Noematrix

An embodied-AI “brain” company incubated by Flexiv Robotics and co-founded by Cewu Lu.

Noematrix was founded in Shanghai in November 2023, strategically incubated by the force-controlled robotics company Flexiv Robotics; its co-founders include Shanghai Jiao Tong University professor Cewu Lu (who did a postdoc at Stanford's AI Lab) and Flexiv founder Shiquan Wang. Its core product is the general-purpose embodied brain Noematrix Brain (version 2.0 released in July 2025), along with a toolchain that includes CoMiner, a companion data-collection system, emphasizing pretraining on real-world scene data followed by post-training with hybrid force/position control; its robots are already deployed at scale in pharmacies. In February 2026 it closed a Series A of several hundred million RMB led by C Capital, followed in June by strategic investment from institutions including SJTU's AI Future Fund, and in August it released a technical preview of its embodied world-action model, Noe-0.

ExampleA pharmacy medicine-picking robot: it needs no changes to the existing shelving, fits in about 2.5 square meters, and connects directly to the store's order system.
