Direct Drive Technology takes a new path to robot deployment with wheel-leg fusion: from "Xingtian" to "D1"

Direct Drive Technology does not take the humanoid route; it uses direct-drive motors as wheel hubs and joints. In 2021 it launched "Xingtian," the world's first fully direct-drive two-wheeled legged robot. In 2023 it launched the 8-DOF wheel-legged robot "TITA," and in 2025 the third-generation modular wheel-legged robot "D1" was born, with a maximum obstacle-crossing height of 70 cm and a maximum payload of 80 kg; it can split into two machines or combine to cross obstacles, suitable for scenarios such as campus inspection and delivery.
