Table Tennis Robot & Full Stack: Chaoweidongli Mirrors Figure's Path
量子位 · wechat · 2026-08-21
Startup Chaoweidongli (HyperPower), founded about a year ago, unveiled a full-stack embodied AI system including the KAIBot humanoid, high-DOF dexterous hand KAIHand, data capture headset KAIHalo, world model KAIWorldModel, and training Infra. Its SMASH system enables full 11-point table tennis matches between robots, demonstrating a closed-loop of perception, prediction, and action, and is compatible with other bodies like Unitree G1. The company monetizes independent components (e.g., the hand) to fund the data loop, aiming to compete with US giants through iteration efficiency.
