Spirit AI

Company Profile

Founded in January 2024 and headquartered in Hangzhou, Spirit AI is a company focused on theembodied intelligenceThe company is a unicorn enterprise in robotics research and development. With the core strategy of “building a universal brain for robots”, the company is committed to promoting the development of embodied intelligence from the laboratory to the industry through technological breakthroughs and commercialization. As of April 2026, Spirit AI has completed several rounds of financing, with a valuation exceeding 20 billion RMB, becoming one of the core members of the “10 billion club” in the global embodied intelligence track. Its shareholders include top capitals (e.g. CloudFront Fund, Sequoia China), industrial giants (e.g. Ningde Times, Jingdong) and state-owned capitals (e.g. Hangzhou Jintou), and it has constructed a full ecological empowerment system of “technology+scene+resources”.

Team members: the “golden combination” of academia and industry”

The core team of Spirit AI has both cutting-edge technology insight and engineering capability, with an average age of less than 30 years old, but has already accumulated profound experience in both academic and industrial fields:

• Han Fengtao, Founder and CEOHe is a serial entrepreneur in the robotics industry, former co-founder and CTO of Luo Shi Robotics, leading the delivery of more than 20,000 industrial robots, with more than 10 years of experience in manufacturing scenarios on the ground.
• Co-founder Gao YangDr. Pieter Abbeel, Assistant Professor at Institute for Interdisciplinary Information Studies (IIIS), Tsinghua University, and Ph.D. at University of California, Berkeley, studied under Pieter Abbeel, whose ViLa and CoPa models have been adopted by the world's leading robotics programs, and whose academic results have been selected by NeurIPS, ICRA, and other top conferences.
• Co-Founder, Zheng LingyinHe was responsible for marketing and globalization layout, and had built the industrial robot overseas business unit from 0 to 1 and achieved scale profitability, laying the foundation for Chihshun's commercialization expansion.
• core memberThey are from UC Berkeley, Tsinghua University, Peking University and other universities, as well as Byte, Xiaomi, Tencent and other enterprises, covering the fields of multimodal large models, robotics, reinforcement learning, etc., and forming a closed loop of full-stack capabilities of “academia+engineering”.

Products & Services: Leapfrogging from Hardware to Full Stack Technology

Taking “Body Brain” as the core, Chance Intelligence has built a complete product matrix covering hardware, software and scenarios:

1. Robotics hardware::
   • Moz series humanoid robotsThe company has 26 degrees of freedom and the world's highest power density integrated force-control joints for commercial services and home scenarios, and can perform long-range complex tasks such as folding clothes and changing paper drawers.
   • “Xiaomo” industrial robotIt is designed for high-precision manufacturing scenarios and has been applied to Ningde Times power battery PACK production line, realizing a plugging success rate of 99% or more, an operating beat comparable to that of skilled workers, and a 3-fold increase in the workload in a single day.
2. Full-stack technical services::
   • We have shifted from providing hardware to outputting full-stack capabilities of sensing, decision-making, and execution, supporting rapid customization of solutions to fit different production lines, and promoting large-scale replication. For example, the customized production line solution for Ningde Times has already covered EOL (off-line inspection) and DCR (DC internal resistance test) processes, and will be expanded to cover a wide range of battery types and processes in the future.
3. Commercialization scenarios on the ground::
   • Industrial: Collaborated with Ningde Times to build the world's first intelligent production line with humanoid body, verifying the actual creative power of technology on productivity.
   • RetailMoz Robot has signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Jingdong, and has been connected to the Jingdong MALL intelligent retail scene, completing tasks such as high-precision coffee production, and running through the business closed loop of “data collection - model iteration”.
   • Globalization: Expanding overseas markets through shareholders' resources (e.g. TCL, Huawei) and planning to achieve a sales target of at least 100,000 robots in the coming year.

Core technology: Data-driven “Scaling Law” breakthroughs

Spirit AI's technological route focuses on “diverse data” and “low-cost acquisition”, which builds up the core competitiveness in the field of Body Intelligence:

1. VLA (Vision-Language-Action) Modeling::
   • The self-developed Spirit series models have been open-sourced, of which Spirit v1.5 surpassed Pi0.5 with 66.09 points in RoboChallenge evaluation, becoming the first Chinese open-source model whose performance exceeds the international top level. The model has a strong zero-sample generalization ability, and can complete complex tasks such as wiping objects and operating hinges without new sample training.
2. Data system construction::
   • Scale and diversity: Accumulated over 200,000 hours of real interaction data (covering dimensions such as Internet video, teleoperation, wearable acquisition, etc.), expected to exceed 1 million hours in 2026.
   • Low-cost acquisition: Self-developed 5th generation wearable data collection device, cost reduced to 1/10th of traditional methods, clearing the way for scale-up collection.
   • Data Philosophy InnovationWe propose that “Dirty data is the key to scaling VLA models”, which significantly improves model generalization and scaling efficiency through diversified “imperfect data” training. ability and scaling efficiency through training on diverse "imperfect data".
3. Forward-looking technology path::
   • Adhering to the fusion path of “big model + embodied intelligence”, we are on the same frequency with Google DeepMind, Pi and other global head companies to provide long-term support for model iteration.

Prospects: defining the backbone of the next generation of embodied intelligence

Against the background of capital returning to rationality and the industry entering into a reshuffle period, Spirit AI has shown strong development potential by virtue of the differentiated path of “real scene landing + open source ecology”:

1. Deepening technical barriers::
   • Continuously increase the investment in the body-based model and real data system, and promote the breakthrough of model performance to the “GPT-3 level” (expected to be realized by the end of 2026 to the middle of 2027), so as to consolidate the leading position in global technology.
2. Commercialization Accelerates Expansion::
   • From new energy manufacturing to logistics, retail, education and other scenarios, through the “technology output + scene customization” mode to achieve large-scale replication. For example, the cooperation with Jingdong will explore the potential of Jingdong Cloud and Joyinside model in the retail network, forming a two-way empowerment between technology development and application scenarios.
3. ecological synergy that empowers::
   • Relying on shareholders“ resources (e.g. Ningde Times, Huichuan Technology, Huawei) to build a ”full-scene industrial ecosystem", covering the whole chain of capabilities from the supply of core components (e.g. Wolong Electric Drive's motors, Ausbay's LIDAR) to the support of technological solutions (e.g. Zhaowei Mechatronics's precision transmission, Topside's operation and control system).
4. Globalization Strategy::
   • Through TCL, Huawei and other shareholders of the overseas channel to expand the international market, plans to realize at least 100,000 units of robot sales target in the next year, the impact of with the brain global top three.
