Suzhou JoyIn Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd.
Zeroth is the consumer robotics brand of Suzhou JoyIn Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd., founded in 2024 and headquartered in Suzhou, China, and filing under the Jiangsu ICP record 2025182809. It develops full-stack embodied-AI systems covering six technology areas: structural innovation, world models, VLA models, actuator modules, in-house robotic arms and biomimetic cognitive models. Its consumer portfolio is sold through its own store in three languages with prices in CNY and USD: the compact M1 home robot with interchangeable bipedal and wheeled modes, the tracked W1 mobile interaction robot, and the full-size Jupiter humanoid, alongside the N1 collaborative robot. The company positions its robots not as functional extensions or labour replacements but as intelligent mirrors that accompany daily life, a framing it contrasts with conquest and replacement. In July 2026 it announced a Pre-A round of nearly CNY 500 million led by Ant Group with Geely Capital, 37 Interactive Entertainment, Hua Capital and returning investor Monolith, taking cumulative funding to CNY 1 billion, alongside more than 30,000 robot orders and 600% year-on-year revenue growth in the first half of 2026. Earlier, in October 2025, it had closed three angel rounds totalling more than USD 70 million at a reported valuation of USD 351 million, and in January 2026 it held a global brand launch in Las Vegas followed by CES 2026.
