Xingyuanzhi Robotics

星源智Advanced

A BAAI-incubated embodied-brain company in Beijing pursuing a hardware-software-integrated, on-device deployment approach.

Xingyuanzhi Robotics was founded in Beijing on August 1, 2025, incubated by the Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence (BAAI). Founder and CEO Dong Liu previously served as general manager of JD's autonomous-driving unit; co-founder Yadong Mu is a researcher at Peking University and a BAAI scholar. The company does not build robot bodies; instead it makes an “embodied brain” — an upper-level model that understands a scene and plans a task — that can be installed on different robots, following a hardware-software-integrated, on-device deployment approach that runs the large model directly on the robot itself rather than depending on the cloud. Within a month of founding it closed a RMB 200 million angel round, with investors including Casstar, Hillhouse, and Yuanhe Origin Capital; on June 3, 2026, it closed a Pre-A round, bringing cumulative funding to about RMB 1 billion within ten months of founding, aimed at embodied-brain and world-model R&D and mass production.
