Agile Robots

Agile Robots (思灵机器人) is a global intelligent robotics unicorn founded in 2018 by Dr. Chen Zhaopeng, whose core technical team draws on deep research backgrounds from top-tier institutions . The company has built full-stack hardware and software R&D capabilities, integrating AI with robotics to serve sectors spanning smart manufacturing, medical and elderly care, energy, agriculture, and education . By late 2025 it had grown to roughly 2,500 employees, achieved consecutive years of doubling revenue, and delivered over 20,000 robot solutions worldwide, with particular traction in automotive manufacturing and consumer electronics . Linear Capital, which led the angel round in 2018 after spotting the freshly formed German Aerospace Center-derived team, has been its earliest and continuous backer through this growth . In late 2025 Agile Robots unveiled Agile ONE, a full-size industrial humanoid robot designed as part of its broader AgileCore AI-driven platform rather than a standalone product, aiming to coordinate with its existing dexterous hands, force-controlled arms, and autonomous mobile robots in production environments .
