China's humanoid robot "Tien Kung" became the first to connect directly to a satellite, transmitting video and data autonomously.
A Chinese humanoid robot, "Embodied Tien Kung," developed by the Beijing Innovation Center of Humanoid Robotics, successfully connected directly to a low-Earth orbit satellite during a trial, marking the first known instance worldwide of such a link.
The robot, operating autonomously, transmitted real-time 720p video and delivered a document to an aerospace park in Beijing without relying on ground-based networks.
This achievement, demonstrated at a commercial space event, also marked China’s first known simultaneous connection of a humanoid robot to a satellite, domestic smartphone, and computer terminal, showcasing the potential for satellite internet to enable robotic operations in remote or disaster-affected areas.
