YuanYe Technology
远也科技
YuanYe Technology (远也科技) is a wearable robotics company founded in 2019 by a team of Harvard and MIT PhDs and master's graduates, with CEO Ding Ye (丁也) at the helm . Linear Capital led its angel round that same year and has remained its key backer . The company's signature product is the "muscle exosuit" (肌肉外甲), which it bills as the world's first of its kind — a lightweight, smart-customized wearable designed to restore and enhance muscular function for people with movement impairments . In July 2022, YuanYe unveiled this exosuit after three and a half years of development . By late 2024, it had launched the PowrKnee knee-joint robot, built with biomimetic design referencing the rock-climbing ibex and AI-powered intent recognition . The company has drawn broader recognition: Ding Ye made *Fortune* China's "40 Under 40" list in 2024 , and YuanYe was named to the MIT Technology Review's "50 Smartest Companies" (TR50) in September 2025 and won a CCTV "2024 New Quality Productive Forces Case of the Year" award .
