Leju Robotics

A Shenzhen humanoid-robot company behind the Kuavo robot, now pursuing a ChiNext IPO in 2026.

Leju Intelligent (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. was founded in 2016; its three founders, Xiaokun Leng (chairman and CTO), Lin Chang (CEO), and Ziwei An (COO), all hold PhDs from Harbin Institute of Technology and together control about 33.72% of the company. It started out with small, 30-70-centimeter educational humanoid robots, which reached nearly 5,000 primary, secondary, and vocational schools nationwide; in December 2023 it released the full-size bipedal humanoid Kuavo, running the open-source OpenHarmony operating system, which has been piloted in factories including BAIC. Its investors include Tencent and Shenzhen Capital Group, and it closed a Pre-IPO round of nearly RMB 1.5 billion in October 2025. On May 19, 2026, the Shenzhen Stock Exchange accepted its ChiNext IPO application, making it the first company to qualify under ChiNext's fourth listing standard; IDC data puts its 2025 humanoid-robot shipments third worldwide.
