According to AIbase, Zhiyuan Robotics has recently completed a key organizational restructuring, officially splitting its core components department and establishing an independent subsidiary Shanghai Linyidian Innovation Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. (referred to as "Linyidian"). This move marks the beginning of China's leading humanoid robot enterprise deepening its core supply chain ecosystem, and the commercialization of robots has officially entered the "deep water zone" of core components.

Core Management and Technical Background

The new company "Linyidian" is led by Xiong Kun, the former head of the dexterous hand business at Zhiyuan Robotics. Xiong Kun has a strong industrial background and has been deeply involved in the establishment of Tencent Robotics X Lab. The core management team of Linyidian also includes Deng Taihua, chairman of Zhiyuan Robotics, and Wang Chuang, president of the general business department. Zhiyuan Robotics invested 4 million yuan and holds 80% of the equity in Linyidian, aiming to enable the team to focus more on core technology breakthroughs through independent operation.

Patent Breakthroughs Solve Industry "Bottleneck" Issues

The dexterous hand has always been seen as the key to making humanoid robots practical. On January 5, 2026, Zhiyuan Robotics applied for the "Dexterous Hand Finger, Dexterous Hand, and Robot" Patent was authorized again. This technology effectively solves the problem of the large size of multi-jointed dexterous hands, achieving precise control of movement trajectories through a compact structure. Previously, Zhiyuan had densely filed patents in areas such as the dexterous hand thumb and control algorithms.

Industry Trends: From Demonstration to Large-Scale Commercialization

According to IDC predictions, by 2026, the Chinese humanoid robot market will reach nearly 1.3 billion US dollars. As leading manufacturers like Zhiyuan and UE Tech push for mass production, the focus of industry competition is shifting towards specialized deepening of core components. After becoming independent, Linyidian will continue to support Zhiyuan's system needs and also act as an independent supplier for a broad market. Although Morgan Stanley
