The National and Local Co-built Embodied Artificial Intelligence Robotics Innovation Center on Monday launched the open-source initiative for "Tiangong", the world's first full-size purely electric-driven humanoid robot.

This decision is anticipated to promote the secondary development of humanoid robots and expedite their integration into everyday human life.

As a key platform driving breakthroughs in intelligent technology and industrial collaboration, the innovation center is currently accelerating advancements in the "Tiangong" humanoid robot, a domestically-developed platform. Additionally, it is focusing on the development of the whole-body collaborative intelligent cerebellum platform and the multifunctional intelligent body platform, "Kaiwu."

"Tiangong" boasts an average speed of 10 kilometers per hour and can reach a top speed of 12 kilometers per hour, setting a benchmark in its class. It is capable of navigating various terrains with ease, including slopes, stairs, grass, gravel, and sand.

Following the official launch of the open-source initiative for Tiangong, the innovation center will collaborate with universities, research institutes, integrators, and other organizations worldwide that possess secondary development capabilities in humanoid robotics. Together, they aim to create the most influential intelligent open-source community.

Russian forces attacked Ukraine's energy infrastructure overnight on Saturday, for the second time in less than a week, Ukraine's Energy Minister Denys Shmyhal said.

The strikes targeted the Burshtyn and Dobrotvir thermal power plants in western Ukraine, as well as substations and overhead transmission lines, the minister said.

He further said personnel unloaded units at nuclear power plants as a precautionary measure.

Ukraine's state-run energy company Ukrenergo has requested emergency assistance from Poland in the wake of the attack, Shmyhal added, while the company said it has imposed emergency power outages across most of the country.

The previous attack on Ukraine's energy facilities was carried out on Tuesday.
