The brief

Analyst view
  • IDC ranks it third worldwide by humanoid shipments in H1 2026, about 1,000 units, behind Agibot and Unitree.
  • Raised about 1 billion yuan in April 2026; says it turned operating cash flow positive in Dec 2025.

Technical approach

As reported
Size

Small and hard to break

Its robots are child-sized (the K1 is about 95 cm and 19.5 kg), so falls do little damage and they cost far less than adult-sized humanoids.

Market

Developers first

It sells open platforms to labs, schools and competition teams, who write their own software, rather than promising factory work now.

Software

Booster Studio

A development suite for training robot skills in simulation and moving them to the real robot, with ROS 2 support and open SDKs.
