The rollout follows an exclusive partnership with state broadcaster China Central Television, making Rokid the first AI glasses brand to sponsor World Cup broadcast.
“Choosing to build a company in China reflects the scale of opportunity in robotics, drones and visual intelligence as a trillion-yuan industry,” Feng said.
The footage shows the robot running across grassy slopes, stepping over factory thresholds, performing fine operations inside electrical control boxes and ending with front and back flips.
For companies like Eldar, once focused on conventional metal machining, the surge has opened a fast-growing niche supplying precision components used in next-generation cooling systems.
The Hangzhou-based company said the device addresses three common problems in water sports photography: lack of camera assistance, water damage risks and difficult drone controls.
The cooperation could help move AI glasses beyond early-stage technology demonstrations into broader commercial use cases tied to large-scale live events.
The latest order signals a clearer pivot: after consolidating its position in AMRs, Guozi is accelerating its push into humanoid robotics, a field still in early commercial development.
Cui Tianyi, a former co-founder of quant trading firm TSY Capital, joined DeepSeek’s newly formed Harness team in March, according to his LinkedIn profile.
At the new rates, DeepSeek said usage cost of its V4-Pro model now drops to industry-low levels, with cached input costing as little as 2.5 fen, the smallest unit of the Chinese currency, per million tokens.
Analysts say the expansion of its product lineup is also aimed at strengthening its capital-markets narrative by showcasing the breadth of its technology stack and long-term R&D capabilities.
Spoken instructions are first converted into text before being interpreted by a large AI model, which then coordinates the robot’s joint motors to carry out the requested movement.
The partnership will provide integrated testing services covering China’s CR certification as well as international systems including CE and NRTL standards.
Galileo’s “Tiejia Tianbao,” or Iron Leopard, team outperformed rivals with its self-developed quadruped robots, excelling in mobility, motion control and all-terrain obstacle crossing.
DeepSeek’s image understanding feature began a phased rollout in late April 2026 and was made widely available to users on May 9, according to the company.
Xynova is currently ramping up production at a new facility and expects annual capacity to exceed 10,000 high-degree-of-freedom robotic hands and 200,000 micro linear actuators by the end of 2026.
Named GD01, the transformable robot can carry a human operator and switch between upright humanoid form and a four-legged mode designed for rough terrain.
Chinese restaurant operators going global are increasingly running into fragmented payment ecosystems, complex revenue-sharing structures and rising compliance costs across different markets
The company has since established contacts with buyers from more than 80 countries and regions and is in talks with partners in dozens of markets over local distribution agreements.
The robot is rated at IP67, allowing it to withstand submersion in up to one meter of water for 30 minutes, and operate in conditions such as heavy rain or flooding.
The release follows an extended, almost 3-month delay that industry sources attribute in part to a transition in training infrastructure from Nvidia GPUs to Huawei Ascend chips.
The map divides the ecosystem into five layers: robot bodies, “brains” (software and control systems), core supply chain, application scenarios and listed firms.
Hangzhou continued to dominate the landscape, home to 48 of the province’s unicorns, up from 44 last year—when it already hosted roughly four out of every five such startups.
It is designed to carry out tasks such as risk detection, site reconnaissance and search operations in areas that may be inaccessible or unsafe for human responders.
The technology has long been dominated by suppliers such as Infineon Technologies and onsemi, with local suppliers historically accounting for less than 20% of the market.
It aims to build an end-to-end technology stack spanning materials, processes, equipment, inspection and data, with a focus on domestic substitution in core aerospace components.
The update marks the first time DeepSeek has introduced functional tiering since its debut in November 2023, signaling a shift toward more refined product positioning.
While corporate registration changes completed in March 2026 often precede IPOs, Zhu reiterated the company is concentrating on product launches rather than listing in the near term.
The new hand features 21 degrees of freedom, with four fingers each offering four joints and a thumb with five, surpassing the range of motion of a human hand.
Zhang praised the process as unusually efficient, saying negotiations took about three months and highlighting what he described as the province’s “very high efficiency in all aspects.”
The machines shuttled baskets of fresh leaves directly from picking sites to processing workshops, creating what organizers described as a seamless link between harvesting and production.
The Series A funding was led by Zhejiang Province Venture Capital Group, totaling 90 million yuan ($13 million), giving ZXMoto a post-money valuation of 1.09 billion yuan.
Wang also said several robotic entrants are expected to complete a half marathon in under one hour at an upcoming competition in Beijing — a pace faster than most human athletes.
Launched in 2017, the All Blossom Conference has been held annually every spring, becoming a key event for entrepreneurs, investors, and technology experts.
With the stakes getting higher, industrial applications—often more lucrative—have attracted players to customize their products and services to meet tailored needs of end customers like power grid operators.
Unitree’s early years coincided with a difficult fundraising environment for bionic robotics. Shunwei was one of the first prominent VCs to back the startup.
