Hi Ming,

We’d absolutely love to!
I’m available all day tomorrow except from 10:30 to 12:00 Beijing Time — what time would work best for you?
Once we settle on a slot, I’ll send over a Teams link.

Best,
Qinni

Dear Sir/Madam,

My name is Qinni, and I’m with Robot Era, a humanoid robotics company incubated by Tsinghua University. We’ve been closely following your work and truly admire your contributions to advancing the field of robotics — it's incredibly inspiring.

At Robot Era, we’ve commercialized a suite of cutting-edge products that we believe could enhance your research initiatives:

  1.  Dexterous Robotic Hand

  *   12 active degrees of freedom per hand, with each joint directly gear-driven — delivering faster actuation than linkage- or tendon-based mechanisms.
  *   270-degree wraparound tactile sensors, capable of detecting 3D force and temperature, enabling delicate gripping of soft, flexible, or fragile items.
  *   Biologically-inspired force control (as opposed to position control), allowing for more adaptable interaction with objects.
  *   Backdrivability, which enhances fault tolerance and supports drag-teaching.
  *   Software and simulation ready, with accurate URDF, tactile sensing simulation, and full compatibility with teleoperation and secondary development.
Overall, the system features an AI-friendly architecture — with no transmission mechanisms, nonlinear variables are greatly reduced, simplifying algorithm design and improving model training efficiency.

  1.  Wheeled humanoid robot, optimized for agile mobility in semi-structured environments.

  1.  Bipedal humanoid robot, designed to handle complex, dynamic tasks in diverse settings.

You can get a quick glimpse of our robots in action — from using chopsticks and screwdrivers to gently petting a kitten, or climbing stairs and running across gravel — on our YouTube channel.

We’d love to explore how our technology could align with your research goals, and see if there’s potential for collaboration. Would you like us to send over the spec sheet and presentation for your review?

Warm regards,
Qinni
