Tianji Humanoid Arm Secures Strategic Order from Zhongke Huiling, Enabling the Practical Deployment of Humanoid Robots Through High Precision and Stability
Partnership
Rather than stacking complex features onto robots, we choose to return to the essence. Tendo Intelligent firmly believes that true breakthroughs begin with the relentless refinement of fundamental performance.
On September 22, 2025, Guangdong Tendo Intelligent Systems Co., Ltd. officially entered into a strategic partnership with Beijing CASIA Spirit AI Robot Technology Co., Ltd., and completed the first delivery of Tendo Marvin humanoid arms to CASIA Spirit.
This partnership focuses on the deep deployment and real-world application of 7-axis humanoid robotic arms in industrial scenarios, marking a significant market breakthrough in Tendo Intelligent’s strategic positioning within the humanoid robotic arm sector.
Why Does the Tendo Humanoid Arm Stand Out?
“We have evaluated multiple mainstream brands and proprietary in-house solutions. Ultimately, we unanimously concluded that the Tendo Marvin excels in both mechanical structural design and overall performance.”
Following a comprehensive evaluation of various options, CASIA Spirit ultimately selected the Tendo Marvin Humanoid Arm.
Indeed, Tendo Intelligent has always maintained that the true essence of humanoid robots lies in a return to “motion capability.” The Tendo Marvin humanoid arm features an anthropomorphic 7-DoF configuration with a payload-to-weight ratio exceeding 0.3 and a repeatability of ±0.05 mm. It achieves an ultra-lightweight design while maintaining industrial-grade performance. This breakthrough enables the arm to demonstrate near-human flexibility and ultra-high repeatability in complex motion planning, positioning it as a perfect replacement for traditional collaborative robots in diverse industrial scenarios that demand stringent trajectory compliance and precision.
Not Force-Controlled for the Sake of Force Control: Focusing on Real-World Application Demands
Amid the industry-wide buzz surrounding “force control,” Tendo Intelligent’s delivery of a non-force-controlled version of the humanoid arm stems from deep insights into actual market demands. Not every scenario requires compliant contact. In a vast array of rigid tasks—such as material handling, trajectory-based operations, and high-precision positioning—absolute accuracy is far more critical than tactile perception. By introducing this configuration, Tendo Intelligent aims to strip away technological redundancy, delivering a higher cost-performance ratio and superior ROI for well-defined, mature industrial applications.
The Marvin humanoid arms delivered this time do not integrate force control modules, a precise configuration tailored specifically to the client’s current industrial requirements. Tendo Intelligent upholds the principle of “Scenarios Define Technology” —no over-engineering, no feature stacking, with everything centered on maximizing the client’s actual operational efficiency.
CASIA Spirit noted that while the current phase prioritizes grasping, material handling, and trajectory tasks, future expansions into service or domestic environments—where human-robot interaction is essential—can be seamlessly upgraded with force control capabilities on the existing arm platform. This enables a smooth evolution where “the arm adapts on demand.”
Stability is Paramount: Extended Operation Without Overheating
In industrial settings, the sustained stability of equipment directly impacts production line cadence and yield rates. During acceptance testing and trial runs, CASIA Spirit specifically highlighted: “The Marvin humanoid arm exhibited zero overheating issues, a rare and commendable achievement among comparable products.”
Tendo Intelligent employs systematic thermal management and rigidity optimization across both the joint modules and the overall arm structure. While achieving a lightweight design, this ensures the humanoid arm maintains consistent, stable output under prolonged, high-load operation, providing clients with a truly reliable foundation for automation.

Moving Forward Together: Co-Creating a New Ecosystem for Humanoid Arm Applications
This partnership marks not only a significant milestone in Tendo Intelligent’s commercialization of humanoid robotic arms but also further validates the correctness of a technical roadmap rooted in “Precision First, Scenario-Driven” development.
Looking ahead, Tendo Intelligent will continue to deepen its commitment to cutting-edge anthropomorphic robotic arm technologies. We will work hand-in-hand with industry partners to advance the real-world deployment of AGI, delivering more advanced and reliable “China Solutions” for the global humanoid robotics landscape.
