Guangxiang Technology (Sunrising AI) - 光象科技

Guangxiang Technology, operating under the brand Sunrising AI, is a Beijing-based embodied-AI robotics startup founded in 2025 and incubated jointly by Tsinghua University's School of Vehicle and Mobility and School of Artificial Intelligence. The company develops industrial-grade, self-evolving embodied intelligent robots aimed at complex factory automation tasks that have traditionally been difficult to automate with fixed industrial robot arms, positioning its technology around what it calls physics-native world models and physics-native algorithms for robot learning and control.

The company's flagship product is the Phi-Bot X1, an industrial embodied-AI robot built on a four-wheel omnidirectional mobile chassis with active steering and a single manipulator arm offering 27 degrees of freedom across the full body. The arm has a stated payload capacity of 6 kilograms and a working range of 0 to 2.5 meters, with 10mm positioning accuracy and 0.05mm end-effector repeatability. Phi-Bot X1 is equipped with a multi-sensory perception stack combining three LiDAR units, depth cameras, stereo vision, and ultrasonic sensors, intended to let the robot navigate and manipulate objects in unstructured factory environments. Target applications include welding-line loading and unloading, quality inspection, sorting, fastener tightening, adhesive dispensing, part insertion, and general assembly tasks. In a demonstration reported in mid-2026, a Phi-Bot X1 unit completed a continuous 21.5-hour automated welding run, and the company states its systems have been deployed with multiple leading automotive manufacturers, though specific customer names were not disclosed publicly.

Since its 2025 founding, Guangxiang Technology has raised several rounds of early-stage funding, including a seed round in August 2025 followed by angel, angel-plus, and angel-plus-plus rounds through July 2026, with reported investors including Zhuhai Science & Technology Industry Group and Xingzheng Capital among others; the company describes its cumulative angel-stage fundraising as in the hundreds of millions of RMB. In April 2026, the company was selected to join China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology Humanoid Robot and Embodied Intelligence Standardization Technical Committee, participating in two working groups covering brain-inspired intelligence and computing, and applications, indicating an early role in shaping national technical standards for embodied-AI robotics in China.
