At the 2025 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS 2025), RealMan Robotics debuted its RealBOT embodied open platform.

At the event, the China-based company successfully conducted a cross-regional teleoperation demonstration, linking Beijing and Hangzhou, 1,200 km apart, to showcase the real-time collaboration capabilities of embodied intelligent systems.

Through a dual-city setup connecting the Beijing Humanoid Robotics Data Training Center and the IROS exhibition booth in Hangzhou, a RealMan trainer in Beijing remotely controlled humanoid robots at the booth to perform complex interactive tasks such as handing over a towel and passing fruit.

RealMan said that RealBOT is a comprehensive open platform designed to accelerate embodied AI innovation. It integrates advanced motion control, multi-dimensional perception and precision manipulation, empowering researchers and developers to experiment, prototype and advance embodied AI applications.

Built for high-quality data collection, RealMan said that RealBOT leverages over one million multimodal data samples collected across ten real-world application scenarios from RealMan’s Data Training Center. This enables more robust model training and faster deployment across industries.

RealMan outlined the following technical advantages of RealBOT:

Full-stack in-house development: Proprietary actuator and control technologies ensure optimized performance and reliability.
Flexible compute support: Compatible with both NVIDIA Jetson Orin and Digua RDK S100 platforms.
Multi-sensor fusion perception: Integrates depth and wide-angle cameras, lidar, IMU and microphone arrays.
Compact design for narrow spaces: Excellent mobility and precision operation in confined environments.
High-Degree Dexterity: 21 active DOFs with support for dexterous hands and adaptive grippers.
Open ecosystem: Compatible with various mainstream vision systems and gripper models.

RealMan said that with its ultra-lightweight architecture, RealBOT lays the groundwork for scalable humanoid systems and high-quality data generation, empowering embodied AI to move from lab research into homes, factories and service industries worldwide.
