"Building the World's Leading General-Purpose Intelligent Robotics Platform"
Beijing embodied-AI firm founded 2023 by ex-Xiaomi MIUI chief Qiao Zhongliang; Runwu 4D world model drives its welding robot priced from RMB 169,800.
Beijing Xiaoyubot Intellisys Co., Ltd., known in Chinese as Xiaoyu Zhizao and marketed as XIAOYUBOT, is an industrial embodied-intelligence robotics company headquartered in Building B3, North Territory, Dongsheng Science and Technology Park, Haidian District, Beijing. It was founded in February 2023 by Qiao Zhongliang, a member of Xiaomi's founding team who joined Xiaomi in 2010 and later ran MIUI research and development as general manager. Co-founder, president and CTO Wang Wenlin was previously general manager of Xiaomi's system platform department and worked at Microsoft and Yahoo China; other partners came from Xiaomi hardware and quality, ByteDance's Doubao team, Baidu and Unilever. As of the first quarter of 2026 the company had more than 120 employees, with over 85% in R&D, and it reports more than 80 invention patents.
The company's technical strategy is described as one brain, many forms: a single foundation model for the physical world that can drive different robot bodies, including arms, quadrupeds and humanoids. It presents three in-house technologies. The Xiaoyu Runwu world model is a native multimodal 4D world model that takes multi-view video, force data, electrical signals and human instructions, predicts how the environment will change after an action and generates new trajectories; the company says it is trained on more than 100,000 hours of real industrial multimodal data. The Xiaoyu Xirang hardware platform is a self-developed domain controller on an NVIDIA Orin industrial computer intended to unify interfaces and communication protocols across robot types; in 2026 Xiaoyu also partnered with D-Robotics to add its Xuri (Sunrise) S600 compute platform. The third element is a self-developed positioning pen, a handheld 3D pointing device with dual chips, four cameras and microsecond hardware synchronisation that lets an operator show the robot target points, combined with a phone-style user interface that the company says lets a new worker start in about three minutes.
Its first commercial product is the Xiaoyu Future Robot, which the company calls the first industrial embodied-intelligence welding robot. It was launched on 2 July 2026 at the Global Digital Economy Conference in Beijing, and the standard workstation starts at RMB 169,800. The workstation combines a Universal Robots arm (about 0.5 mm absolute accuracy, joint torque sensing, TUV Rheinland safety certification) in several reach options, Mech-Mind welding-specific 3D cameras, and Xiaoyu's software, and can be deployed in about four hours. It targets non-standard, low-volume welding in shipbuilding, building steel structures and bridges, where conventional teach-programmed robots are hard to use.
Commercial milestones reported by the company and press include a July 2024 cooperation with Tangshan Panasonic on large-model welding robots, a strategic procurement agreement for 100 units with a leading heavy-industry company, first batch deliveries, use in more than ten factories, and a strategic agreement with China Construction Science and Industry (CCSS) covering a planned 1,000 embodied welding robots for steel-structure welding over the following year. CCSS showed a jointly developed flexible welding solution in July 2026. The company has said it will extend the platform to cutting, handling, spraying and grinding and to aerospace manufacturing.
Xiaoyubot has raised several rounds since 2023: a seed round with Xiaomi co-founder Li Wanqiang, Xiaomi and Y&R Capital; a Series A of about RMB 100 million in December 2024 led by Beijing's information industry fund; an A+ round led by Didi in 2025; a Series B of several hundred million yuan announced in March 2026 led by Huaye Tiancheng with CMB International, the Moutai fund and the Guizhou science and technology angel fund; and a Series B+ of several hundred million yuan in May 2026 led by BAIC Industrial Investment, Fosun RZ Capital and C&D Emerging Industry fund. Other shareholders include iFlytek Ventures, the Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence and Zhongguancun Development Group.
Primary type & automation activities this supplier delivers:
Embodied-AI welding workstation for non-standard welds in shipbuilding, steel structures and bridges; UR arm, Mech-Mind 3D vision, world model and pointing pen.
Native multimodal 4D world model that predicts environment changes after actions and generates robot trajectories, trained on 100,000+ hours of industrial data.
Self-developed robot domain controller on NVIDIA Orin that unifies interfaces and protocols so one robot brain can drive arms, quadrupeds or humanoids.
Handheld 3D pointing device that streams operator-indicated target points to the robot in real time, replacing teach-pendant programming.
