CASBOT

CASBOT is a Chinese humanoid robotics company focused on transitioning general-purpose humanoid robots from lab prototypes to real-world deployment across industrial, commercial, and service sectors. Founded in August 2023 in Beijing’s Zhongguancun tech hub, the company develops full-size bipedal robotic platforms and embodied intelligence systems for applications ranging from manufacturing automation and underground mining to interactive service scenarios. Its work integrates advanced motion control, multi-modal perception, and hierarchical embodied AI architectures that enable robots to perform complex, semi-structured tasks where traditional automation fails.

CASBOT’s flagship products, including CASBOT 01 (“Wednesday”) and CASBOT 02”, combine bipedal locomotion, high-degree-of-freedom manipulation, and real-time computing power to execute dynamic operations — from industrial inspection and assembly to public engagement functions. With computing platforms reaching 550Â TOPS and sensor suites for auditory and visual interaction, the robots embody an integrated approach that blends mobility, dexterity, and environmental adaptability.

Strategically, CASBOT emphasizes mass production readiness, targeting use cases with clear return-on-investment in structured environments such as factories, warehouses, mining operations, emergency response, and commercial venues. The company has forged strategic partnerships with industrial leaders such as Lenovo, deploying humanoid systems in intelligent manufacturing lines, and collaborates with heavy industry groups on underground and high-risk automation use cases.

CASBOT’s R&D team draws on decades of expertise in intelligent robotics, precision assembly systems, visual servoing, and robotic skill learning, a blend of academic and applied experience that supports both embodied intelligence algorithm development and mechanical innovation. The company is positioning itself as a contender in China’s growing humanoid robotics sector, aiming to push embodied intelligence toward scaled commercial deployment while retaining adaptability across diverse operational scenarios.

• CASBOT 01 (“Wednesday”):
  Full-size bipedal humanoid robot capable of walking, running, and multi-task manipulation at industrial levels.
• CASBOT 02:
  Second-generation humanoid with advanced multi-modal perception (RGB-D, IMU, voice/facial recognition) for service and interactive scenarios.
• CASBOT W1:
  Wheeled embodied intelligence robot for retail, logistics, sorting, and smart service environments with multi-arm operation and lift systems.

• Embodied Intelligence & AI Integration:
  Hierarchical, end-to-end AI models with reinforcement learning for dynamic task decomposition and adaptability.
• Bipedal Mobility & Dexterity:
  Full-body humanoid locomotion with high degrees of freedom and dexterous hands for real-world tasks.
• Industrial & Harsh-Environment Automation:
  Designed for manufacturing, underground mining, emergency response, and safety operations.
• Multi-Modal Perception & Interaction:
  Vision, auditory, and sensory integration enabling interaction, tracking, and command interpretation.
• Scalable Hardware Architecture:
  Lightweight structural design, high-efficiency joints, cloud/edge compute, and integrated control for real-world deployment.

CASBOT’s rapid progression from founding in 2023 to delivering commercial humanoid robot units and securing significant funding underscores strong investor confidence in its technological and commercial trajectory.

Its focus on industrial and mining automation, where tasks are structured, ROI is tangible, and environments demand human-level adaptability, positions the company to capture near-term revenue while gathering valuable real-world data to improve embodied intelligence models. Partnerships with Lenovo and heavy industry players reflect early ecosystem traction beyond prototype stages.

Technically, the combination of high compute power, general-purpose mobility, dexterous manipulation, and multi-modal perception aligns with global trends in humanoid robotics but also brings intense competition and capital demands. CASBOT’s phased product roadmap (including wheeled, bipedal, and manipulation extensions) indicates a balanced strategy between research depth and commercial execution, though continued scaling will depend on production efficiency, supply chain integration, and broad customer adoption across sectors.
