Poke Robotics
破壳机器人
Poke Robotics (破壳机器人) is a home robotics startup founded by Tsinghua-affiliated entrepreneur-scientist Huazhe Xu (许华哲), who previously worked on intelligent "hatching" systems before pivoting to home embodiment. In April 2026, the company raised a multi-million-dollar angel round led by Yunqi Capital, with participation from the Jiao Da-Yunqi AI Angel Fund — one of that fund's first investments. Yu Sang, a Yunqi Capital executive director, served as the lead investor on the deal. The company sits at the intersection of embodied AI and consumer robotics, with Yunqi framing it as part of a bet on "physical AGI."
