Robots & AI

Former Li Auto smart driving head Lang Xianpeng has founded an embodied AI company, teaming up with an Alibaba veteran.

Li Auto is reportedly developing robots through a secret project codenamed "Nexus" and plans to release its first two-wheeled robot later this year.

Xiaomi's humanoid robot successfully operated autonomously for 3 consecutive hours at a self-tapping nut assembly station in its EV factory.

Xpeng's humanoid robot production base will span about 110,000 square meters, covering processes from R&D to large-scale manufacturing.

RoboSense sold 459,600 units in the fourth quarter of 2025, with robotics LiDAR accounting for nearly half of the volume.

Li Auto's autonomous driving architect Lang Xianpeng is set to depart after transitioning to lead the company's humanoid robot unit two weeks ago.

MirrorMe has unveiled Bolt, which achieved a peak running speed of 10 meters per second in real-world testing.

This marks Nio Capital's second recent investment in a robotics company.

The vision for AI is reshaping automotive companies' organizational structures, with Xpeng being the latest example.

LimX Dynamics was founded in January 2022, with its co-founder coming from WeRide.
