SIASUN

SIASUN operates one of China’s broader robotics product portfolios, with five major product lines spanning industrial, mobile, cleanroom, special-purpose, and medical service robots. Affiliated with the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), the company has expanded into medical rehabilitation and smart elderly care since 2015, developing wearable exoskeletons and assistive devices that address the needs of post-stroke patients, disabled individuals, and aging populations.

Company Overview

Founded in April 2000 by Qu Daokui under the auspices of the Shenyang Institute of Automation (CAS), SIASUN emerged from decades of robotics research at China’s premier scientific institution. The company takes its name from Jiang Xinsong, a CAS academician widely regarded as the father of Chinese robotics. Qu Daokui, who continues to serve as CEO, has guided the company through two decades of growth into a publicly traded enterprise with a market capitalization exceeding RMB 30 billion.

The company went public on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange ChiNext board in October 2009, becoming one of the first robotics companies listed on this innovation-focused exchange. SIASUN has since established production facilities in Shenyang, Shanghai, Qingdao, Hangzhou, and Tianjin, with international subsidiaries in Singapore, Thailand, Germany, Japan, and Mexico.

In 2017, SIASUN became the first China-based member of the Robotic Industries Association (RIA), the leading U.S. trade group for robotics manufacturers. The company gained global visibility when its mobile robots performed in the eight-minute handover ceremony at the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics.

Core Products

Medical Service Robots

SIASUN’s medical rehabilitation portfolio centers on wearable exoskeleton technology and intelligent assistive devices designed for both clinical and home use.

Lower Limb Powered Exoskeleton Robot

The flagship rehabilitation product enables patients with lower limb injuries to progress from complete immobility to upright walking. Electric motors drive the hip, knee, and ankle joints while a mobile support frame ensures stability during early-stage rehabilitation. Multiple control modes allow therapists to customize training parameters for individual patients.

Lower Limb Exoskeleton Trainer (Professional Version)

Designed for hospital rehabilitation departments, this device integrates with ceiling-mounted suspension systems (track systems) to support high-repetition, goal-oriented training for stroke survivors, post-surgical patients, and individuals with paralysis.

Wearable Lower Limb Walker (Home Version)

Using a pendulum-based mechanism that requires no battery power, this passive exoskeleton assists elderly users and those with lower limb weakness during daily activities. The device provides hip and knee joint assistance to compensate for reduced muscle strength.

Intelligent Walker

This powered mobility aid automatically detects inclines and adjusts assistance accordingly—providing propulsion on uphill sections and controlled braking on descents. Safety features include overload detection, speed monitoring, and emergency stop capability.

Bed-to-Chair Robot

For patients in acute neurological rehabilitation phases, this device helps the transition from supine to standing position, enabling passive stepping exercises under reduced weight-bearing conditions to restore walking function.

SIASUN Jiabao Elderly Care Robot

A cloud-connected companion robot offering intelligent monitoring, family video communication, remote healthcare consultation, and household assistance. The device uses SLAM navigation and infrared sensors for autonomous movement and voice recognition for hands-free interaction.

Technology & Innovation

SIASUN has registered over 140 patents annually since 2013, building a substantial intellectual property portfolio that spans robotics hardware and software. The company’s core competencies include:

Motion Control: Proprietary algorithms for detecting terrain changes (inclines, steps) and adjusting assistive force output accordingly.

Biomechanical Design: Products incorporate ergonomic principles and biomechanical modeling to match human joint kinematics.

Cloud Integration: The “Cloud + Network + Rehabilitation Robot” architecture enables remote monitoring of patient physiological data and centralized health management.

Collaborative Robots: Through subsidiary Siasun (Shanghai), the company produces GCR series collaborative robots with TÜV SÜD IEC 61508 safety certification, the first domestic cobot to achieve this standard.

Market Presence

SIASUN serves customers in more than 30 countries across automotive, semiconductor, new energy, and healthcare sectors. The medical rehabilitation product line targets three primary channels:

Hospitals and Rehabilitation Centers: Powered exoskeletons and professional training devices deployed in clinical settings across China.

Elderly Care Facilities: Smart rehabilitation systems installed at community elderly care centers, including partnerships with organizations like Delan Quanyuncun Elderly Care Service Center in Shenyang.

Direct Consumer Sales: Home-version walkers and assistive devices sold through the SIASUN Songkang flagship store on JD.com.

During the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020, SIASUN donated 31 robots and intelligent medical auxiliary equipment valued at RMB 6.1 million to frontline hospitals in Shenyang through the local Red Cross.
