AI² Robotics

AI² Robotics is a Chinese startup specializing in embodied artificial intelligence, founded in April 2023 by Guo Yandong, a veteran AI expert with experience at Xpeng Motors and Oppo. The company focuses on developing humanoid robots that combine advanced AI perception, learning, and interaction to operate autonomously in complex real-world environments. AI² Robotics has rapidly gained prominence by raising hundreds of millions of yuan in pre-A funding rounds led by major investors including Fortune Venture Capital and Dunhong Capital.

The company’s mission is to push the boundaries of embodied AI, enabling robots to replace humans in repetitive, dangerous, or complex tasks across industries such as automotive, manufacturing, and internet services. AI² Robotics has launched the Alpha Bot series, which includes humanoid robots powered by their proprietary Alpha Brain architecture, featuring advanced spatial intelligence and adaptive learning capabilities.

AI² Robotics actively collaborates with academic institutions and industry partners to develop foundational AI models and accelerate commercialization. Their robots are designed to autonomously perceive and interact with their surroundings, with applications planned in airports, residential communities, semiconductor manufacturing, and disinfection services.
