Ti5 Robotics Yao Guang (Yao Guang)

A robot that stands 1.7 meters tall and weighs only 48 kg asks a fair question: how much strength can be packed into a frame this light? The Ti5 Robotics Yao Guang (Yao Guang) is a full-size humanoid with 44 degrees of freedom and leg joints that deliver up to 490 N·m. It is built for work that is too repetitive, too heavy or too risky for people.

The product is available through this page, by quotation.

Background

Humanoid robots have moved from exhibition stands toward factory floors, warehouses and university laboratories. Buyers in the Caribbean and elsewhere now ask practical questions about them. What can the machine lift? Where can it walk? Who stands behind it? The sections below set out what is known about the Yao Guang and where its makers come from.

The company behind the robot

Ti5 Robot is based in Shanghai and was founded in 2020. The company kept a highly active presence on the opening day of the Canton Fair.

Its focus explains a good deal about the robot. The company works on advanced electric actuators, joint modules, bionic hands, lightweight collaborative robots, exoskeletons and humanoid robots. A humanoid is, above all, a stack of joints that must carry its own weight, so a maker whose catalogue starts with actuators and joint modules approaches the problem from the right end.

Positioning of the Yao Guang

The Yao Guang pairs a lightweight construction with high-torque leg joints. That combination suits tasks that need significant lifting capability and maneuverability. Its 44 degrees of freedom enable agile movements and adaptability in dynamic environments.

The robot also carries a depth camera and an ultra-high-definition long-range lidar. These sensors help it operate in challenging terrain and hazardous environments. Its application fields are manufacturing, logistics and research.

Technical Specifications

Specifications as published by the manufacturer; confirmed against the datasheet at quotation.

The manufacturer has not published the battery capacity, the runtime, the walking speed, the operating temperature, the IP rating, the contents of the box, the software or SDK, the connectivity or the compute platform; they are confirmed at quotation.

What makes the Yao Guang different from a heavier humanoid?

The first difference is the balance between mass and strength. At 48 kg, the robot is light for its 1.7 meter height. In humanoid design, weight tends to feed on itself: a heavier body needs larger actuators, those need more power, and the added power adds weight again. A light frame that still delivers leg joint torque of up to 490 N·m works against that spiral. The robot has strength in reserve to move its own body and still perform useful tasks.

The second difference is joint count. With 44 degrees of freedom in total, the robot is built for varied, flexible motion rather than a narrow set of repeated gestures. More freedom of movement matters when a machine has to adapt to a workspace designed for people, with its stairs, shelves, benches and uneven floors.

The third is the maker's background. Ti5 Robot works on electric actuators and joint modules as products in their own right, alongside bionic hands, collaborative robots and exoskeletons. A company with that depth in joint technology brings it to a humanoid, which is a point worth discussing for long-term serviceability during the quotation.

How do the sensors support work in difficult places?

The Yao Guang combines a depth camera with an ultra-high-definition long-range lidar. A depth camera helps a robot judge the distance and shape of objects close to it, which matters for handling and for placing its feet. A long-range lidar gives it a wider picture of the space around it. Together they support operation in challenging terrain and hazardous environments.

Sensing is only one part of autonomy. How the robot processes data, which software it runs and how it connects to other systems decide how well the machine fits an existing workflow. We recommend raising these points early in your project discussions, so they can be confirmed at quotation.

Who is the Yao Guang for?

Manufacturers are the first segment. A humanoid in a factory can work among equipment and workstations built for people, without redesigning the line around a fixed machine. Its lifting capability suits material handling and similar tasks.

Logistics operators form the second. Warehouses and distribution centers are full of shelves, pallets and aisles sized for human workers. A robot of human height and with agile movement can operate in that space.

Universities, research institutes and technical training centers are the third. With 44 degrees of freedom and a sensor package that includes lidar and a depth camera, the Yao Guang gives teams a full-size platform for studying locomotion, perception and human-robot interaction.

Organizations that need to work in hazardous environments are the fourth. The robot is suited to challenging terrain, where sending a machine in place of a person is an attractive idea.

If you are still comparing options, you can look through the wider range in our Shop category. Our team can help you judge whether a full-size humanoid is the right choice or whether another robot would suit the task better.

What is the Yao Guang used for?

1. Manufacturing support. Handling and moving parts in settings laid out for human workers.
2. Logistics tasks. Working among shelves, pallets and goods in warehouses and distribution centers.
3. Research. Studying legged locomotion, whole-body control and perception on a full-size platform.
4. Lifting and carrying. Using strong leg joints for tasks that need significant lifting capability.
5. Operation in challenging terrain. Relying on lidar and depth sensing to move through difficult ground.
6. Work in hazardous environments. Taking on tasks where human presence carries risk.

Summary

A human-sized robot of just 48 kg only makes sense if the joints can deliver, and that is the point of the Yao Guang. It offers 44 degrees of freedom, leg joint torque of up to 490 N·m, and a depth camera with long-range lidar. It comes from a Shanghai company that builds actuators and joint modules as its core business. It is aimed at manufacturing, logistics and research, and at places where sending a machine is wiser than sending a person. If the Yao Guang fits your project, this page is the starting point.
