Westlake Robotics Technology (Hangzhou) Co., Ltd. - 西湖机器人技术（杭州）有限公司
Hangzhou humanoid robotics startup from Westlake University (2021); developer of the Titan o1 humanoid powered by the General Action Expert foundation model.
Westlake Robotics Technology (Hangzhou) Co., Ltd. is a Chinese robotics company founded on June 8, 2021, incubated by Westlake University in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. The company was established by Professor Wang Donglin, a leading researcher in embodied intelligence and robotic motion control at Westlake University. Westlake Robotics focuses on developing embodied AI foundation models and general-purpose robotic systems designed for civilian and industrial deployment.
The company's flagship product, the Titan o1 humanoid robot, was unveiled in March 2026. Titan o1 is powered by the independently developed General Action Expert (GAE) large model, which enables the robot to imitate human movements in real time with millisecond-level latency. Using a motion-capture suit worn by a human operator, the robot replicates arm swing angles, torso rotations, step lengths, and leg lift heights with high synchronization.
The GAE model features cross-embodiment capability, allowing it to be deployed across robots with different structures and sizes without retraining. Multiple Titan o1 units can simultaneously mirror a single operator's movements, enabling scalable teleoperation. Target application scenarios include education, retail, performance, public security, firefighting, and mining environments. Westlake Robotics additionally develops modular precision actuators and motion control components, including high-precision positioning actuators with downloadable mechanical schematics and dedicated technical support, targeting robotics developers and system integrators.
The company maintains a presence on Hugging Face (huggingface.co/westlakerobotics) for open-source model sharing. In February 2026, the company closed a Pre-Series A funding round with participation from Moganshan Fund, Loongson Baifu Venture Capital, and SAIF Partners, raising approximately $28.1 million USD to date. Westlake Robotics represents a key spin-off from China's emerging elite research university ecosystem bridging academic embodied AI research and commercial robotics manufacturing.
