About Zeroth

Zeroth is the consumer-robot brand of Suzhou JoyIn Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd., founded in Suzhou in December 2024. The company builds embodied-intelligence robots for the home and develops its core components, motion control and AI models in-house. Its portfolio spans the M1, a small humanoid; Jupiter, a full-size humanoid presented as a long-term home companion; the W1, a tracked robot for exploration and carrying tasks; and the N1, a home collaboration robot with a heterogeneous arm system. Zeroth’s stated philosophy is that home robots should be companions and ‘intelligent mirrors’ rather than purely functional tools — a positioning it applies to early-childhood education, smart-home and pet-companionship uses as well as general household presence.

The company emerged from stealth at CES 2026 in Las Vegas with a US market launch and a five-robot portfolio aimed at household, developer and light commercial buyers. In July 2026 it announced a pre-Series A round of about RMB 500 million (about US$74 million) led by Ant Group, with Geely Capital, 37 Interactive Entertainment, Hua Capital and Monolith participating, taking total funding to about US$147 million according to the company. Zeroth also reports more than 30,000 robot orders and 600% year-on-year revenue growth in the first half of 2026 — company-reported figures that this profile does not treat as independently verified.

Products & services

• M1 small humanoid — compact bipedal home robot for companionship, education and interaction; the first model to enter residential settings, per the company.
• Jupiter humanoid — full-size humanoid designed as a long-term home companion with general intelligent capabilities.
• W1 tracked robot — rugged tracked platform for outdoor exploration, carrying and pet companionship uses.
• N1 home collaboration robot — collaborative home robot with a heterogeneous robotic arm system.

Why Zeroth is listed: Consumer humanoids are a category North American retailers and distributors are actively scouting, and Zeroth is unusual in arriving with a US launch already staged, a multi-model portfolio rather than a single prototype, and a strategic shareholder in Ant Group — exactly the combination a US partner needs to diligence early rather than late.
