Industrial Applications
Walker TienKung (TK2101) is a full-size research configuration. The current manual separates its joints, sensors and compute from the other TienKung editions. Research-use conditions and currently released gait-training support limit assumptions about factory deployment.
This editorial assessment concerns industrial buyer readiness. It is not an independent performance test.

Manipulation and Perception
No exact-configuration rated payload verified. Four joints per arm, six per leg; no active head, waist or dexterous hands.
All versions: IMU and Intel i7-1355U, 16 GB RAM/256 GB storage. Base omits the three RGB-D cameras, voice kit and extra Orin compute.
SDK and Integration
ROS2 control interfaces and official C++ deployment/Python training repositories exist. Current guide explicitly limits released gait-training support to Lite/base; Plus/Pro remains marked planned Q1 2026. The elapsed date is not release evidence.
| API type | ROS2 SDK with official training/deployment forks |
|---|---|
| Languages | C++ control library, Python training |
| ROS support | Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS in hardware table; ROS2 supported. Verify exact SDK/controller revision. |
| Simulation | Isaac Lab 2.1/Isaac Sim 4.5 training and MuJoCo sim-to-sim. Current gait guide supports Lite/base; Plus/Pro compatibility remains an unreleased plan in the inspected guide. |
| Offline operation | Exact local/cloud task boundaries not established. |
| Teleoperation | No exact-model public teleoperation package verified. |
| Software updates | Firmware availability and support period not established. |
| Documentation | Open documentation |
| Code examples | Open repository |
| Integration constraints | Initial research use; commercial application requires compliant secondary development and manufacturer registration. Review research-data sharing/custody terms and the proprietary-data exception. |
Safety Notes
Research biped: learned gait transitions, loss of support and emergency states need a supported test area. Manufacturer acceptable-use terms and authorised firmware/repair conditions apply. No exact-model collaborative safety certification verified.
Compliance and Certificates
| Standard | Status | Jurisdiction | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| CE marking | Unknown | European Union | No exact-model EU Declaration of Conformity or certificate verified. |
Commercial Readiness
| Pricing | Marketing positions the family below CNY 300,000, but exact edition, tax, accessories and contract price were not established; numerical price remains unknown. |
|---|---|
| Price range | Quote-based or unverified |
| Lead time | Needs verification |
| Availability regions | China; international fulfilment requires quotation |
| Spare parts | Battery, actuator and end-effector revision compatibility, stock and repair turnaround require confirmation. |
| Warranty | Current manual: one year from receipt for main unit, joints, battery/power accessories and shell. Unauthorised changes/firmware/repairs excluded; manufacturer restricts third-party repairs. |
| Configuration and pricing basis | Quotation required; no exact-configuration public price verified. |
| Distributors and service | Terra has an announced DACH distribution agreement; confirm that this model and configuration are included. |
Family under-CNY-300,000 marketing is not a verified quotation for this exact edition. Research-use and registration terms apply.
