GA Robotics Co., Ltd. will exhibit at "Humanoid Robot Expo 2026" (Booth No.: 21-29) held at Tokyo Big Sight from Wednesday, April 15 to Friday, April 17, 2026, and will conduct a live demonstration of UBTECH's humanoid robot "Walker Tienkung."

■ Demo Overview: Bolt Picking by Direct Teaching
This demonstration will be executed using motion trajectories generated by direct teaching. Based on pre-set trajectories, the following sequence will be reproduced:
-
Approach to the bolt
-
Pinch gripping
-
Stable holding
-
Lifting motion
Instead of autonomous correction using visual recognition, stable gripping is achieved through precisely taught trajectories and the reproducibility of finger control.
■ Technical Features of Independently Driven Hands
Walker Tienkung is equipped with multi-degree-of-freedom hands where each finger can be driven and controlled independently.
Technical Points
-
Independent actuation per finger
-
Contact point control during pinch operations
-
Optimized force distribution per finger
-
Highly reproducible motion sequence execution
Small diameter parts like bolts present difficulties such as:
-
Small gripping tolerance
-
Limited contact area
-
Sensitivity to posture deviation
This robot demonstrates the dexterity to reliably pick up small parts through precise control at the finger level.
■ Dual Arm Maximum Payload Capacity of 14kg
Walker Tienkung has a maximum payload capacity of 14kg for both arms combined.
While this exhibition will feature small parts, the upper limbs are equipped with sufficient joint torque, reflecting a design philosophy not limited to light work.
■ Height 172cm - Adaptability to Existing Processes
Walker Tienkung's height is 172cm. Designed to be on par with human scale, it allows for:
-
Adaptation to existing workbenches
-
Reuse of human-specific jigs
-
Minimization of changes to workflow design
This design aims to reduce the burden of facility modifications when introducing humanoids, envisioning phased implementation.

FAQ
What are the main features of Walker Tienkung?
It boasts precise bolt-picking capabilities with multi-degree-of-freedom hands where each finger moves independently, and high adaptability to existing equipment due to its human-equivalent height.
In which industries is its application expected?
It is expected to be utilized in fields requiring delicate human-like tasks, such as precision parts assembly and inspection in manufacturing, and picking operations in logistics.
What is direct teaching?
It is a method of teaching a robot movements by directly manipulating it. This intuitively generates complex motion trajectories and achieves highly reproducible tasks.
