Current platform

MagicBot Z1

MagicLab (also styled Magic Atom; registered as Magiclab Robotics Technology in Wuxi; founded around late 2023 and incubated by Dreame Technology, the cordless-vacuum maker) was started by Wu Changzheng, who previously led Xiaomi's CyberDog quadruped program, a credible pedigree. It makes the MagicBot humanoid and the high-dynamics MagicBot Z1, unveiled in Beijing on July 8, 2025 at roughly 140 cm, 40 kg, and 24 to 49 degrees of freedom on in-house actuators, marketed through agile-motion demos such as side-flips and martial-arts moves. It raised a 150 million yuan (about $20.6 million) angel round reported by tier-one Chinese business press, followed by a later strategic round. The registry records it at an early pilot maturity: there is real money, a credible founder, and genuine factory demo footage, but the order book splits into 130 million yuan signed versus 500 million yuan merely intended, and the Dreame relationship is partly captive, with the incubator buying its own portfolio robot rather than an arm's-length third-party. A widely repeated claim that MagicBot 'sold out on JD.com within minutes' after the 2026 Spring Festival Gala traces only to an SEO blog and is not verified, and the agile-motion clips are staged-demo capability rather than verified field capability.
