Beijing developer of Bubbo, an AI companion robot for the home powered by its own Xinyuan language model.
Beijing Xinyan Robotics Technology Co., Ltd. is a Chinese consumer robotics company headquartered in the Haidian District of Beijing, developing an AI-driven family companion robot marketed under the brand name Bubbo. The company's own website carries an independent telecommunications filing distinct from that of its parent group, and presents Bubbo as a first-generation home companionship robot, describing it with taglines such as bring home the future and positioning it as the next era of family companionship, targeting households seeking an emotionally engaging robotic presence rather than a task-oriented service or cleaning robot.
Bubbo's software layer is built around a proprietary large language model, marketed under the name Xinyuan, which the company positions as the engine behind Bubbo's conversational and emotional-companionship behavior, an approach it describes as an AI-driven platform for psychological and emotional companionship rather than a general-purpose voice assistant. On the hardware and industrial-design side, the company emphasizes a customizable physical appearance for the robot, offering what it calls Bubbo's Wardrobe, a line of interchangeable outer shells and accessories that let owners change the robot's look, alongside dedicated design and detail pages on its website highlighting the physical construction of the unit.
Media coverage of Bubbo's showcase at the 2026 World Robot Conference identifies the founder and chief executive behind the robot as Ren Yongliang, who is also described in that coverage as the founder and CEO of Cylingo Group, a company reported to have spent more than a decade in the emotional-interaction technology field through its Ceice testing application before extending into physical companion-robot hardware. This indicates that Beijing Xinyan Robotics Technology operates as the robotics arm of Cylingo Group rather than as a fully independent company, even though it maintains its own corporate registration, domain, and telecommunications filing separate from the wider group's main website. Coverage of the conference reported that Bubbo had its first public unveiling at a Shanghai AI conference in late July 2026 and completed production of its first mass-manufactured unit in mid-August 2026, shortly before the World Robot Conference appearance.
The company's public-facing communications focus on Bubbo as a single flagship product rather than a broader catalog, and its website does not disclose detailed hardware specifications such as battery life, sensor configuration, or physical dimensions. Beijing Xinyan Robotics Technology's registered contact details list a Beijing office address and a company contact email hosted on its own domain. As of the most recent review of public materials, the company's founding year, total headcount, and independent financing history apart from the parent group could not be confirmed. Beijing Xinyan Robotics Technology exhibited at the 2026 World Robot Conference in Beijing, presenting Bubbo and its underlying Xinyuan companionship model to an audience that includes consumer-robotics buyers, retailers, and investors focused on the home-companion and emotional-AI robot segment.
