Standard Robots

Standard Robots ranks as the fifth largest industrial intelligent mobile robot solution provider globally by 2024 sales volume, with a 3.2% market share according to Frost & Sullivan. Founded in 2016 by Harbin Institute of Technology alumni Wang Yongjun and Li Hongxiang, the company specializes in autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) using proprietary laser SLAM navigation technology for flexible factory logistics automation.

Company Overview

Standard Robots emerged from Shenzhen’s robotics ecosystem, initially focusing on AGV development before transitioning to laser SLAM-based AMR solutions. The company relocated its headquarters to Wuxi in April 2025 following a strategic investment from Wuxi Liangxi Kechuang Industrial Investment Fund during its Series D round.

The founding team brought competition robotics experience, with CEO Wang Yongjun having captained Harbin Institute of Technology’s RoboCon team to Asia-Pacific runner-up before meeting entrepreneurship mentor Li Zekai at a 2013 robotics competition.

By 2024, Standard Robots had completed over 300 projects across industries including 3C electronics, semiconductor, photovoltaic, lithium battery, and pharmaceutical manufacturing. The company serves clients such as Foxconn, Delta Electronics, DJI, OPPO, Toyota, NIO, and Xiaomi.

Core Products

OASIS Series AMR

The OASIS product line forms Standard Robots’ core offering, featuring laser SLAM navigation for automatic mapping and rapid deployment without infrastructure modification. Models include:

• OASIS 300 Series: 300kg payload capacity, 1.5m/s maximum speed, multiple form factors (300EL, 300E-SRL, 300C-SRL)
• OASIS 600C: Higher payload variant for heavier material handling
• Functional modules: Lifting (背负), Conveyor (传输), Forklift (叉取), Towing (牵引)

DARWIN Embodied Robot

Launched in May 2025, DARWIN represents Standard Robots’ first wheeled humanoid embodied intelligent robot, featuring over 23 degrees of freedom, precision super-joint design, and an omnidirectional chassis. The company positions embodied robots as the advanced intelligent form for complex dynamic multi-scenario manufacturing needs.

RIOT Software Platform

The Robot IoT (RIOT) intelligent factory logistics operation and maintenance platform integrates fleet management, cluster scheduling, and digital twin capabilities. The Fleet Management System (FMS) enables user-friendly iPad-based mapping, task configuration, real-time status monitoring, and communication with existing facility systems.

Technology & Innovation

Standard Robots develops its core technology stack in-house, including:

• Laser SLAM navigation: Self-developed positioning algorithms enabling infrastructure-free deployment
• Robot operating system: Proprietary OS for AMR control
• Core controller: Multi-interface industrial design supporting diverse functional module customization
• Safety systems: LIDAR, 3D vision sensors, safety bumpers, and proximity sensors for obstacle detection

The company received the First Prize of Technical Invention Award from the Chinese Association of Automation in 2023 and collaborates with Huawei on AGV universal interface standards.

Market Presence

Standard Robots has shipped over 5,000 AMRs cumulatively, with products sold in 15 countries and regions including Japan, the United States, Southeast Asia, and the UAE. The company became one of the first Chinese AMR manufacturers to export to Japan in 2019.

By 2024 shipment volume, Standard Robots ranks second in the 3C electronics sector, second in automotive, and fifth in semiconductors globally.
