Intro
MirrorMe Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. is a newly established robotics company founded in May 2024 and registered in the China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone. The company represents a new generation of embodied AI startups in China, focusing on integrating artificial intelligence deeply with robotic hardware (ontology) to create highly capable humanoid and general-purpose robotic systems.
The company has formed a strategic collaboration with the Hangzhou International Science and Technology Innovation Center of Zhejiang University, jointly establishing a humanoid robot innovation research institute. This partnership reflects MirrorMe’s strong academic roots and commitment to advancing fundamental robotics research, particularly in areas such as motion control, system dynamics, and AI-driven autonomy.
MirrorMe originated from a Zhejiang University team with nearly a decade of experience in robotic intrinsic dynamics analysis, controller design, and full-stack software-hardware integration. Its core team also includes experts from leading embodied intelligence companies, major internet firms, and consumer electronics industries. With over 40 team members—including more than 10 PhD holders—the company combines deep research expertise with practical engineering capabilities.
The company’s mission is to push the boundaries of embodied intelligence by enabling robots to achieve motion and manipulation capabilities that surpass human performance in certain domains. It focuses on key technologies such as reinforcement learning-based full-body motion control, modular embodied platforms, and scenario-driven AI deployment. MirrorMe aims to lead innovation in both consumer-grade and industrial-grade robotics applications.
