Hardcore Ke learned that Beijing LingSheng Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "LingSheng Technology"), which focuses on embodied intelligence, recently announced the completion of a tens of millions of angel round of financing. The investors include Tianrong Haishe, Wanwuwei Venture Capital, and Quake Electric. The financing funds will be used for the research and development of LingSheng's brain-like product line.

"LingSheng Technology" was established in 2023. Based on its self-created multi-modal perception fusion, decision-making and execution integrated system, it builds a new generation of general brain-like for humanoid and embodied intelligent robots. Among them, the cloud-edge-terminal integrated brain-like (Ling Cybrain) is its core competitiveness in the field of robot embodied intelligence.

Ling Cybrain is equivalent to the human central nervous system. Through this system, the robot can achieve the generalization and emergence of basic actions, including grasping, placing, pushing and pulling items. Secondly, Ling Cybrain can automatically choreograph the robot's actions and complete the online simulation of the actions, and finally transition from the simulation to the actual machine operation.

Ling Cybrain is divided into the ontology enabling layer, the action execution layer and the skill planning layer in the architecture, which are respectively responsible for the ontology closed-loop control, tactical execution and strategic planning. The three work together to enable various types of robots to interact with the surrounding environment like humans.

In industrial scenarios, there are often end-sorting tasks and fine operations, which require the robot to have a very strong hand-eye coordination ability. The multi-modal perception of vision, hearing and touch carried by the LingSheng brain-like platform can complete the millisecond-level perception fusion and realize the subsequent motion planning and execution of the robot.

In terms of the team, the founder of "LingSheng Technology", Yang Hongbing, graduated from Tsinghua University. He led a large-scale production and research team in Internet giants such as Tencent to complete the research and development and commercialization of AI and large-scale model products. Later, he served as the VP and AGI person in charge of a leading humanoid whole machine factory, and has the experience of batch delivery of humanoid and embodied intelligent robots. Yang Hongbing said: "The brain-like of 'LingSheng Technology' has initially possessed the horizontal expansion ability across hardware, manufacturers and models, which can greatly improve the human-computer interaction experience. Based on the strong universality of unstructured environments and complex tasks, it gradually improves the human-like adaptability of the robot and finally evokes the robot's spatial intelligence."

At present, "LingSheng Technology" has reached cooperation with many domestic and foreign component and main engine manufacturers, and will continue to collaborate with the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain in the future.

Investor Views:

Wang Jingbin, General Manager of Tianrong Haishe said: "We are full of confidence in LingSheng's continuous innovation and rapid growth ability. Humanoid robots integrate advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, high-end manufacturing, and new materials, and are expected to become a disruptive product after computers, smartphones, and new energy vehicles. Among them, the demand for brain-like and upper-level engineering platforms will continue to grow. With its excellent architectural design and system engineering capabilities, LingSheng not only provides an efficient brain-like solution for the humanoid robot industry, but also meets the flexible and variable needs of industry customers through standardization and modularization, continuously promoting the development of technology and the market. We believe that LingSheng will play a key role in the future field of robot brain-like and engineering platforms, and promote the accelerated evolution of humanoid robots in the industrial end."

Cheng Xiaohua, Founding Partner of Wanwuwei Venture Capital and Founder of Netac Technology (300042) said: "LingSheng robots have a deep and solid accumulation of embodied intelligence and humanoid robot technology, and also contain good product genes. Under the efforts of the founding team, the general brain-like iteration speed is very amazing, and it has already possessed the universality across hardware and multiple manufacturers. The ability to reach cooperation with the main engine manufacturers reflects LingSheng's good original intention and grand vision of building and enabling together with industry partners. The humanoid robot market is experiencing an explosive growth. In addition to the hardware and components such as joints, in order to achieve the industrialization of the real scene, the demand for an efficient and intelligent brain-like platform will increase increasingly. We believe that under the leadership of Yang Hongbing, LingSheng will definitely be one of the powerful players in the future embodied intelligence track. Everything has a spirit and is endless. I hope that the cooperation between Wanwuwei and LingSheng can become an excellent case in the industry!"

Wang Biaobiao, Chairman of Quake Electric said: "The first time I met Hongbing was at the Artificial Intelligence Conference. At that time, I was amazed by the advancement of the concept of embodied brain-like. And when I saw it again at the Robot Conference a month later, the LingSheng brain-like has been running in the bodies of many main engine manufacturers, and I am amazed by the product iteration speed and the execution ability of the LingSheng team. The LingSheng team has unique industry technical advantages in the large-scale model algorithm and platform, as well as a broad business vision and a stable commercialization promotion rhythm. We are optimistic about the team's continuous innovation ability and believe that they can achieve the lofty goal of enabling the embodied intelligence industry and become the leader in the birth of the robot silicon-based intelligence."
