About

Hubei Qiling Robotics Co., Ltd. was incorporated on 2025-01-23 in Wuhan with about RMB 1.15 million in registered capital, led by legal representative Zhu Lijun, with a team originating from the Ding Han academician group at Huazhong University of Science and Technology. The company develops bipedal humanoid and quadruped robots together with core components. Its products are the Shennong bipedal humanoid - whose latest version shown in February 2026 has 43 degrees of freedom and a self-developed rotary joint motor peaking at 550 N-m, aimed at industrial use - and the Chitu quadruped series with a payload above 100 kg for safety patrol, disaster rescue and special emergency work, complemented by the self-developed "Qiling-Xuanjing" high-fidelity digital-twin simulation platform for pre-deployment virtual training. In November 2025 the company moved into the Suizhou (Wuhan) Offshore Innovation Center together with the launch of the Special-purpose Vehicle Emergency Equipment and Robotics Technology Innovation Alliance, with Shennong reported as entering industrial deployment and Chitu heading toward volume production; in May 2026 it signed a cooperation agreement with Suizhou Guotou Group and the Zengdu District government, and it licensed its full Shennong and Chitu technology system to Kaiqi Embodied Intelligence, a joint venture in which Kailong High Technology is the largest shareholder. The company is also a shareholder of Hubei Humanoid Robot Innovation Center Co., Ltd. It is a separate legal entity from Hubei Jingchu Humanoid Robotics.
