Robbyant

An embodied-AI company under Ant Group that open-sources the LingBot family of robot models.

Robbyant is the embodied-AI company under Ant Group (the fintech affiliate of Alibaba), with the slogan “a brain for every robot,” targeting service scenarios such as eldercare, medical assistance, and housework, and building both models and complete robots. Starting in January 2026, it began open-sourcing its LingBot model family in quick succession: LingBot-Depth (depth completion for transparent and reflective objects), LingBot-VLA (a vision-language-action model pretrained on about 20,000 hours of real-robot data), LingBot-World (an interactive world model adapted from Alibaba's Tongyi Wanxiang video model), and LingBot-VA (a world-action model); LingBot-VLA, LingBot-World, and LingBot-VA were all later upgraded to version 2.0. According to its LinkedIn page, its GitHub repository passed 30,000 stars within 200 days. Hardware listed on its website includes the Robbyant R2 robot with swappable dexterous hands and grippers.

ExampleResearchers can take LingBot-VLA's open-source weights and fine-tune them on a small amount of data from their own dual-arm robot to do tabletop manipulation.
