XYZ Robotics
星猿哲
XYZ Robotics (星猿哲科技) is a Shanghai-based robotics company specializing in hand-eye coordination technology for logistics and industrial automation. Founded in 2018 by CMU robotics PhD Jiaji Zhou (CEO), MIT EECS PhD Guanting Yu (CTO), and Peking University master's graduate Liangbo Xing (COO), the company emerged from the team's record as the only group to place in the top three of the Amazon Robotics Picking Challenge for three consecutive years .
The company's core technology combines deep learning, 3D geometric vision, optimal motion planning, and a patented quick-change end-effector system to enable robots to "pick anything, place anywhere" — handling unregistered, variably shaped items in complex warehouse and factory settings . Its solutions target automated sorting, mixed-case palletizing, and industrial machine tending, with claims of 99.9% accuracy and payback periods around two years .
XYZ Robotics raised approximately $8 million in Series A funding led by Gaorong Capital and Morningside Venture Capital in 2019 , followed by a roughly $20 million Series A+ in 2020 led by Source Code Capital with continued participation from its earlier backers . It subsequently closed a $35 million Series B round in mid-2021, again with Source Code Capital increasing its stake . By that point, the company had expanded its customer base across e-commerce, logistics, consumer goods, pharmaceuticals, and industrial manufacturing .
