Knewbots, a subsidiary of ThunderSoft, and a Beijing humanoid robot centre have jointly unveiled a platform that runs humanoid robots, autonomous forklifts and mobile robots as one system, Gasgoo reported on 10 November. They showed it at the CeMAT ASIA 2026 logistics fair.

The platform joins the centre's Huisikaiwu general robot AI platform, which offers an embodied AI model, vision-language-action models for different robot forms and whole-body motion control, with an industrial platform for real-time control and task scheduling across many robots.

In the demonstration, the centre's Tianyi humanoids assembled valve cores and picked up screws, a forklift-style robot moved heavy pallets, and a low mobile robot carried shelves and containers between the warehouse and workstations.

The partners, who began working together in January, plan to supply robot fleets to car factories, makers of advanced equipment and smart factories. Long-term performance, cost and fit with existing automation still have to be proven in factories.
