Hikrobot, the robotics arm of Hangzhou Hikvision, posted 4.03 billion yuan of revenue in the first half of 2026, up 28.3 per cent and 8.6 per cent of the group total, growing faster than Hikvision itself as factory and logistics automation become a steady engine.
The parent’s scorecard
Hikvision’s half-year revenue rose 12.0 per cent to 46.8 billion yuan, with net profit up 39.6 per cent to 7.9 billion yuan and recurring profit up 40.5 per cent. Gross margin reached 49.97 per cent, up 4.78 points. First-half research spend was 6.17 billion yuan, up 8.8 per cent, feeding its perception, AI and big-data stacks and the Guanlan large model across security and scenario-digitisation.
Hikrobot’s clip
Hikvision’s innovation businesses as a group reached 15.17 billion yuan, up 28.9 per cent and 32.4 per cent of revenue. Within that, Hikrobot’s 4.03 billion yuan, against 3.04 billion yuan a year earlier, grew 28.3 per cent, well above the group rate. Its industrialisation base in Binjiang is 45.2 per cent complete after 458 million yuan invested, part of a planned 1.17 billion yuan site for R&D, support and volume production.
The result frames robotics not as a side experiment but as one of the fastest clips inside a surveillance megasupplier, riding the same sensing and AI know-how into warehouses and lines.
