Recently, leading companies in the AIoT sector, Teslin and UBTECH, known as the “first publicly traded humanoid robot company,” announced a strategic partnership. This collaboration will leverage Teslin’s advanced spatial intelligence perception, reasoning, and action technology, alongside UBTECH’s cutting-edge capabilities in humanoid robots. The two companies aim to deeply integrate “spatial intelligence” with “embodied intelligence,” sharing innovative technologies to create a new paradigm for multimodal training based on spatial intelligence, thereby facilitating the widespread deployment of intelligent robotic agents.
UBTECH is recognized for its industry-leading hardware and control technologies, as well as its expertise in artificial intelligence and the integration of robotics with AI. Zhou Jian, founder, chairman, and CEO of UBTECH, emphasizes that spatial intelligence is crucial for enabling robots to interact effectively with the physical world. For robots to evolve from mere execution tools to intelligent agents capable of human-machine integration, they must develop a profound understanding of environmental semantics and dynamic rules. Teslin’s spatial models and high-quality spatial data provide an excellent foundation for training robots, enhancing UBTECH’s core advantages and creating a powerful synergy.
As a prominent player in the AIoT sector, Teslin has been dedicated to spatial intelligence since 2015, accumulating nearly 10,000 project cases in this field. The company has established a three-tier strategic framework centered around AIoT infrastructure, sector-specific models, and intelligent agents. This strategic partnership stems from a mutual recognition of each other’s technological strengths and industrial value. Ai Yu, founder and CEO of Teslin, believes that this collaboration transcends mere technological complementarity. It aims to advance the deep integration of spatial and embodied intelligence, leading to the development of the next generation of intelligent robotic agents with high autonomy and interaction capabilities in the physical world, paving the way for general AI.
Embodied intelligence is perceived as a combination of a “thinking brain” and a “perceptive and acting body.” However, the complexities and variability of real-world scenarios—such as changes in lighting, object obstructions, and uneven terrains—pose challenges for the generalization of this technology. To enable machines to truly “see” and “understand” the physical world and engage in autonomous interactions, spatial intelligence is key. Teslin’s three-tier architecture—comprising AIoT sector models, infrastructure, and intelligent agents—enables robots to comprehend their surroundings, while humanoid robots from UBTECH bridge the “last mile” of implementing spatial intelligence.
Following this partnership, humanoid robots will not only be capable of autonomous movement and precise operations but will also serve as intelligent terminals for real-time perception and interaction, continuously validating and enhancing the performance of spatial reasoning models in real-world environments. The multimodal interaction data generated during their operation will enrich spatial data resources, further refining and optimizing the model’s spatial reasoning capabilities and driving the continuous evolution of the system.
It has been reported that Teslin is currently in the process of an IPO in Hong Kong. This upcoming merger between Teslin, poised to become the “first AIoT public company,” and UBTECH, the “first publicly traded humanoid robot company,” presents significant opportunities for business upgrades and global market expansion.
