PsiBot - 上海灵初智能科技有限公司
Shanghai humanoid-robot startup building a foundation-model-to-hardware stack, including the Psi SynRobot humanoid and SynGlove Air teleoperation glove.
PsiBot (Shanghai Lingchu Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd.) is a Shanghai-based embodied-intelligence company founded in September 2024. The company describes its approach as a full-stack loop that links large foundation models, self-developed robot hardware, a simulation platform, and a data-collection system, with the stated goal of giving robots human-like dexterous manipulation skills for industrial, logistics, and retail deployment.
Its product lineup is built around the PSI foundation model family for embodied AI, released as PsiR0 and PsiR0.5, with a further model, PsiR1, announced as forthcoming. On the hardware side, the company's Psi SynRobot is a humanoid robot platform positioned for logistics, retail, and industrial use, and additional hardware platforms branded PsiBot V1, PsiBot H1, and PsiBot DC1 have been announced as upcoming releases. The company also sells the SynGlove Air, a wearable teleoperation glove used both for remote robot control and for capturing human demonstration data. Supporting these hardware lines are two software platforms: Psi Sim, a simulation environment, and Psi Data, a data-generation platform that pairs exoskeleton-based wearable hardware with human operators to produce real-world manipulation training data, which the company states can be collected and annotated at more than 500 items per person per day.
Early investors in PsiBot included Hillhouse Ventures and BlueRun Ventures. In March 2026 the company announced it had raised a cumulative RMB 2 billion across its angel and Pre-A financing rounds, with participation from state-backed and industrial capital investors. PsiBot has established a joint laboratory with Peking University focused on embodied dexterous manipulation research, and its website lists academic collaborations with Tsinghua University, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, and the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen, alongside technology partnerships with Baidu, Alibaba Cloud, Volcengine, and Tencent Cloud.
PsiBot is headquartered in the Beiyang AI Town area of Xuhui District, Shanghai. The company positions itself within China's humanoid and embodied-AI sector, emphasizing an integrated model-simulation-hardware-data pipeline rather than hardware alone as its core differentiator.
