TOPSTAR officially unveiled its first quadruped robot, Xingzai, on January 16 in Songshan Lake, Dongguan, south China's Guangdong Province. Designed for complex operating scenarios, Xingzai features strong terrain adaptability, high load capacity, robust environmental durability, and expandable functionality.
In all-terrain operations, the robot can surmount obstacles and stairs over 20 centimeters high and maneuver flexibly across complex environments, including slopes of up to 45 degrees, snow-covered terrain, soft humus soil, and fallen tree debris, delivering stable obstacle-crossing performance. It can also operate reliably in harsh conditions such as heavy smoke, torrential rain, and hail, with an operating temperature range from –20°C to 55°C, demonstrating strong environmental adaptability.
In terms of performance, Xingzai supports a maximum moving load of 80 kilograms, offers up to eight hours of endurance, and reaches a top speed of 5 meters per second. It is expected to cover up to 20 kilometers per inspection, balancing efficiency and coverage for large-scale, multi-scenario applications.
Regarding application deployment, Xingzai targets a wide range of scenarios. In industrial parks, it can autonomously conduct inspections and monitor equipment abnormalities using advanced navigation and sensor systems. In forest firefighting, Xingzai can detect lightning-induced fires at an early stage, pinpoint fire locations, and transmit real-time data, working in coordination with drones for initial response. It can also replace manual labor by transporting firefighting equipment into hazardous areas with high temperatures and heavy smoke.
