## About

Based in Guangdong, China and founded in 2025, Shenzhen Knowin Intelligence Co., Ltd., trading as KNOWIN, is a company engaged in the research and development of consumer-grade household embodied intelligence robots and supporting AI models. The company's founder and CEO, Yinchuan Li, graduated with a joint PhD from Beijing Institute of Technology and Columbia University and previously worked at Huawei. In September 2026, it raised hundreds of millions of CNY in Angel+++ funding led by JD.com, with participation from Loyal Valley Capital, Nanshan SEI Investment, and Walden Catalyst.

KNOWIN develops consumer household embodied intelligence systems integrating physical robotic hardware with a generative embodied model architecture. The company's core product is KNOWIN-X1, a home robot model with foldable dual-arm combining dexterous manipulation, natural interaction, home monitoring and continuous learning for different indoor scenarios. The robot is empowered by GLOW, the company's self-developed generative embodied large model system, which connects data generation, world prediction, cognitive planning, action execution, and real-world feedback into a continuously iterative system.

The company generates revenue from the sale of consumer household robots and related services.

The company will use the Angel+++ funding to expand its training data to enhance GLOW’s generalization capabilities across diverse tasks, objects, and home environments, deepen the R&D of the robot hardware to advance the engineering validation and mass production readiness of KNOWIN-X1, and attract top-tier talent in embodied AI to strengthen core technological breakthroughs.
