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.
