Each arm weighs 15 kg and carries 10 kg, a payload-to-weight ratio of 0.67 (Topstar contrasts this with a typical 0.2-0.3), with ±0.05 mm repeatability. Topstar's catalog lists the TWH020 wheeled humanoid, the TDM020 dual-arm humanoid and the TM010 humanoid arm."]},{"h":"Software and AI","p":["The brain is an industrial embodied AI model developed on the Matrix Zhituo platform with the Greater Bay Area industrial software center and Zhipu AI; the cerebellum, or execution layer, is Topstar's X5 control platform. Topstar uses its own servo drives and end-effector vibration suppression, and feeds field data from customer sites back into model training."]},{"h":"Use cases and deployments","p":["The robot works at the back end of injection-molding lines, sorting, inspecting and traying parts such as drone propeller blades without human help. At CHINAPLAS 2026 Topstar showed a line combining electric injection molding machines, automated inspection and the humanoid, which it says cut line labor costs by 60%, with one person overseeing 5-10 machines. In May 2026 the development team received China's National Workers' Pioneer award."]},{"h":"Manufacturer","p":["Guangdong Topstar Technology is listed in Shenzhen (300607.SZ) with its R&D headquarters at Songshan Lake, Dongguan. It makes six-axis and SCARA industrial robots, injection molding machines and auxiliaries, five-axis machining centers and, in embodied AI, the Xingzai quadruped."]},{"h":"Price and availability","p":["The robot is sold to industrial customers by Topstar; no price is published."]}],"timeline":[["2026","Injection molding line with humanoid shown at CHINAPLAS 2026"],["2026-05","Xiao Tuo team receives the National Workers' Pioneer award"]],"faq":[["Who makes the Xiao Tuo robot?","Guangdong Topstar Technology of Dongguan, listed in Shenzhen."],["Does Xiao Tuo walk?","No, it is a wheeled humanoid."],["How much can Xiao Tuo lift?","10 kg per arm, with each arm weighing 15 kg."],["Where does Xiao Tuo work?","Mainly on injection molding lines, picking, inspecting and traying parts."]],"sources":[{"title":"荣获“全国工人先锋号”！拓斯达让具身智能机器人真正走进工厂","publisher":"Topstar","url":"https://www.topstarltd.com/lang-cn/newsview/2292.html","date":"2026-05-01"},{"title":"具身智能 (Embodied AI products)","publisher":"Topstar","url":"https://www.topstarltd.com/lang-cn/productlist/001005.html","date":"2026-10"},{"title":"拓斯达科技 home page","publisher":"Topstar","url":"https://www.topstarltd.com/","date":"2026-10"}],"updated":"2026-10-10"},"mera":{"rental_with_operator":false,"sale_in_offer":false,"availability":"confirmation_required","shop_url":null},"url":"https://merarobotics.com/blog/humanoids/topstar-xiao-tuo","inquiry_url":"https://merarobotics.com/en/start?service=purchase&robot=topstar-xiao-tuo"}
