Sichuan TLIBOT Co., Ltd - 四川天链机器人股份有限公司
Sichuan maker of the T1 biped humanoid robot and precision harmonic reducers, listed on China's NEEQ market.
Sichuan TLIBOT Co., Ltd. (branded TLIBOT) is a robotics manufacturer headquartered in Mianyang, Sichuan Province, China, founded in 2012. The company describes a research-production-application ecosystem built around a core competency in precision harmonic reducers, and reports close to 200 intellectual property filings along with annual harmonic reducer shipments exceeding 40,000 units. TLIBOT is listed on China's National Equities Exchange and Quotations (NEEQ) under stock code 835015, trading under the name 'Sichuan Robot,' and public filings indicate the company has since sought guidance for a listing upgrade to the Shanghai Stock Exchange.
TLIBOT's product lines span four areas: humanoid robots, compound (mobile-manipulator) robots, ultra-lightweight collaborative robots, and general-purpose robotic arms. Its flagship humanoid platform is the T1 biped humanoid robot, described by the company as achieving 71 degrees of freedom across the full body for highly anthropomorphic movement. TLIBOT has also publicly announced a lower-cost, consumer-oriented humanoid product under the name 'Super Species - Xiaotian.' On the robotic-arm side, the company offers standard, force-controlled, vision-equipped, and extended-reach variants of its manipulator arms, targeting both industrial and civilian applications. The company positions its in-house harmonic reducer manufacturing as a key differentiator, supplying this core component both internally for its own robots and, per company statements, to the broader robotics supply chain.
TLIBOT holds National High-Tech Enterprise status and a Sichuan 'Specialized, Refined, Distinctive and Innovative' (Little Giant) enterprise designation, and the company describes certifications tied to weapons-equipment quality-management standards alongside a general quality-management-system certification, reflecting exposure to military-civilian integration programs common among Chinese robotics suppliers serving both civilian and defense-adjacent industrial customers. Chinese technology media have reported a collaboration between TLIBOT and ZTE Corporation around the 'Tina' humanoid robot concept. The company reports a workforce of more than 218 employees and operates from its facility in the Mianyang High-Tech Zone, Sichuan Province.
Overall, TLIBOT combines vertically integrated core-component manufacturing (harmonic reducers) with finished-robot development spanning humanoid platforms, compound robots, and industrial and collaborative arms, distinguishing it from pure component suppliers or pure robot integrators in the Chinese humanoid robotics supply chain.

FUTURE WARFARE | The Geopolitical Competitive Landscape
Military robotics is no longer a U.S.-centric story. Global defence spending crossed $2.75 trillion in 2026; defence-tech VC hit a record $49.1 billion in 2025; and a multipolar robotics order is crystallising in real time — with China’s 15th Five-Year Plan institutionalising civil-military fusion, Europe’s €381 billion defence budget financing its own AI champions, and Turkey and Israel reshaping the export market with affordable, combat-proven systems. Part Five of the Future Warfare Series maps the country-by-country competitive landscape, the collapsing regulation race, and the investment forces reshaping who builds — and who controls — the autonomous weapons of the next decade.
FUTURE WARFARE | Sea - Autonomous Surface Vessels & Unmanned Underwater Vehicles — The Hybrid Fleet Takes Shape
Ukraine’s ‘Sub Sea Baby’ autonomous torpedo struck a Russian Kilo-class submarine inside Novorossiysk harbour in December 2025 — the first confirmed underwater drone attack on a submarine in history. The U.S. Navy is requesting $5.3 billion for unmanned maritime systems in FY2026, a 70 percent year-on-year increase. Saronic Technologies went from prototype to $392 million production contract in under 12 months. And DARPA’s Manta Ray XL-UUV completed full-scale sea trials. This article maps the maritime autonomous systems revolution — from Ukraine’s improvised Black Sea fleet to the Pentagon’s hybrid manned–unmanned force of the 2030s, and from Saronic’s Franklin, Louisiana shipyard to Boeing’s 85-tonne robot submarine.
