Xiao Tuo (小拓)

Xiao Tuo is a wheeled humanoid that the Dongguan industrial-automation group TOPSTAR presented on 12 September 2025 at its Global Open Day. It was built for injection-moulding workshops, the industry TOPSTAR has supplied with machinery since 2007: the robot loads moulded parts onto trays and checks them for defects in real time.

Perception relies on 3D cameras and AI vision inspection, and the embodied-AI model was developed together with Zhipu. Figures published in July and September 2026 give 21 degrees of freedom without a dexterous hand, up to 10 kg per arm and repeatability of ±0.05 mm; the quoted self-weight of 15 kg probably refers to the upper body with arms, since a total weight is not stated. Height is not published either.

TOPSTAR reports successful validation in injection-moulding workshops and preparations for series production, which puts the status at pilot; the price is on request. For comparison, Cruzr Y1 also tends injection-moulding machines but comes from a robot maker rather than a machinery maker, which means a different service and integration path for plastics processors.
