Founded in 2021 by Jia Kui, a professor at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (Shenzhen), Cobot AI builds simulation-driven embodied intelligence powered by its DexVerse™ engine to compress R&D cycles for robot adaptation. The company implements a world-model approach (Dexterity-BEV) that aligns multi-camera and sensor observations into a unified 3D coordinate system to improve generalization across different robot embodiments. Cobot AI pursues a two-pronged commercial strategy: licensing model capabilities to third-party robotic arms for precision manufacturing tasks and deploying its DexForce W1 humanoid robots in service scenarios such as coffee, smart retail, and tourism guidance. Its products and technologies have been deployed across more than 50 niche industries, with humanoid-robot shipments reaching the hundreds-of-units level in the first half of 2026. Cobot AI reported revenue exceeding 100 million yuan in 2025 and said it expects revenue to triple year-on-year in 2026; during the May Day holiday it recorded peak single-store revenue above 100,000 yuan across more than a dozen stores.
