What is verified
It is made by Yingzhi XBOT, based in Nanjing, China and founded in 2022 by Tang Mu, a former Xiaomi ecosystem VP. The company builds vertical embodied-AI robots for catering, including coffee, ice-cream, and cocktail-making machines. It runs a 'one-brain-multiple-forms' architecture powered by its XOS 3.0 Embodied Operating System and a Zhiwei Catering Large Model. DEPLOY has 3 verified deployments on record, all in China: China (country-level), Nanjing, and Yiwu, Zhejiang.
What is company-reported, not independently verified
Yingzhi XBOT states that more than 1,000 XBOT coffee robots have been deployed across 100-plus cities globally, producing over 4 million cups. Treat those numbers as a company claim: they currently rest on a single trade-press source in the registry, not multiple independent confirmations. The verified footprint on file is the 3 named China deployments above.
DEPLOY has no verified price on record. For scale claims and pricing, go to the manufacturer.
