Black Sesame supplies AI computing and control chips for embodied- AI and robotics applications, including perception and motion-control processors used in robotic systems.
Black Sesame designs automotive-grade computing SoCs: the Huashan series for autonomous driving including the A1000 and A2000, the Wudang series for cross-domain cockpit and driving including the C1200 family, plus the Shanhai toolchain, Hanhai autonomous driving middleware and its own IP cores. It listed on HKEX in August 2024 under the Chapter 18C specialist technology regime. FY2025 revenue rose 73.4 percent to RMB 822 million while net loss widened to RMB 1.4 billion, with operating loss narrowing 17.5 percent. Embodied AI and solutions generated RMB 96 million in its first year as a reported line, the number to watch: the company has secured humanoid robot partnerships using A2000 for perception and C1200 for motion control, and robotics is explicitly framed as a second growth engine. Margin is the soft spot: gross margin on driving assistance products and solutions fell to 20.9 percent in H1 2025 from 47.2 percent a year earlier as the mix shifted toward SoC sales. For 2026 the company targets scaled mass production of the A2000 for L3, expansion into L4 robotaxi and commercial vehicles, and further embodied AI deployments. It licensed Arteris Ncore and FlexNoC in February 2026, and completed a 60 percent acquisition of an AI SoC business in July 2026.
