Who’s involved
AI² Robotics (Zhipingfang) is a Shenzhen-based [Embodied intelligence](/companies/embodied-intelligence) company founded in April 2023 by Dr. Guo Yandong, developing general-purpose humanoid robots powered by its self-developed GOVLA end-to-end VLA foundation model. The company's AlphaBot series robots are deployed across semiconductor manufacturing, biotechnology, airports, and new retail scenarios, with a production line capable of over 2,000 units annually. Zhipingfang raised nearly CNY 5 billion (approximately USD 700M) in total financing as of June 2026, reaching a valuation above CNY 20 billion and becoming the first embodied intelligence unicorn in the Greater Bay Area to exceed that threshold
