TienKung 2.0 trials parts-container handling at Foton Cummins
The bipedal platform shares a Beijing test facility with Tianyi 2.0, while retaining its own task evidence and model identity.

TienKung 2.0 was reported working alongside Tianyi 2.0 in Foton Cummins' engine-factory program from September 2025. August 2026 on-site reporting describes the bipedal robot moving a container in about a minute and a half during continued testing.
The program addresses the handoff between existing material transport and storage racks. It had not yet become formal production staffing in the later account. The observation is therefore preserved as a factory pilot, not a permanent labour-replacement result.
Keeping a separate model record matters because a biped and a wheeled-arm robot face different balance, reach and energy constraints. A short observed sequence does not establish a shift average or failure rate. The engineering value of the trial lies in adapting real racks, containers and end effectors. Reliable comparison still needs repeat counts, recovery logs and task-specific acceptance criteria.
