Ant Lingbo

Positioning

Ant Lingbo is Ant Group in-house humanoid arm, operating under the Robbyant brand, and unveiled its first humanoid, the R1, in 2025 — entering the segment Unitree leads, but with the distinction of being the robotics vehicle of one of China largest fintech groups. Its strategy is two-track: build its own robots for service scenarios (guides, retail, eldercare demos) while Ant Group simultaneously buys into the ecosystem — a dozen humanoid investments in 18 months, including leading Zeroth Robotics $73M round — and Lingbo itself is reported planning record financing. The bet is Ant capital, AI stack and Alipay-scale distribution channels applied to embodied AI.
