From Bare-Bones Beginnings to Top of the Pack: 100,000 Robots and 15 Years of Bare-Knuckle Survival | Yunqi Capital Doers --- The title alone tells the story: "bare-bones" (毛坯房) and "bare-knuckle survival" (极限求生). These aren't buzzwords — they're the lived reality of a company that spent fifteen years clawing its way from nothing to industry leader. ## The 100,000-Robot Milestone In 2024, this robotics firm crossed a threshold few in China's hardware sector ever reach: deploying 100,000 units in the field. Not prototypes. Not showroom pieces. Production robots operating in factories, warehouses, and logistics hubs across the country. The number matters because hardware scales differently than software. Each unit demands supply chain discipline, manufacturing consistency, and after-service infrastructure. Ten thousand proves product-market fit. One hundred thousand proves operational mastery. ## The 15-Year Arc The company was founded in 2009 — ancient history by Chinese tech standards. That year, Alibaba's Taobao was still fighting eBay. WeChat didn't exist. The term "new energy vehicles" barely registered. The early years were spent in literal毛坯房: unfinished concrete spaces in industrial zones, the kind of startup offices where winter means seeing your breath and summer
