Key facts
- Specs follow the official Hi page (fetched 2026-10-17): 890 mm, 20 kg with battery, 27 DoF, 48 V, 5000 mAh.
- Official sources disagree. The product page (hightorquerobotics.com/product?id=94, fetched 2026-10-17) states 890 mm, 20 kg, 27 DoF, 16 Nm peak torque, CPU 'RK3558S' (likely a typo). A 'Hi series' spec sheet image on hightorque.cn reportedly lists Hi (23 DoF, RK3588) and Hi+ Pro (27 DoF, Orin NX), both 36 Nm; that image could not be re-opened and is not a recorded source, so peak torque uses the product page (16 Nm) and compute is left null. The Orin NX / 36 Nm figures are unconfirmed.
- Official DoF breakdown (2 head, 5 per arm, 1 per hand, 3 waist, 6 per leg) sums to 29 against the stated 27; the stated total 27 is used.
- Resellers: Cool-Mania (cool-mania.com, fetched 2026-10-17) lists 'Mini Hi' at EUR 19,000 incl. VAT (EUR 15,447.15 excl.) but marks it 'Soon in our offer', so it is not entered as a purchasable price. RoboCollective offers request-to-order with no price.
- Battery capacity 5000 mAh at 48 V per official pages; battery_wh, runtime, speed, payload and IP rating are not published.
- No RMB price from an official CN store, JD or Tmall was found (CN search 2026-10-17). The USD 8,999 reseller price is a discounted web price and may change.
- software.ros_support is false because ROS support is not documented on the fetched pages (the schema requires a boolean), not because absence is confirmed.
- Robify's 'Mini Hi' page states a 20 kg payload (reseller claim, not on official pages); payload_kg is left null.
