A Shanghai commercial service-robot company with high delivery-robot shipment volumes, now also building humanoids.

KEENON Robotics was founded in Shanghai in 2010; founder and CEO Tong Li previously worked at Microsoft Research Asia's engineering institute on the Microsoft Robotics Studio development platform. It builds commercial service robots for restaurant delivery, hotel delivery, cleaning, and medical transport, and offers a pay-monthly “robot-as-a-hire” model overseas. The company says it has shipped more than 100,000 units cumulatively, citing IDC data that it ranks first worldwide in commercial service-robot shipments. In March 2025 it released the wheeled humanoid service robot XMAN-R1, able to handle a continuous sequence from taking an order to plating, delivering, and clearing dishes, followed by the bipedal humanoid XMAN-F1. It closed a $200 million Series D led by the SoftBank Vision Fund in 2021; it reportedly was considering a Hong Kong listing within 2026, aiming to raise about $200 million, as of January that year.

ExampleIn a restaurant, XMAN-R1 pours drinks and arranges trays, then hands off to a delivery robot to carry the dishes to the table.
