At the 2026 mid-year corporate assembly, Zhiyuan Robotics declared that, owing to its outstanding performance in the first half of the year, it would bestow a "Mid-Year Special Performance Bonus" on all permanent staff. This bonus, amounting to one month's fixed salary, will be disbursed concurrently with the July payroll. Notably, even former employees will be eligible to receive a prorated bonus, calculated based on their service duration from January to June. Presently, the company boasts a workforce of approximately 1,500 individuals.

Since its inception in February 2023, Zhiyuan Robotics has witnessed exponential growth. In June 2026, the company celebrated a significant milestone as its 15,000th general-purpose embodied robot rolled off the assembly line. This achievement underscores the company's expanding mass production capacity and its diverse array of innovative product offerings.

Financially, Zhiyuan Robotics has demonstrated remarkable prowess. In 2025, its revenue soared past the 1 billion yuan mark, making it the fastest robotics and AI enterprise in China to attain this feat. The company continued its strong performance in the first quarter of 2026, meeting its revenue targets with aplomb. Based on the income calculations for 2025 and the first quarter of 2026, Zhiyuan has solidified its position as the world's preeminent general-purpose AI robotics company.

Furthermore, Zhiyuan Robotics has successfully secured 10 rounds of financing from over 50 esteemed institutions, with its valuation now surpassing 20 billion yuan. The company has also embarked on the process for a Hong Kong IPO, which, if successful, will establish an "A+H" dual-capital platform, enhancing its global financial presence.

On the industry front, the field of embodied AI has experienced rapid evolution. In 2025 and the first quarter of 2026, there was a notable surge in financing amounts and deal volumes. Industrial and specialty robots continue to dominate the financing landscape. The competitive landscape in industrial embodied AI is shifting from a focus on individual product performance to system-level integrated capabilities, indicating that market competition is poised to become even more fierce.
