Read our technical vision: Whole-Body Intelligence

/ 01

Mission

At Archon Robotics, we're building a Humanoid Foundation Model (HFM) for whole-body intelligence — the foundational AI layer that lets humanoid robots move, perceive, reason, and act in the real world.

We aim to become a leading embodied AI company and build the "OpenAI for Humanoid Robotics" in China.

Team

Our founding team brings together around 20 researchers and engineers from top institutions including The University of Hong Kong, Tsinghua University, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, and leading technology companies. Among us are former autonomous driving leaders, robotics researchers, large-model engineers, infrastructure specialists, and award-winning AI researchers.

What We're Building

Overview

We're developing a Humanoid Foundation Model (HFM) that enables robots to perform whole-body tasks requiring simultaneous mobility, manipulation, perception, and decision-making.

Core capabilities include:

01Whole-body locomotion and manipulation
02Long-horizon task planning and execution
03Multi-modal perception and reasoning
04Real-world robot learning from large-scale data
05Generalizable robot skills across environments and embodiments

Our platform combines foundation model training, robot data infrastructure, simulation systems, and deployment on physical humanoid robots.

Where We Are

Demo / Early Product Validation

We've already developed internal prototypes and demonstrations of whole-body robot intelligence, and we're actively scaling robot data collection, model training, and real-world deployment.

Over the next 12 months, we plan to expand our robot fleet, train larger foundation models, and establish pilot deployments with strategic robotics and enterprise partners.
