Jiateng Robotics, a veteran Guangdong mobile-robot firm, has closed a tens-of-millions-yuan strategic round after a twelve-year gap, led by Shenzhen-listed control specialist Hetitec with Daohe Fund and Jinmu Capital following. Oriental Precision first took a strategic stake back in 2014 and still holds about 19.84 per cent as the second-largest shareholder.
The cap table is built for industrial synergy. Hetitec is a listed leader in smart control, the “control brain” of end devices, with in-house work on core robot parts such as servo motors and joint control, and a deep layout across the robot chain via joint ventures and stakes. Daohe’s limited partners include Oriental Precision, Leju Robot and Daohe’s own capital, and the fund says it aims to build a fuller chain around “chassis, body, control system and industrial scene” using the three firms’ strengths. Hetitec, Oriental Precision and Leju already crossed paths in 2025 when they formed Shenzhen Heju Zhikong to build humanoid control systems.
Twenty-three years on the factory floor
Founded in 2002, Jiateng is among China’s earliest mobile-robot entrants, with over 700 patents and software rights, focused on AGV unmanned transporters and full smart-logistics plant solutions. It has shipped six generations of AGVs, over 500 models, covering tow, lift, side-fork and omnidirectional forklift from 5 kg to 220 tonnes. Its AGV annual capacity reaches 10,000 units, and in October 2025 it won combined orders for over 1,000 AGVs from two new-energy giants.
Unlike plain mobile-robot shops, Jiateng’s deep industrial-scene history is the edge. Across more than 2,000 delivered factory projects it has banked 270 million hours of shop-floor runtime. In embodied deployment, device research alone is not enough. Only with huge industrial data, scene experience, control and chassis tech can a machine run steady inside a plant, and that banked scene data is the moat.
While humanoids and embodied AI grab the headlines, industrial landing stays hard, and bridging robot body and complex plant is the key gate. Jiateng pins itself to the physical base of industrial embodied intelligence, with its self-built iCORE embodied chassis, a core supplier of industrial embodied mobile bases and one of few chassis makers that meet overseas-export demands for embodied-robot firms.
From base to volume
The iCORE chassis does 360-degree on-spot omnidirectional steering, carries up to 100 kg, and uses VLA and VLM models for precise control across material handling, line feeding and sorting, fitting humanoids, AGVs, AMRs and unmanned forklifts. It has entered volume shipment at 150 to 200 units a month, with annual capacity that could pass 100,000. With Leju and others it is running proof-of-concept work on a 15 kg dual-arm humanoid for industrial scenes.
With steady product and mature solutions, Jiateng runs global, shipping to over 30 countries and regions, over 20,000 AGVs placed worldwide, overseas revenue above 60 per cent, and customers spanning GAC, Toyota, Volkswagen, Huawei and Midea across transport, manufacturing and power.
