RobotEra has achieved the first product-market fit (PMF) in the embodied intelligence sector, with deployments across more than ten logistics centers in collaboration with China Post and SF Group.
In the second quarter of 2026, RobotEra initiated thousand-unit deliveries, with growth exceeding 300%.
Beyond deployment, RobotEra has built a fully in-house robotics hardware system, with over 95% of core components developed internally, spanning actuation systems and humanoid platforms, forming a robust foundation for real-world mobility and manipulation tasks.
A key focus is its pioneering full direct-drive dexterous hand architecture, the first of its kind in the industry, enabling high-precision, adaptable, and durable manipulation in logistics and industrial environments.
RobotEra’s hardware system has been adopted by leading global technology companies and research institutions, including Boston Dynamics, NVIDIA, and Apple.
The system works in close coordination with software in real-world environments, with deployment feedback enabling continuous performance optimization.
