Ti5Robot YAOGUANG: what can it do and can you rent it for events?

Article summary

YAOGUANG is a modular humanoid from Shanghai-based Ti5Robot with dual-arm payload capacity of 20–40 kg. What it can do, its current status, and why we recommend Unitree G1 or H2 for events.

Ti5Robot YAOGUANG is a humanoid robotic platform developed by Shanghai-based Ti5Robot, focused on research and development, industry, and automation. ROBOTio does **not hire it out**—it is a monitored model whose commercial availability for the EU still needs to be verified. For a corporate event, [Unitree G1](https://robotio.eu/unitree-g1-basic) or H2 from our fleet makes more sense today—robots with their own operators who are prepared for the stage, exhibition stand, and conference. ## What is Ti5Robot YAOGUANG Behind the model stands Ti5Robot Technologies Co., Ltd., headquartered in Shanghai. The company positions itself as a developer of robotic hardware. It develops electric actuators, joint modules, bionic hands, lightweight collaborative robots, exoskeletons, and humanoid robots. YAOGUANG is its humanoid platform. The manufacturer emphasises modular, integrated, and lightweight electrical construction. So this is not a robot created primarily for the stage and audiences, but a hardware platform for research, development, and industrial projects. In our [guide to brands](https://robotio.eu/brands/ti5robot), we list it as a monitored brand. ## What YAOGUANG can do according to the manufacturer Based on publicly available information, the following capabilities emerge: - **Arm span up to 2 m** and 7 degrees of freedom per arm. - **Dual-arm payload capacity of 20–40 kg** depending on configuration. For industrial scenarios such as manipulation, palletisation, or assembly, this is a key specification. - **Binocular camera vision** with depth perception (data communicated by the manufacturer). - **Bionic hand** developed as a standalone product. Fine manipulation is a long-standing challenge in robotics, and Ti5Robot addresses it modularly, making it usable beyond its humanoid platform. The information available does not include, for example, height, walking speed, or battery life. We do not supplement these figures. Anyone who needs them should obtain them directly from the manufacturer. ## Current status and availability Ti5Robot publicly presented at **HANNOVER MESSE 2025** and at the **China Robots Conference**. This gives the platform visibility, but it says nothing yet about commercial availability. For European use, in our assessment, the following must be verified: - current commercial availability and delivery to the EU, - technical documentation and SDK, - service model, - certifications, - the robot's actual capabilities for specific tasks. Until these points are clear, we regard YAOGUANG as a monitored model. It is suitable for companies planning industrial pilots, research and development projects, or comparing platforms. We always verify availability individually based on what the customer plans to do. ## What this means for corporate events At an event, a robot doesn't perform a factory task. It needs to captivate guests, run through the entire programme, and operate safely among people. This creates different requirements than an industrial platform: - **Reliable operation on event day.** The robot must be available, tested, and supported by service. - **Operators on site.** We have two operators with each robot at all times. The robot maintains its own movement and balance; the operator controls direction and gestures. - **Guest communication.** Our robot speaks the language in which a guest addresses it, and both the persona and responses are approved in advance. - **Predictable schedule.** Transport, testing, and the scenario are planned with the certainty that the robot will be on site. High payload capacity or fine manipulation are useful in a factory. At an exhibition stand, conference, or launch party, what matters more is how the robot comes across and whether full service support is in place. A platform with unclear EU availability is a risky choice for a time-bound event. ## What we recommend instead From our own fleet, we offer: - **Unitree G1** (135 cm), such as robots R.U.D.A. and R.I.C.O., suitable for exhibition stands, conferences, and guest interaction. - **Unitree H2** (180 cm) for events where the robot needs to be visible from a greater distance. - **Robopes Unitree Go2** as a complementary element or standalone attraction. We deploy up to 4 humanoids at a single event. How such deployments work in practice is shown in our case studies, such as [video from the Brilon × Aquatherm trade fair with over 2 million views](https://robotio.eu/case-study/pva-letnany-otevreni-haly) or [three humanoids at the TE Connectivity leadership meeting in Paris](https://robotio.eu/case-study/te-connectivity-alm-paris-2026). Depending on the type of event, [robots for technology events](https://robotio.eu/robot-hire-by-event-type) and [robots for trade fairs](https://robotio.eu/robot-hire-by-event-type) are particularly suitable. You'll find our full range in the [robot models overview](https://robotio.eu/models) and [model comparison](https://robotio.eu/comparison-of-models).

No. We monitor YAOGUANG and provide information about it, but we do not hire it out. For events, we offer Unitree G1, H2, and the Go2 robot dog from our own fleet. ### Is YAOGUANG suitable for a stage or exhibition stand? The manufacturer positions it as a platform for research and development, industry, and automation. For events with a fixed date, we recommend a robot whose availability and service support are verified. ### What are YAOGUANG's main specifications? Arm span up to 2 m, 7 degrees of freedom per arm, dual-arm payload capacity of 20–40 kg depending on configuration, and binocular camera vision. The available data does not include other specifications. ### Where can I see YAOGUANG? Ti5Robot presented at HANNOVER MESSE 2025 and the China Robots Conference. We have no information about further appearances. ## Non-binding enquiry Planning an event and not sure which robot is right for you?
