Zeroth Robotics

RawGraph

Zeroth Robotics (stylized as zeroth) is a robotics company developing interactive artificial intelligence robots for consumer and commercial markets. The company operates under Suzhou JoyIn Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd., a high-tech enterprise based in China that focuses on robotics and AI research. Chinese-language press and English trade coverage give the registered Chinese entity as 苏州乐享智能科技有限公司, rendered in English as Suzhou Lexiang Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. and usually shortened to Lexiang Technology; in China the robots are sold under the brand 元点智能 (Zeroth).[12][15] Founded in December 2024, Zeroth combines advanced AI, embodied intelligence, and a global supply chain to build humanoid robots and mobile robots for homes, schools, and organizations.[12][23] At CES 2026 in Las Vegas, the company emerged from stealth with its official US launch and a lineup of five robots, anchored by the Zeroth M1 humanoid home companion, the Zeroth W1 hauler with a clear visual reference to Pixar's WALL-E, and a separate Disney-licensed WALL-E character robot intended for classrooms and retail.[1][2]

The company has drawn attention for pricing its flagship humanoid below $3,000, well under the cost of most full-size humanoid platforms aimed at industrial buyers. Its leadership team is built around veterans of Chinese consumer robotics firms Ecovacs and Dreame, and the founders publicly frame Zeroth as a bet on "consumer-grade embodied intelligence."[3][4] On 2 July 2026 the company announced a pre-Series A round of close to 500 million yuan led by Ant Group, the Alibaba affiliate that operates Alipay. CNBC reported the round as 500 million yuan, or about $73.58 million, and Zeroth said the raise took its cumulative funding to 1 billion yuan.[12][13][14]

History

Zeroth Robotics was founded in December 2024 under the Suzhou JoyIn Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. corporate umbrella, with the stated goal of making interactive AI robots accessible to families, educators, and businesses. The company is based in the Wuzhong economic development zone in Suzhou, Jiangsu province, and CNBC dates its founding to late 2024.[1][3][12][23] It developed its technology quietly before bringing its first products to a public stage in the United States in 2026, though it was already visible in China through 2025: its tracked robot, marketed domestically as W-bot and nicknamed WaWa, was shown at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference and the World Robot Conference, appeared as a robot "team leader" at a Jiangsu city football league match in Suzhou on 20 July 2025, and a first-generation WaWa prototype sold at a JD.com auction on 3 June 2025 for 29,799 yuan.[21][22]

The company launched its Chinese consumer brand, 元点智能 (Zeroth), on 31 December 2025. At that event it said it had booked the first order at the 100-million-yuan level in consumer embodied intelligence and had reached revenue at the 10-million-yuan level, and it showed the W1 tracked robot and the M1 mini humanoid alongside a full-size humanoid that appeared in the brand film.[25]

In January 2026, Zeroth held its official US debut at CES 2026 in Las Vegas, at booth #10748 in the North Hall. The launch unveiled a lineup of five interactive AI robots for consumer and commercial buyers: a small desktop humanoid, a wheeled hauler robot, a quadruped developer platform, a Disney-licensed character robot, and a full-size humanoid for service and research environments. The booth focused on live demonstrations of the M1 and the W1, with the larger Jupiter humanoid shown in preview form.[1][2][5]

The CES debut attracted significant media attention. Coverage in outlets including Yanko Design, DesignRush, RoboHorizon, and The AI Insider highlighted the company's approachable design, its accessible pricing relative to most humanoid robot startups, and the unusual decision to ship a small bipedal humanoid as a first product rather than a wheeled assistant.[2][4][5][6] Commentators noted that the sub-$3,000 M1 sits well below typical full-size humanoid prices, which often range from roughly $50,000 to more than $150,000.[5]

Two months later the company returned to a Chinese stage. At AWE 2026 (Appliance and Electronics World Expo) in Shanghai on 12 March 2026, Zeroth gave the N1 home collaborative robot its first public showing and set out a brand framing it calls the "mirror partner," the idea that a home robot should reflect its household rather than outperform it, resting on what the company describes as three capabilities: soul, brain, and heart. The same stand showed the M1 guardian robot and the Disney-licensed WALL-E companion, marketed in China as 小瓦力 (Little WALL-E).[26][27][28][29]

Zeroth expects its full lineup to roll out in the US through 2026. Pre-orders for the M1 and W1 were scheduled to open in the first quarter of 2026, with general availability and shipping expected to start in April 2026.[1][6] That schedule moved: founder Guo Renjie told CNBC at the start of July 2026 that he planned to begin overseas sales in North America and Europe in the autumn of 2026, once the company had cleared local compliance requirements.[12] As of 31 July 2026 the company's online store took reservations rather than orders for the M1, W1, and Jupiter, and listed a separate $30 M1 deposit item described as refundable and as locking in a launch-day price.[9][19][20][33]

Funding

Zeroth raised four disclosed rounds in the 19 months after it was founded. The first three were labelled angel, angel+ and angel++ and were reported by Chinese business press between February 2025 and September 2025; the fourth, a pre-Series A led by Ant Group, was announced on 2 July 2026 and is the round that put the company in international headlines.[12][17][23]

Sources for the table: ifeng Finance and 21st Century Business Herald for the angel rounds and their valuations, Geek Park and DoNews for the angel++ round, and CNBC, Sina Technology and The Beijing News for the pre-Series A.[13][14][21][22][23][24]

The company's own investor page states that angel-stage financing passed $70 million as of October 2025 and describes the company as "valuing over 351M USD," a figure that lines up with the roughly 2.5 billion yuan post-money valuation reported after the angel++ round, although the page does not label it as a valuation.[17][22] Lighthouse Capital acted as exclusive financial adviser on the pre-Series A, as it had on the angel+ round.[23][32]

CNBC framed the pre-Series A as part of a pattern rather than a one-off: it was the twelfth humanoid-robotics investment Ant Group had made since the start of 2025 by CNBC's analysis of PitchBook data, alongside stakes in companies such as Galaxea and Unitree. Ant had also set up its own humanoid robot subsidiary, RobbyAnt, in late 2024, and Zeroth said it wanted to work with Ant on the robotics-friendly version of Alipay.[12] The Chinese announcements said proceeds would go to in-house work on six core technologies, hiring, and overseas channel expansion.[13][15]

Two commercial figures accompanied the round and are company claims rather than audited results. Zeroth said it held more than 30,000 units in orders as of early July 2026, and that operating revenue in the first half of 2026 rose 600 percent year on year. CNBC, The Beijing News, Gasgoo and China Economic Times all repeated the figures as the company's own.[12][14][15][31] Neither the order backlog nor the revenue base has been broken down by product or market.

Leadership

Zeroth's leadership team is built from senior operators in China's home robotics industry. The company's public materials and trade press coverage have identified three executives, each linked to large consumer robotics businesses.[3]

RoleNameBackground
Chief executive officerGuo RenjieFormer China president of Dreame, which scaled home cleaning robot operations to multi-billion-dollar annual revenue. Previously worked at Procter & Gamble. Entered Xi'an Jiaotong University at age 15 with degrees in engineering and economics.
Chief operating officerWang HuiAbout 17 years at Ecovacs across R&D, supply chain, and marketing. Involved in the launch of more than 50 robot products.
Chief technology officerTang JinjuFormer chief technology officer of Ecovacs, with more than 20 years of experience in robotics technology leadership.

Chinese coverage fills in Guo Renjie's record in more detail. He was born in 1997, entered the youth class at Xi'an Jiaotong University at 15 to study energy and power engineering, took a master's degree in economics at the London School of Economics, and became China executive president of Dreame at 26, where reports credit him with a business reaching 6 billion yuan of annual revenue and a team of more than 1,500 people. He left Dreame in 2024 and founded the company later that year.[21][23][24][30] Two more executives appeared in the AWE 2026 coverage: chief brand officer Hua Rong and innovation business partner Li Yuanqing.[27][28]

Geek Park reported 90 staff in September 2025, more than 80 percent of them in R&D, with core engineers drawn from Tsinghua University, Zhejiang University, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the University of California, Berkeley, and Carnegie Mellon University.[21]

The combination of Dreame and Ecovacs alumni is a notable signal. Both companies are dominant players in the Chinese robot vacuum market, the largest mass-produced category of mobile robots in homes worldwide. The choice to build a humanoid product line on that background has shaped how Zeroth positions itself: as an extension of consumer-grade home robotics into more general-purpose machines, rather than a competitor to industrial humanoid robotics firms.[3][4]

Products

Zeroth's announced lineup at CES 2026 spans five robots that share a common technology base but target different price points and use cases. The shared platform, marketed as "Technology DNA," is meant to let the team port motion and interaction software across form factors rather than rebuild it for each new model.[1][5] A sixth machine, the N1 home collaborative robot, was added at AWE 2026 in March.[27]

The small price differences across sources reflect different price quotes during the CES event. Official Zeroth materials at launch listed the M1 starting at $2,899, the W1 at $5,599, and Jupiter at $89,999.[1][2][6] Those prices have since moved. As of 31 July 2026 the company's store listed the M1 at $2,499 and the W1 at $7,999, with Jupiter unchanged at $89,999.[9][19][20]

Zeroth M1

The Zeroth M1 is the lead product of Zeroth's US launch, a small bipedal humanoid robot for the home. It is roughly 19.4 to 19.5 inches tall (about 494 mm), small enough to sit on a desk or move around indoor floors. The starting price is $2,499 as of July 2026, in the same band as a high-end laptop rather than the band of full-size humanoids.[1][6][19]

SpecificationDetail
HeightAbout 19.4 to 19.5 inches (roughly 494 mm)
AI platformGoogle Gemini
Starting price$2,499 (listed July 2026); $2,899 at CES 2026

Self-recoveryCan stand back up from both on-desk and on-floor falls
Developer featuresOpen multi-language programming platform, VR integration, reinforcement learning tools
Target usersFamilies, older adults, robotics enthusiasts

The M1 is designed to be approachable for users of all ages, with a particular pitch toward independent living for older adults. It delivers reminders, runs short conversations, and provides light safety awareness such as fall or emergency recognition. It can operate on desktops as well as floors, and Zeroth has shown that the robot can recover from falls in either setting without human help.[6][7] Zeroth describes the M1 as the first servo-driven robot to use reinforcement learning for its motion control, a company claim that has not been independently tested.[26][28]

For language and reasoning, the M1 runs on Google's Gemini model. The choice of a hosted foundation model rather than an in-house language stack lets the company focus its engineering on motion control, sensor fusion, and product form.[2][6]

Zeroth W1

The Zeroth W1 is a tracked, wheel-based service robot with a clear visual nod to Pixar's WALL-E. Zeroth has positioned the W1 as a non-licensed product, while the licensed WALL-E character robot is sold separately. The W1 is built for moving things around the home and light commercial spaces.[2][7]

SpecificationDetail
HeightAbout 22.6 inches
WeightAbout 44 pounds
PayloadAbout 110 pounds carry, with some sources noting 20 kg carry and 50 kg pull figures
Top speedAbout 1.1 mph (roughly 0.5 m/s)
CamerasIncludes a 13-megapixel camera
SensorsLiDAR, RGB cameras, additional onboard sensors for terrain and obstacle handling
DriveDual-tread design inspired by WALL-E's iconic treads
Power output120 W via USB-C, allowing use as a mobile power source
Processor8-core Horizon Sunrise series CPU
Price$7,999 (listed July 2026); $5,599 at CES 2026, with some early coverage citing $4,999

The W1 is positioned as a do-it-all home helper that can carry items between rooms, follow its owner, host party games, and take photographs. Its treads let it cross grass, pavement, and gravel, which broadens the situations where it can be used beyond the smooth indoor floors that most home robots assume.[5][7] The US product page leans harder on security than the CES messaging did, describing 24-hour patrol, 360-degree mobile surveillance, and smart-home alerting alongside the camping and outdoor use cases.[20] In the Chinese market the same machine is sold as W-bot, nicknamed WaWa, and Guo has said it is aimed in export markets at detached-house security, with video and interaction data processed on the robot or on a household network-attached storage device instead of in the cloud.[21][30]

Disney WALL-E robot

Zeroth has secured a license from Disney and Pixar to produce an official WALL-E character robot, distinct from the unlicensed W1. The licensed WALL-E is intended for classrooms, retail, theme parks, and other high-engagement environments. According to coverage of the CES launch, this is one of the first commercial robotics products built around a Disney animated character.[2][6] The Chinese version, 小瓦力, was shown at AWE 2026 with stranger recognition, live alerts, remote viewing, two-way audio, and an emergency call function.[28]

A1

A1 is Zeroth's quadruped platform, aimed at universities, robotics engineers, and R&D teams. CES materials described it as a developer preview rather than a consumer product, and no launch price has been announced.[5][6]

Jupiter

Jupiter is Zeroth's planned full-size humanoid robot. The company has positioned it as a service and training platform for real-world environments such as front-of-house service, simulation, and light commercial tasks.[8] It was formally presented as a product of the 元点智能 brand alongside the pre-Series A announcement in July 2026, described as a general-purpose machine meant to live in the home as a companion over the long term.[13]

SpecificationDetail
Height1.65 meters (about 65 inches)
PayloadAbout 5 kg per arm, with a deadlift capability of about 15 kg
ModesBoth teleoperation and autonomous navigation
SensorsRGB and stereo cameras, LiDAR, IMU, force and ultrasonic sensors
CapabilitiesBipedal walking, stair climbing, obstacle avoidance, dexterous manipulation for household tasks such as fetching items, surface wiping, and light assembly
SoftwareInternal "Zeroth World" simulation environment for behavior training
Reservation price$89,999

The price of $89,999 places Jupiter at the upper end of Zeroth's catalog, still well below the price tags of many comparable industrial humanoid platforms. Jupiter has been described as a longer-term bet that demonstrates the same software stack scaling from a desktop humanoid up to a human-scale machine.[8][9] The Jupiter page also displays a $131,999 figure beside the reservation button, which does not match the $89,999 price carried in the store's own product listing data.[9]

N1

N1, sold in China as 小恩, is a wheeled home collaborative robot that Zeroth premiered at AWE 2026 on 12 March 2026. Its distinguishing feature is what the company calls the world's first heterogeneous arm pair: the left arm is a telescoping structure built for stable lifting and carrying, and the right is a dexterous arm with a three-finger gripper for tasks such as twisting a bottle cap, opening a drawer, or picking up an egg. The right arm detaches and runs on its own on a tabletop, so the robot body and the detached arm can work as two units.[26][27][28]

SpecificationDetail
WeightAbout 30 kg
FootprintAbout 0.2 square meters, with a zero turning radius
Working heightShoulder rotation center adjustable from 63 cm to 128 cm
Battery life2 to 3 hours

Technology

Zeroth describes its technology base as "Technology DNA," a unified hardware-software stack designed to be shared across all five product lines. The company breaks this into three pillars.[1][5]

  1. Advanced motion control. Proprietary algorithms for natural and expressive movement, covering balance, gait, recovery from falls, and the social motions that make a humanoid feel alive rather than mechanical.
  2. Evolving interaction model. An AI-driven interaction system that is meant to improve through user engagement, software updates, and refinements to the language and perception layers. Zeroth has framed this as a way to keep robots useful long after purchase.
  3. Proprietary actuator engineering. Custom-designed actuators tuned to each robot form factor, with the goal of reducing size while keeping torque and reliability acceptable for home and commercial use. The actuator program is tied to the parent firm's manufacturing base in Suzhou.

The stack is shared across all robots, from the small M1 to the full-size Jupiter. The promise is that capabilities developed on one platform will port over to the others, and that software updates rather than hardware replacements will drive much of the value for owners.[5]

Six core technologies

The 2026 funding announcement described the same stack as six in-house technology areas, and named them as the destination for the new capital: body structure, general embodied intelligence models, vision-language-action models, joint modules, lightweight robotic arms, and what the company calls consciousness-mimicking models.[15]

The company's engineering page adds detail on each layer, all of it self-reported. On structure, it claims custom micro joint actuators with integrated drives, domestically sourced reducers, inertial measurement units and multi-modal sensors, and the use of powder metallurgy in motor and actuator design. On control, it claims whole-body reinforcement and imitation learning with 1,000 Hz balance control and recovery within 0.1 seconds, and navigation built on end-to-end vision-language navigation and a world model that supports semantic mapping and simulation-to-reality transfer. On manipulation, it claims a teleoperation platform with latency at or below 80 ms that feeds a demonstration-to-imitation-learning loop, which the company calls "teleoperation-as-data." It also states a 95 percent task success rate for its general agent work without describing the benchmark.[18]

Guo has given a plainer version of the same argument in interviews. He argues that legged locomotion is redundant for most household work, that a wheeled or tracked base with arms is cheaper and more efficient, and that a robot capable of manipulating knives is also capable of harming the people it lives with. His framing is that the technology worth transferring from the robot vacuum industry is level-2 driving-style mobility built on LiDAR and SLAM, and that the differentiator is proactive interaction rather than voice-command response.[30]

AI integration

The M1 integrates Google Gemini as its primary language and reasoning backbone, providing natural language understanding and generation, contextual awareness, and visual perception for recognizing people and situations. Safety functions, including fall detection and emergency recognition, sit on top of this perception layer. Other robots in the lineup are expected to share the same core interaction model, though the company has not been explicit about which foundation models will power the W1, A1, and Jupiter at launch.[1][2][6] Guo told CNBC that Zeroth's robots currently use chips from Horizon Robotics, and that the company deliberately sought investors with experience in industries such as smartphone chips.[12]

Sensors and perception

Across the lineup, the perception stack relies on a combination of LiDAR, RGB and stereo cameras, depth sensors, an inertial measurement unit, and various force and proximity sensors. The W1 leans on its LiDAR and RGB cameras to navigate mixed terrain, while Jupiter pairs visual mapping with indoor SLAM to support task planning.[6][7][8]

Business model

Zeroth targets three buyer categories. The consumer tier is anchored by the M1, listed at $2,499 in July 2026, and the W1 at $7,999. The commercial tier is built around the Disney-licensed WALL-E for classrooms, retail, and theme parks, plus Jupiter for service and training. The developer tier covers the A1 quadruped and Jupiter's autonomous and teleoperation modes, aimed at universities and research labs.[1][5][19][20]

The overall pricing strategy places Zeroth significantly below most humanoid robot firms. Many full-size industrial humanoids list at $50,000 to more than $150,000 and only ship to enterprise buyers. Zeroth has chosen to enter at the consumer level with the M1, while keeping a higher-margin developer and service tier in Jupiter.[5][9]

Two other elements of the model are visible from the company's own materials. The first is contract manufacturing: Zeroth says it runs end-to-end original-equipment work for other brands, with more than 80 audited suppliers, dual or multi-sourcing on 15 core materials, monthly capacity of 10,000 to 30,000 units, and annual output above 300,000 units. These are supplier-facing claims that no outside party has verified. The second is Guo's stated defensive plan against large incumbents: rather than fight on price when the category scales, he says he intends to supply finished chassis and robot frames to bigger consumer brands while keeping his own label on premium products.[18][30] Zeroth's product definition process also runs on high-frequency testing rather than a single bet, with six or seven configurations tooled at once and real pre-order data used to choose which one goes into volume production.[15][30]

Reception

Coverage at and after CES 2026 was broadly positive on the design and pricing of the M1 and W1, and broadly skeptical about whether the software performance can match the marketing. Trade outlets noted that no booth demo can answer the harder questions about reliability or the gap between a choreographed CES floor and real home use. The arrival of Zeroth also fits into a broader trend of Chinese consumer-electronics companies bringing humanoid robots to international markets at sharper price points than the first wave of US humanoid startups.[2][4][5][6]

The July 2026 round moved the company from a CES curiosity to a tracked name in the humanoid robot market. CNBC treated it as evidence of how fast Chinese platform companies are buying into embodied AI, and The AI Insider read the raise as capital for six technology areas plus hiring and international expansion. Independent verification of the company's commercial claims remains thin: the order book, the revenue growth rate, and the manufacturing capacity figures all trace back to Zeroth itself, and coverage through July 2026 consisted of launch reports, show reports, and funding reports rather than independent testing of a shipped robot.[12][16]

Disambiguation

The name "Zeroth Robotics" has also been associated with the Zeroth-01 (also branded Z-Bot or Stompy), an open-source, 3D-printed humanoid robot project hosted on GitHub at the zeroth-robotics organization. The Zeroth-01 was developed in connection with K-Scale Labs, a Palo Alto open-source humanoid startup, and was designed as a low-cost research and education platform with a bill of materials starting around $350. K-Scale Labs publicly announced in 2025 that it was winding down operations and releasing its proprietary intellectual property, including the K-Bot and Zeroth-01 hardware and software, under non-commercial licenses. The open-source Zeroth-01 project is not the same entity as the Suzhou JoyIn commercial company described in this article.[10][11]

The overlap is easy to trip over because Zeroth's Chinese-market names collide with it: domestic coverage calls the small humanoid Z-bot and the tracked robot W-bot, so "Z-Bot" refers to two unrelated machines depending on which company is meant.[21][30] The commercial entity is also referred to by at least four names in different sources: Zeroth or 元点智能 as the brand, Lexiang Technology or 乐享科技 as the operating company, 苏州乐享智能科技有限公司 (Suzhou Lexiang Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd.) as the registered Chinese name, and Suzhou JoyIn Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. in its own English materials.[3][12][15]
