A post-1995 entrepreneur has received lead investment from Inno Angel.

During the world's first half - marathon for humanoid robots, Langyi empowered nearly 50% of the participating robots.

While humanoid robot startups are experiencing a financing boom, upstream robot suppliers are also on the rise and have become a hot topic closely watched by capital.

Recently, Langyi Robotics announced the completion of an angel - round financing of tens of millions of yuan. This round of financing was led by Inno Angel Fund, followed by Jiadao Capital, and the old shareholder Miracle Plus continued to increase its investment.

Langyi Robotics stated that the funds from this round of financing will be mainly used for the mass production and technological upgrading of embodied navigation modules, the continuous iteration and data accumulation of spatial intelligence algorithms, and the ecological co - construction with humanoid robot manufacturers, further accelerating the large - scale implementation of robots in scenarios such as autonomous guided tours, security inspections, industrial operations, mall services, family companionship, and elderly care.

Langyi Robotics was founded in 2020. Its founder and CEO, Yang Hongcheng, is a post - 1995 entrepreneur. He graduated from the School of Electrical Engineering at Chongqing University for his undergraduate studies and then pursued a doctorate at Huazhong University of Science and Technology. The core team members of the company have more than a decade of cumulative experience in the fields of spatial intelligence algorithm research and development and robot product development, and have previously served on robot platforms such as Huawei and DJI.

Langyi Robotics told reporters from Venture Capital Daily that the company is committed to becoming the "intelligent center" of humanoid robots and positions itself as a supplier of intelligent embodied robots. Its products focus on embodied navigation modules, enabling humanoid, wheel - legged, and wheeled robots to achieve full autonomous movement in complex indoor and outdoor scenarios.

The company said that currently, Langyi has served dozens of leading domestic and foreign robot manufacturers, and the market share of its related products is as high as 60%. During the world's first half - marathon for humanoid robots, Langyi empowered nearly 50% of the participating robots. According to the company, the company's orders also increased significantly after the competition.

According to a leading humanoid robot manufacturer, a customer of Langyi Robotics, Langyi's navigation module helped it solve 80% of the underlying development problems, and it passed the autonomous navigation and obstacle - avoidance test in a complex warehouse environment on the day of connection.

Traditional robots mostly rely on preset paths or closed scenarios, which greatly limit their flexibility and market value. What Langyi Robotics solves is the spatial intelligence and generalized navigation ability of AGI robots.

In terms of technical implementation, the navigation system developed by Langyi Robotics includes each joint of the robot's whole body in the obstacle - avoidance control scope, allowing the robot to move flexibly in narrow, complex, and dynamic indoor and outdoor environments. Simply put, a humanoid robot equipped with Langyi Robotics' embodied cerebellum module can walk autonomously and avoid obstacles on the way without manual remote control.

Yang Hongcheng, the founder and CEO of Langyi Robotics, said that the ultimate mission of humanoid robots is to become "general labor force", and spatial intelligence is the core technology to achieve this goal. Regarding the next plan, he said that after this round of financing, the company will increase R & D investment, aiming to achieve a leap from traditional pre - programming to full autonomous movement, and empower robots to achieve full autonomous movement and obstacle - avoidance, high - level spatial reasoning, and generalized environmental interaction capabilities in various scenarios.
