About Zhongke Huiling

Zhongke Huiling — legally Beijing Zhongke Huiling Robot Technology Co., Ltd., incubated by the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Automation — was founded in Beijing in August 2023 and sells humanoid robots under the CASBOT brand. It is deliberately full-stack: robot bodies, an embodied-intelligence ‘brain’, and dexterous hands are all developed in-house. Its release timeline shows the CASBOT 01 full-size bipedal humanoid in late 2024, the second-generation CASBOT 02 in June 2025, the wheeled CASBOT W1 in August 2025 and the Handle-L1 lightweight dexterous hand. The company states it has more than 100 employees, over three-quarters of them in research and development roles.

The commercial emphasis is industrial rather than theatrical: target sectors are manufacturing, mining and energy, and commercial services. The company has disclosed shoe-making robot orders worth more than US$55 million for 2026, with production scheduled in the thousands of units, and reports cycle times from a footwear plant in Putian — seven seconds per sole-stamping cycle — in funding coverage. Its financing mirrors that delivery story: angel rounds passing RMB 100 million cumulatively by February 2025, an angel+ round of nearly RMB 100 million in June 2025 led by Lens Technology (per the company’s own timeline), and a further round of several hundred million yuan in October 2026 — exact amount undisclosed — with Zhilai Investment, Yonghua Investment and Maotian Investment among the investors.

Products & services

• CASBOT 02 humanoid — second-generation full-size bipedal humanoid robot for industrial and service scenarios.
• CASBOT W1 — wheeled embodied-intelligence robot for environments where legs are unnecessary.
• CASBOT Handle-L1 — highly integrated, lightweight general-purpose dexterous hand.
• Embodied brain and control stack — the company’s in-house embodied-intelligence models and control system spanning its robot bodies.

Why Zhongke Huiling is listed: Most humanoid companies sell demonstrations; Zhongke Huiling is disclosing named industrial orders — footwear manufacturing, in thousands of units — with a state-research pedigree behind the engineering. For North American manufacturers and investors tracking which Chinese humanoid firms convert pilots into production contracts, that order book is the fact that matters.

3 questions to ask this company

1. Are the US$55M+ footwear orders firm contracts with delivery penalties, or framework agreements — and how many units shipped in 2026?
2. The June 2025 round is labelled angel+ in your own timeline but Series A in some coverage — which is correct, and does it affect the current round’s structure?
3. Is there any export, licensing or overseas service plan for CASBOT robots, or is capacity fully absorbed by Chinese industrial demand?
