Overview
DexTeleop Robotics (灵御智能, LingYu Robotics) is a Beijing-based embodied AI company founded in February 2025 by a team from the Tsinghua University Department of Automation. Led by CEO Jin Ge and Chief Scientist Mo Yilin (a tenured Tsinghua associate professor), the company builds wheeled humanoid teleoperation robots under the TeleAvatar brand for real-world data collection and commercial deployment.
Its three-step strategy — sell hardware, accumulate operational data, then output autonomous AI capabilities — has driven pilots in JD 7Fresh supermarkets and a 1,000-unit strategic order from Suzhou Pangolin Robot. Starting price is RMB 79,900 for the TA Lite model, making it among the most affordable mass-produced teleoperation humanoids in China.
