As a technology-driven AI embodied robotics company, Woan Robotics independently controlsthree core technologies: AI machine vision control, robot positioning and environment construction, and distributed neural control networks, establishing the underlying capabilities for robots to precisely perceive, make flexible decisions, and execute efficiently in complex home environments. The companyhas over 50% of its staff as R&D engineers(excluding assembly line workers), with a compound annual growth rate of R&D expenditure reaching 34.7% from 2022 to 2024,R&D spending accounts for about 20% of revenue,，and has cumulatively secured over311 global registered patents (over 56 invention patents), awarded the title ofNational-level key 'Little Giant' specializing in precision and innovationEnterprise title.

Relying on its core technology foundation, Woan Robotics was the first to achievethe commercialization of AI-embodied home robots, with business covering more than90 countries and regions globally, with over3.56 million registered users on its proprietary app, connecting more than11 million units, surpassingmore than half of users connecting two or more products, forming a highly sticky closed-loop smart home ecosystem.

Since its inception, the company has aspired to be a leader in the AI-powered robotics industry, with its vision embedded in its name——Woan, where robots take on household chores, freeing people’s hands to focus on what they love.The company firmly believes thatthe future household will not rely on a single all-purpose robot handling everything. Instead, it will follow the long-established division of labor in human society, where housekeepers, nannies, security personnel, assistants, and pets each play specific roles. This division may not maximize efficiency but is shaped by social development and shared needs for safety and emotional connection.Today, the company has achieved 'technological innovation + scenario application + commercial implementationa complete closed loop, creating a data flywheel within the family vertical scenario.

In terms of product layout, Woan Robotics has built astable core business + dual growth curvesthree-dimensional matrix, comprehensively expanding into the AI embodied robotics sector. With its core product lineup centered onenhanced execution robots, perception and decision-making systems,as thestable core business,deeply covering diverse home scenarios such as smart control, housework, smart butler services, elderly care, safety protection, and energy management;The second growth curve focuses on sports robots and companion robots.Among them, Acemate, the world’s first AI tennis robot, leverages hardcore algorithmic innovation to bring embodied intelligence into professional sports scenarios for the first time and is the only sports robot featured on TIME Magazine's 'Best Inventions of 2025' list. Kata Friends, the world’s first locally-deployed large-model AI companion robot, equipped with a multimodal perception system and emotional interaction capabilities, has won dozens of innovation awards at the Berlin IFA exhibition.The third growth curve targets humanoid household robots, with the first product H1 set to officially launch in January 2026, focusing on high-frequency household scenarios such as clothing organization, laundry, cooking, and dishwashing, filling the gap in practical home applications for humanoid robots.

The '15th Five-Year Plan' clearly includes embodied intelligence as a key future industry priority, markingthe comprehensive arrival of a new industrial revolution driven by AI and embodied intelligence. The demand for household assistance and emotional companionship in home scenarios is entering an explosive growth phase. The launch of the humanoid household robot H1 will precisely align with national industrial guidelines, securing a first-mover advantage in the home-based embodied intelligence sector.
