HighTorque PI (Mini Pi) is a bipedal robot platform purpose-built for developers and research teams working on high-complexity locomotion and algorithm development. The Pi demonstrated exceptional reliability at the 2024 World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC 2024), completing three full days of non-stop walking demonstrations without a single failure. It also earned first place in both the racing and obstacle-avoidance/door-opening competitions at the IEEE-RAS Humanoids conference, and was featured as the only humanoid robot at NVIDIA's Spring Festival event. With upgraded main controllers, motor drivers, and optimized internal wiring, the PI offers a clean exterior and smooth motion performance. It is designed for rapid prototyping and validation of bipedal locomotion, perception, and whole-body control algorithms.
