36Kr has learned that the large model robot company - Beijing Xiaoyu Intelligent Manufacturing Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Xiaoyu Intelligent Manufacturing") has completed a 100 million yuan Series A round of financing.
This round of financing is exclusively invested by Beijing Information Industry Development Investment Fund. This is the second time that Xiaoyu Intelligent Manufacturing has obtained financing at the 100 million yuan level after obtaining 100 million yuan investment in the angel round from Xiaomi Group, Professor Wang Tianmiao, and Beijing Institute of Intelligent Sources.
"Xiaoyu Intelligent Manufacturing" was founded in 2023 by the core founding team of Xiaomi Group, focusing on the development of large model robot technology applicable to the industrial field, creating a "general brain" for robots that can adapt to various tasks.
In terms of the team, the founder of "Xiaoyu Intelligent Manufacturing", Qiao Zhongliang, as one of the initial members of Xiaomi, once served as the head of MIUI research and development; the co-founder, Wang Wenlin, formerly served as the general manager of Xiaomi Software System Platform Department, and led the development of "Xiaomi Brain". The core team members are from Xiaomi, Microsoft, Huawei, ByteDance, etc.
In terms of products, "Xiaoyu Intelligent Manufacturing" has developed the "Xiaoyu Brain" general robot brain, enabling robots to perform various tasks in an industrial environment. Currently, "Xiaoyu Intelligent Manufacturing" has formed a set of independently developed robot large model solutions, with the main characteristics of high precision, high robustness, and high generalization.
According to the introduction, this set of solutions includes:
- Intelligent Perception and Decision-making Engine: Independently developed a set of general visual task models with dynamic resolution and multi-modal task decision-making models, which can achieve a 5-centimeter-level resolution for end-side robot navigation and a millimeter-level resolution for operations. At the same time, the system supports high-level task planning and decision-making based on multi-modal models, improving the adaptability of robots in complex environments.
- High-Precision Motion Control Technology: Independently developed a high-precision robot motion control model based on simulation and deep reinforcement learning, achieving millimeter-level precision control, ensuring the stability and accuracy of robots when performing fine operations, and significantly improving the operation precision and reliability of industrial robots.
- Dynamic Real-time Closed-loop Control: Optimized the full-link closed-loop control system of perception, decision-making, and real-time control to ensure the high adaptability and response speed of robot operations, enabling it to maintain an efficient and stable working state in a dynamic environment.
- Modular Intelligent System Architecture: Adopts a modular design, supports rapid integration and expansion, and can flexibly adapt to the needs of different industrial application scenarios. This architecture not only improves the maintainability and scalability of the system but also simplifies the development and deployment process of new functions.
- Self-Learning and Self-Optimization Capability: The robot equipped with "Xiaoyu Brain" has self-learning and self-optimization capabilities, which can continuously optimize its own performance and improve task execution efficiency by continuously accumulating operational experience. This feature enables the robot to continuously improve and maintain efficient operation in a complex and changeable industrial environment.
In terms of landing applications, in July this year, "Xiaoyu Intelligent Manufacturing" and Panasonic announced an all-round strategic cooperation in the field of intelligent robots in non-standard industrial scenarios. The two sides will jointly expand the intelligent welding robot market using large model technology to create easy-to-use and efficient intelligent welding robot products for customers.
In addition, "Xiaoyu Intelligent Manufacturing" has also launched strategic cooperation with a leading construction machinery enterprise and several leading construction structure enterprises. At the same time, "Xiaoyu Intelligent Manufacturing" is making layouts in the aerospace, shipbuilding, and other fields, and a series of joint operations are gradually being carried out in the industrial chain.
"Xiaoyu Intelligent Manufacturing" stated that in the next ten years, the company will continue to deeply cultivate the manufacturing industry. Through the new technology model of "large model + manufacturing", it will work with leading enterprises in various industries to create an ecological platform, jointly improve the industry's development efficiency, and accelerate the intelligent upgrade of China's manufacturing industry.
