Techman Robot
Taiwan's cobot champion evolves into humanoid — TM Xplore I combines 40,000+ cobot deployments of know-how with NVIDIA Isaac GR00T to target precision manufacturing at $45K.
From 40,000 cobots to Taiwan's first humanoid — built on NVIDIA Isaac and supply chain mastery.
Founded in 2016 and majority-owned by Quanta Computer — the world's largest laptop ODM — Techman Robot built its reputation on the TM series collaborative robots, which integrated vision systems directly into the robot head at a time when most cobots required separate vision setups. This vision-native approach drove rapid adoption: over 40,000 TM cobot deployments globally across semiconductors, electronics, automotive, and food manufacturing. That scale provided an operational foundation — factory relationships, application data, integration know-how — that most humanoid startups simply do not have.
The TM Xplore I, unveiled at NVIDIA GTC 2026, is Techman's entry into humanoid robotics and it arrives with notable credibility. The 160 cm wheeled humanoid runs NVIDIA's Jetson Orin compute platform, the Isaac GR00T VLA foundation model, and Techman's own TMAI vision system — supplemented by the Cosmos predict system, a 30-second physical-world video prediction engine that allows the robot to pre-plan fine manipulation sequences. At GTC 2026, Xplore I demonstrated 94% success rate on cable harness assembly, one of the most demanding dexterous tasks in automotive electronics.
With commercial availability targeted for H2 2026 at a price range of $45,000–$65,000, TM Xplore I positions itself as an accessible entry point for precision manufacturing customers already familiar with TM cobots. The Quanta connection gives Techman access to one of the deepest electronics manufacturing supply chains in Asia, and the NVIDIA partnership provides AI model access that competitors must develop in-house. For Taiwan's robotics industry, TM Xplore I is the clearest signal yet that Taiwan's strength in hardware manufacturing can be translated into the humanoid era.
Humanoid & Cobot Models
Taiwan's first humanoid robot, unveiled at NVIDIA GTC 2026. 160 cm wheeled humanoid with 22-axis motion, NVIDIA Jetson Orin, Isaac GR00T VLA model, and TMAI vision system. Cosmos predict system enables 30-second physical prediction for fine manipulation. Demonstrated 94% success rate on cable harness assembly. Commercial H2 2026.
The flagship entry-level cobot that built Techman's global reputation. 700 mm reach, 6-DOF, 6 kg payload, integrated vision system in the head — no separate camera required. IP54-rated for demanding factory environments. Over 40,000 units deployed globally across semiconductors, electronics, and food manufacturing.
Mid-range cobot with 1,300 mm reach and 12 kg payload — optimised for high-precision assembly in semiconductor fabrication facilities. Shares the same integrated vision platform as TM5 with enhanced arm length for reaching across wider work cells. Widely deployed in TSMC supply chain electronics assembly.
Techman's heavy-duty collaborative arm — 1,800 mm reach, 25 kg payload — designed for collaborative heavy-duty applications in electronics manufacturing and automotive assembly. The TM25 shares the integrated vision heritage and is a key building block for Techman's ambition to deploy the Xplore I humanoid in heavier-payload manufacturing environments.
