Product Overview

"Nanke Pangu" is the first humanoid robot independently developed by the Robotics Institute of Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech), officially released in June 2025. It is the first humanoid robot case in Shenzhen that is completely independently developed by a university. In terms of structural design, Nanke Pangu features a highly anthropomorphic bionic robotic arm that cleverly integrates linear motor and parallel mechanism technologies. With in-depth structural optimization of the elbow and wrist joints, more of its self-weight is successfully concentrated toward the torso end, significantly reducing the arm's motion inertia and thus greatly improving overall dynamic performance. Compared with traditional collaborative arms, the load-to-self-weight ratio of the Nanke Pangu bionic arm has been increased by more than 50%. In multimodal interaction, Nanke Pangu has successfully integrated Multimodal Large Language Models (MM-LLMs) along with visual noise reduction algorithms, enabling high-level intelligent interaction capabilities across multiple modes (vision, voice, etc.). In form and function, Nanke Pangu is highly humanoid and equipped with several advanced capabilities, such as integrated multimodal voice interaction for context‑based autonomous multi‑turn dialogues, accurately understanding user intent and environmental information; high‑precision radar mapping technology for autonomous semantic navigation and path planning; a self‑developed humanoid robotic arm and dexterous hand system enabling dual‑arm collaborative manipulation; vision‑language model (VLM) integration supporting object segmentation recognition, intelligent photography, and more; and human‑like social behaviors such as autonomous greeting, handshaking, and bowing. The robot achieved rapid transformation from laboratory blueprints to a full prototype, with the entire process taking only 10 months.
