- ‘1+X+N’ strategy targets trillion-dollar embodied AI market
- company expands from robot maker to full-stack ecosystem builder
Embodied AI company DEEP Robotics (云深处科技) gathered more than 500 global partners in Hangzhou on June 27 to unveil a new commercialization strategy, as the industry shifts from technology demonstrations toward large-scale deployment.
The company introduced a new technology roadmap and ecosystem partnership program aimed at accelerating the commercialization of embodied intelligence through closer collaboration across hardware, software, supply chains and industry applications.
According to International Data Corporation, the global embodied AI market is expected to exceed $1.5 trillion by 2030, intensifying competition among robotics companies seeking to establish scalable business models.
Founder and CEO Zhu Qiuguo said long-term competitiveness will no longer depend on standalone hardware or software, but instead on five integrated capabilities: robotic platforms, AI agents, industry-specific solutions, supply chain ecosystems and service networks.
‘1+X+N’ strategy
To support that vision, DEEP Robotics unveiled its “1+X+N” strategy. The framework centers on a unified embodied AI brain responsible for perception, decision-making and control, supported by multiple robot product lines.
They include quadruped, wheeled-quadruped and humanoid platforms, with deployments across a broad range of industries spanning energy, manufacturing, logistics and services.
The company also showcased its latest robot lineup, including the Lynx M20, the X30 series and its industrial humanoid robot DR02.
The humanoid model has completed core technology validation and is scheduled to enter commercial deployment in 2026.
Ranked as the world’s top player
DEEP Robotics said it now serves more than 1,200 real-world industrial application scenarios across all 34 provincial-level regions in China and 45 overseas countries and regions.
The Hangzhou-based starup claimed it had been ranked the world’s leading provider of industrial quadruped robots in 2025, although it didn’t provide verifiable third-party statistics to back up the statement.
Partners including Lenovo, JD.com and the Advanced Institute of Information Technology (AIIT), Peking University shared case studies at the event, highlighting cross-industry deployments built around the company’s robotics platform.
STAR Market bid
DEEP Robotics began pre-IPO tutoring in December 2025, and its application to list on Shanghai’s STAR Market was formally accepted on May 18, 2026.
China Securities is serving as the sponsor.
The company plans to raise 2.503 billion yuan to fund embodied AI algorithms, next-generation robot development and manufacturing facilities.
According to its prospectus, DEEP Robotics turned profitable in 2025, reporting revenue of 337 million yuan and net profit of 28.7 million yuan, with revenue growing at a compound annual rate of 159.5% over the past three years.
Registration change
According to China Business News, a daily newspaper, the company has updated its registered entity name to DEEP Robotics, removing “Hangzhou” from its corporate title as part of efforts to further globalize its operations.
Separately, the company entered its pre-IPO hearing on June 27, according to a stock exchange filing, clearing what is likely the final procedural barrier to its listing on Shanghai’s STAR Market.
