AI2Robotics

AI² Robotics (智平方科技) is an embodied-intelligence startup building general-purpose robots around a self-developed Vision-Language-Action foundation model. Founded by CEO Guo Yandong, the company pitches its AlphaBot 2 ("Aibao") as a fourth-generation smart terminal—after PCs, smartphones, and smart cars—designed to bring AGI from the digital world into physical space . Its full-stack "Alpha Brain" VLA model handles end-to-end visual, language, and action coordination, with an architecture the team calls GOVLA .

The firm's commercial push has moved from exhibition demos to factory floors and public infrastructure: at the 2025 World Robot Congress it showed the same unit making coffee, stacking pallets, and playing drums, while earlier in 2025 it announced deployments in biotech manufacturing with Huaxi Biotech and planned airport and community service rollouts for late 2025 . It also began building its own production lines .

Funding has come in rapid succession. As of February 2026, AI² Robotics closed a Series B totaling over RMB 1 billion at a valuation entering the RMB 10 billion tier, with a roster mixing internet and AI giants, state-owned enterprises, Tesla supply-chain leaders, and scenario partners such as CRRC Capital—reflecting a deliberate "capital + industry" structure aimed at manufacturing validation and scale . Yunqi Capital, an early backer, has featured the company across multiple portfolio showcases .
