Weilan Tech 南京威兰德智能科技有限公司
Chinese robotics company (Nanjing, est. 2019) making the BabyAlpha quadruped companion robot — world's top-selling consumer robot dog, 25,000+ units sold.
Weilan Tech (Nanjing WEILAN Intelligent Technologies Co., Ltd.) was founded in 2019 by Liu Weichao, a serial entrepreneur and three-time RoboCup humanoid robot international champion (2009–2011). Headquartered in Nanjing, Jiangsu, China, the company focuses on AI-driven legged robotics for consumer and developer markets.
Weilan's flagship product line is the BabyAlpha series of quadruped robots, which blend consumer-oriented companion features with developer-extensible platforms. The BabyAlpha A2 features over 100 lifelike expressions and 40 biomimetic movements, with voice interaction powered by GPT-4o integration. The BabyAlpha A3, unveiled in 2026, delivers computing efficiency described by the company as more than ten times the industry standard at a price point of approximately 300 USD, directly challenging GPU-centric computing paradigms.
The company has shipped over 25,000 BabyAlpha units, making it the world's highest-volume consumer quadruped robot brand. Weilan also offers the AlphaDog C Series for more demanding use cases and maintains a Developer Hub and WEILAN Lab for third-party software development. Products are distributed via purchase channels in China and internationally. The company can be reached via phone at 400-058-1616 (Monday–Sunday, 09:00–21:00 Beijing Time). Weilan occupies a distinct market position compared to industrial robot-dog vendors, targeting the household, educational, and developer segments rather than warehouse or inspection deployments.
