Chinese Robotics Suppliers Directory
Every company we track, with a stated verification level: L1 self-reported, L2 document-verified, L3 site-verified. Public milestones carry sources — if we can't source a claim, we don't print it. Suppliers can't pay to be listed.
China's highest-volume legged-robotics maker — quadrupeds (Go2, B2), humanoids (G1, R1, H1) and an in-house component line (Dex5 hand, joint actuators, L2 LiDAR). Open SDKs and aggressive pricing make it the default first buy for research labs.
The most widely integrated dexterous-hand maker in Chinese humanoids. The RH56/FTP series is the deployed OEM default — conservative six-active-DOF engineering that trades dexterity ceiling for reliability, spare-part supply and cost.
Tactile-sensing specialist. The DexH13 GEN2 hand carries roughly 978 multi-dimensional taxels per hand at 0.01 N resolution plus an in-palm camera — arguably the densest commercially available tactile platform, aimed at manipulation-learning data collection.
Publishes a full DOF ladder from a sub-$1,500 SE hand to a 42-DOF L30 research flagship — more DOF than a human hand — with rare list-price transparency. Reported to hold the majority of China's high-DOF research-hand segment.
Tsinghua-linked maker of the XHAND1 dexterous hand. Its overseas customer list — Skild AI (US) and Humanoid (UK) — is among the strongest third-party validation in the segment; the company reports roughly half its revenue from overseas.
Fast-scaling humanoid maker (ex-Huawei 'Genius Youth' founder) building full platforms plus the OmniHand dexterous hand. Positions on data-driven manipulation and large-scale embodied-AI training.
Rehabilitation-robotics company turned humanoid maker; the GR-series general-purpose humanoids build on years of exoskeleton and actuator experience. A first-tier name for research and commercial pilots.
Shenzhen humanoid maker known for natural bipedal gait demos and aggressively priced small/medium humanoids (PM01 class) aimed at developers and research buyers.
Industrial-quadruped specialist. The X30 is built for inspection duty — IP66/67, stair and slope climbing, thermal/gas payloads — where Unitree targets research and consumer. Deployed in power, mining and emergency-response settings.
Brain-machine-interface and prosthetics company whose robotic hand brings prosthetics-grade reliability — TS-F+ multi-modal tactile, 30+ material recognition and a 30 kg load rating — into the robotics market.
Maker of the Pantheon Hand 22, an arm-integrated 22-DOF hand claiming a 30 kg grip and 0.17 mm repeatability — positioned for high-force industrial manipulation rather than tactile research.
DJI-affiliated LiDAR maker. The Mid-360 is a robotics-industry workhorse — 360° coverage, ~40 m range, compact and low-cost — widely used on quadrupeds, AMRs and mapping rigs.
Listed LiDAR and perception company expanding from automotive into robotics, with compact solid-state units and an emerging robot-perception line. Automotive-grade manufacturing scale.
Education and research arm specialist. The myCobot desktop cobot line starts near $260 and is one of the most exported Chinese robotics products — the gateway arm for teams starting to source from China.
Mobile-base and manipulation-platform maker. The PiPER lightweight arm and AgileX mobile bases are common building blocks for embodied-AI research and data collection.
Vision-based tactile sensing specialist (DM-Tac class), supplying high-resolution fingertip tactile sensors for manipulation research and dexterous-hand integration.
Six-axis force/torque sensor maker supplying robotics and industrial automation, offering a domestic alternative to ATI-class F/T sensors at markedly lower cost.
Established BLDC-motor maker (drone and robotics heritage) whose planetary and quasi-direct-drive actuator modules are widely used in legged-robot and humanoid builds.
Quasi-direct-drive joint-module maker (MIT Mini-Cheetah lineage) offering low-cost, high-torque-density actuators popular in open-source legged-robot and humanoid projects.
Planetary and harmonic joint-module maker supplying the robotics-DIY and integrator market with documented, English-supported RMD-series actuators across a wide torque range.
Low-cost quasi-direct-drive actuator maker popular in the open-source robotics community, offering compact high-torque modules with CAN FD control at aggressive prices.
Force/torque sensor specialist founded by Dr. York Huang (ex-FTSS/Humanetics). Best known for six-axis F/T sensors and robot joint-torque sensors used in robotic grinding, assembly and force control; long-standing supplier to ABB, KUKA and Yaskawa integrations.
Shenzhen force-measurement house (XJCSENSOR) working on force sensors since 2009. Range spans strain-gauge and capacitive load cells, tension/compression sensors, torque sensors and multi-axis force sensors for robotics and industrial automation.
AI tactile-sensing chip and sensor developer. Its mixed-signal AI tactile chip lets sensors perceive 3D force, deformation, temperature and texture, targeting humanoid robots, automotive and consumer electronics. Backed by research teams from Tsinghua University and the University of Manchester.
One of China's largest LiDAR makers, spanning automotive ADAS, autonomous mobility and robotics. Its compact 3D LiDAR (e.g. the XT/JT and mini families) is used on AMRs, service and industrial robots. Listed on Nasdaq (HSAI) in 2023.
Shenzhen LiDAR maker (LSLIDAR) offering mechanical, MEMS and solid-state LiDAR plus 3D SLAM navigation for AGVs/AMRs. Sensors are used across robotics, autonomous driving, security and surveying.
Shanghai collaborative-robot maker known for its all-in-one integrated-joint cobots and wireless setup. The Zu series (roughly 3–20+ kg payload) is deployed across automotive, electronics and general manufacturing in 100+ countries.
Shenzhen maker of low-cost collaborative and desktop robot arms. Its xArm series (5/6/7-DOF) and the earlier uArm are popular in labs, education, light industry and research; products ship to 80+ countries.
Beijing maker of ultra-lightweight modular robotic arms aimed at humanoid, mobile-manipulation and embodied-AI applications. Known for high payload-to-weight integrated arms used as manipulators on robots and research platforms.
Shenzhen robot-arm maker (Shenzhen Yuejiang Technology) spanning desktop educational arms (Magician), the CR/Nova collaborative series and, more recently, the Atom humanoid. Listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in December 2024.
