Zhu jiangming: lingrave won't prioritize humanoid robots soon, focus remains on non-humanoid machines

On September 17, 2026, Zhu Jiangming, founder, chairman, and CEO of Lingrave, along with other senior executives, discussed the company's strategic direction following its technology day. Zhu emphasized that Lingrave will not prioritize humanoid robots in the near term, stating that the focus remains on non-humanoid machines that can deliver commercial value. He noted that while Lingrave has developed fully self-researched humanoid robots and is in the testing phase, the technology is still in early stages, akin to a child learning to walk. Zhu argued that non-humanoid robots, such as wheeled or transformable models, are more efficient and cost-effective for practical applications. He also highlighted that Lingrave is currently exploring automated scenarios and leveraging AI to drive innovation in its second growth curve.
