Kusa Technology 库萨科技
"Urban Service Robots Provider"
Shanghai urban-sanitation robotics company whose autonomous sweepers run commercially across 40+ Chinese cities via a cloud dispatch platform.
Kusa Technology (Shanghai KUSA Technology Co., Ltd.) is a Shanghai-based urban service robotics company that designs, manufactures, and sells autonomous outdoor sanitation robots together with a proprietary intelligent cloud control platform for fleet management. The company's leadership includes co-founder and CEO Yang Xi and co-founder and CTO Tao Sheng; the company states its core team combines more than 16 years of experience in sanitation informatization with roughly 15 years of experience in vehicle, robotics, and autonomous-driving research, development, and management, and reports that over half of its R&D staff hold master's or doctoral degrees.
Kusa's product lineup includes three branded robot platforms: Kusa Xingyun (marketed in English as Kusa StarSweep), a full-size, vehicle-grade environmental sanitation robot for street and municipal-scale cleaning; Kusa Xingjie, a smaller cleaning robot for compact public spaces with autonomous charging capability; and Kusa Zhijuren (Kusa AI Giant / Smart Giant), a multi-scenario road-grade sweeping robot designed to operate across varied urban terrain. These autonomous sweepers are managed through the company's Intelligent Cloud Control Platform, a centralized dispatch and monitoring system for operators running fleets of unmanned cleaning vehicles. The company also markets Kusa Omni-CTS, described as a full-modal embodied AI model, and Kusa OS, a proprietary operating system underlying its robots' autonomous operation stack, positioning Kusa as both a robot hardware manufacturer and an embodied-AI software developer rather than a pure hardware vendor.
As of mid-2026, Kusa states its robots are in commercial operation across more than 40 cities and over 30 regions in China, spanning urban sanitation, parks, campuses, residential estates, and industrial parks. In July 2026 the company disclosed an "urban-service embodied intelligence architecture" that it said had been validated across this 40-city deployment base, alongside a research partnership with Anhui University's AI College aimed at advancing the underlying embodied-AI technology.
The company has received a number of third-party industry recognitions: it was named to a "Hard Tech Innovators to Watch" list for 2025, was invited to present at the 2025 World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC) in Shanghai, won third prize in a 2025 "Innovation in Shanghai" competition, was included in a KPMG China "Top 50 Intelligent Manufacturing Technology" listing, received a Deloitte "2025 China Rising Stars" award, and was named to a "Yangtze River Delta High-End Equipment New Quality Leaders" list.
Kusa is headquartered in Shanghai and can be reached through separate business, human resources, media, and supply-chain contact email addresses, plus a general telephone line. The company operates both Chinese-language and English-language versions of its corporate website. Public information on Kusa's founding date, funding history, investor names, and total employee headcount was not confirmed during this research and has been left blank rather than estimated.
