SENAD - 赛那德科技有限公司
Shanghai robotics maker of autonomous truck loading and unloading robots using machine vision and AI perception.
SENAD is a Shanghai-based robotics company headquartered at Building 5, No. 117 Huiya Road, Jiading District. Its Chinese legal registration name is recorded in the chinese_name field. It has been recognized as a National High-Tech Enterprise and a Shanghai "Specialized and Innovative" enterprise, and it operates a Shanghai Academician (Expert) Workstation. SENAD holds more than 140 independent patents and states it was the first company in China's robotics industry to obtain OIML international certification, which is relevant to its weighing and measurement products.
The company designs and manufactures embodied-intelligence loading-and-unloading robots together with machine-vision inspection equipment. Its iLoabot family, including the iLoabot-M, iLoabot-Pro, iLoabot-X, iLoabot-Ultra, and iLoabot-D, are autonomous robots that use machine vision, AI perception, and autonomous-driving technology to load and unload cartons, with the company citing a handling rate of up to 1,800 cartons per hour for warehouse inbound and outbound, storage, and sorting operations. Its separate vision product line includes single-piece separation equipment and dimensioning-weighing-scanning systems used in e-commerce logistics, helping warehouse operators automatically capture package dimensions, weight, and barcode data as part of the sorting and fulfillment process.
SENAD has raised several rounds of institutional financing: roughly 30 million yuan in a Series A round in 2021, a further round in 2023 led by Puhua Capital, a 300 million yuan Series C round in 2025 that included Manbang Group and Haitong Kaiyuan, and more than 200 million yuan of additional strategic financing in 2026 from investors including China COSCO Shipping, Alibaba, Dachen Capital, and Changshi Capital. Company statements say its loading-and-unloading robots have also been validated in overseas markets, and earlier reporting on its machine-vision business listed JD Logistics and STO Express among its clients.
SENAD describes its mission as building robots that combine autonomous navigation, autonomous loading and unloading, and an independent delivery platform to relieve manual labor shortages in logistics handling operations.

FUTURE WARFARE | Air - Collaborative Combat Aircraft, Drone Motherships & the Autonomy Race Above the Battlefield
Anduril’s YFQ-44A Fury flew its first semi-autonomous mission on 31 October 2025 — 556 days from contract to flight. By February 2026 it was carrying live missiles and swapping autonomy software mid-flight. China’s Jiutian drone mothership flew on 11 December 2025, capable of releasing over 100 loitering munitions from its internal bay at 15,000 metres. And the U.S. Air Force is standing up its second experimental one-way attack drone unit for mid-2026. This article maps the most consequential aerial autonomous systems competition in history: the CCA programme that will determine U.S. air dominance in the 2030s, the Valkyrie’s surprising rebirth, the A-GRA open-architecture breakthrough, and the Chinese drone mothership that has no Western equivalent.
U.S. Moves to Ban Chinese Robots: Supply Chain Shock or Strategic Decoupling?
A bipartisan U.S. bill targets Chinese humanoid and autonomous robots in federal procurement. We analyse the supply chain, investor, and geopolitical implications for both China and U.S. robotics markets.
FUTURE WARFARE | Land - Unmanned Ground Vehicles — From Logistics Mules to Front-Line Robots
Ukraine fielded 15,000 unmanned ground vehicles in 2025 — surpassing its own procurement targets by over 100 percent. A single UGV held a front-line position for 45 days. Up to 90 percent of supplies to Pokrovsk now move by robot, not truck. The U.S. Army cancelled its $3 million Robotic Combat Vehicle and is starting over. China is deploying $3,000 robot dogs in PLA urban-warfare exercises. This article maps the emerging UGV battlefield — from Ukraine’s garage-built logistics fleet to the Pentagon’s stalled combat-vehicle ambitions, and from Ghost Robotics’ Vision 60 to the quadruped proliferation problem no treaty has yet addressed.
