Huawei

A Shenzhen telecom and tech giant entering embodied AI through chips, cloud platforms, and large models.

Huawei was founded in Shenzhen in September 1987; its founder, Ren Zhengfei, previously served in the People's Liberation Army's engineering corps, and its main businesses are telecom equipment, smartphones, chips, and cloud computing. Huawei does not mass-produce humanoid robots; instead it builds the underlying compute, platforms, and models: its Ascend AI chips and CANN software stack, its MindSpore deep-learning framework, its Pangu large model, and Huawei Cloud's embodied-AI development platform, CloudRobo. CloudRobo is currently in open beta, providing manipulation and navigation data, simulation assets, model training, and combined simulation-plus-real-robot evaluation, and it opens up an R2C protocol that the company says can shrink the time to adapt a new robot body from weeks to hours. Huawei has reportedly also set up an embodied-AI industry innovation center in Shenzhen, partnering with multiple robot-body makers.

ExampleA robot-body maker connects its own robot through CloudRobo's R2C protocol, trains a model on the platform's data in the cloud, and then runs it through simulation and real-robot evaluation.
