAIC 2026 in Shanghai; a press release of 22 July 2026 presents it as a new humanoid from Sichuan Tianlian, trading as Tlibot. The robot stands 1.67 m and offers up to 40 degrees of freedom without dexterous hands; the maker highlights the ability to perform a split as evidence of hip and leg range.

Z1 is positioned as a full-size humanoid with a bionic, customisable appearance for guiding visitors at exhibitions and events and for commercial interaction with customers. Weight, payload, runtime, sensors and computer are not stated; the Tlibot website has no product page for the model yet, and the company speaks of letters of intent, which puts the status at pilot.

The bipedal layout follows from the description as a full-size humanoid and is marked as uncertain in the catalogue. Alongside Z1 the company showed the smaller Tianling L3 at 1.38 m for research and education. Price on request. The same maker already sells the research humanoid TLIBOT T1 with a published specification, which gives an idea of the data to expect once Z1 reaches the product list.
