Veteran PM joins Galbot-backed Qianxun Intelligence to lead humanoid robot product

Product veteran yongqianme announced he has joined Qianxun Intelligence (千寻智能) as a part-time product manager leading embodied AI humanoid robot product.
His path began with a robot internship in 2005, spanned standardized flexible robot products and industrial IoT startups in China and the US, and a recent exit from DeepFashion AI. Notably, five months ago he killed a $7M robot-dog prospecting project over insufficient technology maturity.
His takeaway: humanoid robots are still very early — the gap between a good demo and a product customers actually pay to deploy remains long.
