ZhiCheng AI (Hangzhou) Technology Co., Ltd. - 智澄英达（杭州）科技有限公司
Hangzhou humanoid robot maker of the TR-series (TR4/TR5/TR6) and open-source Chengling world model.
ZhiCheng AI (Hangzhou) Technology Co., Ltd. was incorporated on March 28, 2024 in Yuhang District, Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, and describes itself as a general-purpose embodied-intelligence company building humanoid robots and the underlying world models that drive them. The company was founded by Hu Luhui, who serves as CEO after prior roles as a chief engineering lead at Meta, chief architect at Huawei's U.S. research operation, and over a decade of R&D experience at Microsoft and Amazon. Its team is drawn from Meta, Microsoft, Amazon, Huawei, Alibaba, and JD.com as well as leading academic institutions, combining backgrounds in robotics hardware, perception, and large-model research.
ZhiCheng AI's product line is built around the TR series of general-purpose humanoid robots. The TR4, released in 2024, is a wheeled dual-arm lifting robot aimed at industrial and logistics tasks. The TR4 Pro variant adds a newer generation of motion-control algorithms with multimodal interaction support. The TR5, released in 2025, is a full-size legged general-purpose humanoid robot, while the TR5 Pro adopts a lighter structural design paired with a new generation of servo motors and refined motion-control algorithms. The company has also introduced the TR6 general-purpose humanoid robot for industrial, commercial, and household scenarios and the XR1, a wheeled composite humanoid robot aimed at heavy-duty industrial tasks in sectors such as auto-parts manufacturing, smart logistics, and 3C electronics assembly. In May 2026 the company open-sourced Chengling, its physical-intelligence world model (version 0.1), which underlies the perception and decision-making stack across the TR robot family.
ZhiCheng AI has sold TR-series robots to market through JD.com's self-operated retail channel and states it has accumulated roughly RMB 1.5 billion in signed orders and strategic cooperation agreements, spanning application areas including intelligent manufacturing, security patrol, biochemical/lab detection, and home services. In June 2026 the company closed a new funding round backed by Meihua Venture Capital, Xinneng Capital, Danbei Venture Capital, and Xiaochi Capital. As a roughly two-year-old venture, ZhiCheng AI's fundraising to date is consistent with an early-stage venture capital profile rather than a later-stage round.
