Targeting AI's Move into the Physical World, Kaiyu Launches Its First Humanoid Robot

Central News Agency, Hsinchu, 10th (Reporter Zhang Jianzhong) – Kaiyu today announced the launch of its first humanoid robot, marking its entry into the field of embodied intelligence. The company aims to seize the business opportunities arising from the accelerating shift of artificial intelligence (AI) into the physical world, injecting new growth momentum into its future operations.

In a press release issued today, Kaiyu stated that the company started its business with IC design. In recent years, with resource support from the Yinglin Group, it has undergone an operational transformation, expanding its business landscape from the semiconductor field to include construction, green energy, and smart manufacturing.

Regarding its layout in smart manufacturing, Kaiyu pointed out that its self-developed AMR (Autonomous Mobile Robot) has been on the market for several years, helping customers reduce factory labor costs, accelerate production process automation, and move towards the goal of smart factories.

Kaiyu stated that it can provide customized control software development services based on the actual needs of customers in different industries, and integrate with customers' existing ERP or MES systems to help them monitor inventory levels, shipment items and quantities in real-time, thereby improving warehouse management efficiency and operational transparency.

Kaiyu noted that its AMR products include lifting types, cart types, and forklift types, which can flexibly support handling needs in different environments. They also have the ability to enter and exit elevators and move between floors, helping to improve factory logistics dispatch efficiency and strengthen competitiveness in the smart manufacturing market.

Regarding the newly launched humanoid robot, Kaiyu stated that it is not merely an imitation of human appearance, but an intelligent carrier integrating AI, advanced manufacturing, bionic structures, and sensing technologies.

Kaiyu pointed out that its core architecture includes a 'brain' responsible for semantic understanding, autonomous judgment, and task planning; a 'cerebellum' controlling gait, balance, and complex movements; and a perception and limb system composed of 3D vision, LiDAR, force sensors, and high-power-density actuators.

Kaiyu stated that through multi-degree-of-freedom joints and bionic dexterous hands, the humanoid robot can perform tasks such as handling, inspection, assembly, and fine manipulation. This allows the machine to not just passively execute commands, but to possess the ability to understand the environment, respond to needs, and continuously learn.

Kaiyu indicated that with the launch of the humanoid robot product, the company is transitioning from hardware manufacturing to software-hardware integration, upgrading to a smart platform. It will further target business opportunities in future factories, logistics, and service domains. The Yinglin Group will seize the growth opportunities of this new wave of smart automation.

Kaiyu stated that as AI models, sensors, motors, reducers, and control systems gradually mature, humanoid robots will accelerate from display products towards commercialization. In the short term, they will be first adopted in industrial and logistics settings. In the medium to long term, there is potential for expansion into medical, elderly care, and home services, becoming an important carrier for the embodiment of AI, and injecting new growth momentum into operations.
