Overview

Robbyant (Shanghai Ant Lingbo Technology) is the embodied AI arm of Ant Group, registered in Shanghai in December 2024 and formally launched in March 2025. It builds its own wheeled dual-arm robots, the R1 (shown in September 2025) and the current R2, and open-sources robot foundation models such as LingBot-VLA. Its strategy is "one brain, many bodies": the same AI runs on third-party robots, and the company said in August 2026 that pre-training covered 17 robot brands and 20 form factors. Its robots now handle night-shift medicine sorting in a Guoda Pharmacy store in Shanghai.

Strengths

  • Full-stack embodied AI backed by Ant Group's capital and AI research
  • LingBot-VLA released under Apache-2.0; the model series passed 30,000 GitHub stars, per the company in August 2026
  • "One brain, many bodies": its brain also runs on third-party robots such as Leju and Titan
  • Live pharmacy sorting in an existing store with no hardware retrofits

Staff said it was in mass production and had shipped to clients including the Shanghai History Museum, and that it is sold as part of scenario solutions rather than as a standalone product.
