Simplexity Robotics

Simplexity Robotics (至简动力) is an embodied-intelligence startup founded by CEO Peng Jia , building what it calls "high-user-value embodied-intelligence products" through a unified world model, tight data loops, and reliable hardware . The company pursues a "Simple is Scalable" philosophy—rendered in Chinese as 大道至简，以简驭繁—and develops its models and hardware in-house, aiming for a streamlined stack summed up as "four O's" (one model, on device, one body, one hour) .

Its technical flagship is a unified world-model-plus-VLA architecture, including the LaST0 foundation model (which fuses physical-world understanding with fast-and-slow thinking for dynamic reasoning) and ManualVLA (a long-horizon task model that generates multimodal "instruction manuals" for complex operations, accepted at CVPR 2026) . Peng has described the sector as "the most competitive track in AI" and emphasized that the company keeps strategy transparent internally while targeting overseas markets for better ROI on hardware and data costs .

The firm raised RMB 2 billion across five rounds in six months as of March 2026, with BlueRun Ventures backing it from the angel stage and re-upping in subsequent rounds .
