ROKAE

ROKAE Robotics is a leading Chinese robotics and automation company focused on developing and commercializing a wide range of intelligent robotic systems for industrial, commercial, and future embodied AI applications. Founded in 2015, the company has grown into a global provider of flexible collaborative robots (cobots), lightweight industrial robotic arms, and next-generation embodied intelligent robots that integrate “robot + AI” technologies to improve productivity and safety in manufacturing and service environments.

Headquartered in Shandong Province with major R&D centers in Beijing, Tokyo, Wuhan, Shanghai, and Shenzhen, ROKAE draws on a highly educated technical workforce — over 80 % of its engineers hold advanced degrees from top universities — to drive innovation in motion control, robot intelligence, and automation architecture. The company’s self-developed control systems and advanced robotic platforms support precision tasks across auto parts, electronics, metal fabrication, healthcare, logistics, and general industry sectors, enabling clients to implement flexible production lines and advanced manufacturing ecosystems.

ROKAE has attracted significant strategic investment from global funds and state-backed investors, supporting ongoing R&D and international expansion. With annual production capacity in the tens of thousands of units and a presence in over 20 countries, the company is positioned as a major player in China’s smart manufacturing transformation and a contributor to global automation deployments.

  A full-size humanoid robot with multimodal AI, high-precision motion, and human-like autonomous task skills for industrial and service scenarios.
• Helios:
  A wheeled dual-arm embodied robot with 42 DoF, SLAM navigation, force controlled arms, and autonomous perception suitable for industrial and research applications.

• Flexible Collaborative Robotics (Cobots):
  Safe human-robot collaboration for mixed environments.
• Industrial Automation Arms:
  High-precision, rapid-motion industrial robots for manufacturing, welding, assembly, and metal processing.
• Embodied Intelligence Platforms:
  Integration of AI, motion control, and perception for autonomous and semi-autonomous industrial tasks.
• Advanced Motion & Control Systems:
  Proprietary high-performance controllers and motion algorithms enabling payload flexibility, precision, and repeatability.
• Global Solution Integration:
  Automation solutions tailored for industries like automotive parts, electronics, healthcare, and commercial services.

ROKAE Robotics exhibits strong viability as a robotics and automation company with a broad product portfolio, significant manufacturing capability, and a global presence. The company’s strategic funding — including a ~¥500 million (~US$69 million) strategic round in early 2024 led by major Chinese manufacturing and tech funds — underscores investor confidence in its technologies and market potential.

Its diversified industrial automation offerings position ROKAE to benefit from the ongoing global shift toward smart manufacturing and Industry 4.0, particularly in China’s rapidly modernizing industrial sector. The company’s extensive R&D infrastructure, proprietary control systems, and international deployment capability support scalability and competitive differentiation.

Continued expansion into embodied intelligent robotics — including humanoid and mobile platforms — reflects ROKAE’s ambition to move beyond traditional industrial arms into more autonomous, AI-enhanced robotics applications. As it deepens AI integration and extends its brand internationally, ROKAE’s challenge will be to maintain product quality, expand localized support networks, and foster ecosystem partnerships that accelerate adoption in both manufacturing and emerging automation sectors.
