Overview
Wuhan-based 库柏特科技 focuses on robot software and develops a robot operating system rather than robot hardware. Its core product is CobotSys, a hand-eye-brain collaborative intelligent operation system that embeds robot learning algorithms and provides perception and judgment capabilities. Relying on CobotSys, the company has built a product matrix including visual inspection, intelligent grasping, and intelligent force-control solutions. 库柏特 serves application scenarios across medical, food, and education industries. The company recently completed a near-RMB100 million B+ round from 沸点资本 and previously attracted investment from 合力投资、经纬中国、GGV and 蓝图创投. Proceeds will be used to polish intelligent robot systems and application products and to further deepen real-world scenario deployments. Cobot develops the Cobox intelligent robot system that combines vision and force-control technologies to enable industrial robots to perform complex tasks such as sorting, grinding, and flexible assembly. The company also offers a mechanical hand with high-precision force sensing for grinding tasks and provides rental options for customers unable to buy full hardware/software stacks. Cobot’s customers include robot manufacturers, system integrators, and large manufacturers; it has partnered with ABB, JD.com, Cainiao and several major integrators. The firm aims to make CobotSystem a universal intelligent system compatible with any industrial platform and plans to expand into healthcare and new retail. Cobot has about 70 employees (roughly 50 on vision and sensory R&D and 20 on deployment). Financially, Cobot recorded ¥25 million in sales this year, has secured ¥80 million in orders for the coming year, and expects revenue to reach ¥150 million in 2018.
