Westlake Robotics develops unified whole-body large-motion models (GAE) and a dual pretraining architecture that separates a "big brain" (perception and high-level decision) and a "little brain" (millisecond-scale whole-body motion execution). It has released the self-developed humanoid robot body Westlake o1 (2026) and built an end-to-end stack linking algorithms, models, and hardware to create a closed loop of hardware testing, data feedback, and model iteration. The company prioritizes real-world data collection by deploying robots in practical scenarios to gather high-quality whole-body posture and interaction data for training. Its research team includes academics and industry alumni from top universities and companies, with over 300 papers published at conferences such as ICML, NeurIPS, CVPR, and RSS. Financially, Westlake Robotics raised 500 million yuan across four rounds within six months, including a recently completed Series A, to fund R&D and talent development in embodied intelligence.
