Dexteleop Intelligence
Lingyu Intelligence is a Tsinghua-affiliated technology company founded in February 2025, focusing on embodied intelligence. Its core product is a teleoperation robotic system, and it aims to drive commercialization through a three-step strategy of “hardware deployment → data accumulation → capability output.” Below are the key details: ### Company Overview * **Background**: Founded in Beijing in February 2025 by a team from the Department of Automation at Tsinghua University. The company is led by CEO Jin Ge (formerly a hard-tech investor) and Chief Scientist Mo Yilin (a tenured associate professor at Tsinghua University). * **Mission**: To become a practical benchmark in embodied intelligence by focusing on teleoperation technology, solving challenges in robotic data collection and operation latency, and promoting applications in service, industrial, and commercial scenarios. ### Core Products and Technology #### TA lite Robot * **Starting price: RMB 79,900**, making it the lowest-priced mass-produced retail wheeled humanoid robot in the industry, with a strong emphasis on cost-effectiveness. * **Technical breakthroughs**: * Image latency reduced to as low as 100 ms * Operation latency only 50 ms * Enables near real-time control with “imperceptible” delay for human operators * Uses VR devices for data collection at a cost of only thousands of RMB, replacing traditional motion-capture systems that can cost millions. * **Design philosophy**: * Prioritizes practical functionality over humanoid appearance * Designed for industrial and commercial applications such as logistics sorting and remote inspection ### Business Model and Progress #### Three-Step Strategy 1. **Sell the robot hardware** Rapidly penetrate the market with TA lite, which has already entered pilot testing in sectors such as specialized industries and logistics sorting. 2. **Sell data** Use real-world operational data to improve AI models and establish industry barriers. 3. **Sell capabilities** Eventually provide standardized control algorithms and transform into an intelligent service provider. ### Financing and Commercialization * Completed a **multi-million RMB seed round** in May 2025 * Completed a **10+ million RMB seed+ round** in August 2025 * Completed a **tens-of-millions RMB angel round** in March 2026 * Total funding has reached nearly **RMB 100 million** The company plans to begin mass production and deploy robots into real-world scenarios within 2026.
