Techman Robot

Founded in 2015 inside the Quanta group, Techman Robot builds collaborative robot arms in Taiwan, with research, development and manufacturing all based there by its own account. Its parent is Quanta Storage, and the wider group includes Quanta Computer, the notebook maker. The company has since listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange, a step recorded on its history page, and describes itself as the only collaborative robot manufacturer based in Taiwan.

Arms that see

Its first product was the TM5, and a vision system built into the arm has been the theme ever since. Heavier machines followed with the TM12 and TM14, then the TM16 and TM20, all sold now as the TM AI Cobot series. A newer S series adds the TM6S, TM20S, TM25S and TM30S among others, along with the lightweight TM3S shown overseas at a Thailand automation fair. On the S series, Techman claims repeatability of plus or minus 0.03 mm and a sixth axis joint speed raised from 225 to 450 degrees a second, which it compares with its own earlier models.

Programming and certification

TMflow is the graphical programming software, and AI Vision and various add-ons are sold with it. The company reports that it became the first maker of built-in vision AI cobots to obtain IEC 62443-4-2 SL2, a security certification for industrial components. Its safety claims rest on ISO 10218-1 and ISO/TS 15066.

From factory arms to humanoids

Lately Techman has taken up the phrase Physical AI. At GTC 2026 it unveiled a humanoid robot named TM Xplore I, and it has since announced an end-to-end development package built with Nvidia and QCT. Automotive lines are a repeated reference, including a Quanta Computer facility in Germany. Distribution runs through more than 100 partners across China, Europe, Japan, South Korea and South-East Asia, with branch offices in Nagoya, South Korea and the Netherlands, a Shanghai subsidiary and a strategic alliance with Omron.
