Positioning

Quanzhibo (泉智博) makes integrated joint modules for humanoid and general robots, and the shipment numbers are the reason it scores as highly as it does on deployment and production. In the first half of 2026 cumulative shipments of integrated joint modules passed 120,000 units, with over 60,000 shipped in June alone, the steepest ramp of any component maker in this registry. FY2025 orders exceeded RMB 150 million and 2026 orders are expected to reach several hundred million RMB. In April 2026 its precision joint production base in Wuxi entered production with a planned annual capacity at the million-unit level: an automation rate above 85 percent, a 90-second cycle time per joint module, first-pass qualification stable above 96 percent and product yield at 98 percent. Those are manufacturing figures rather than prototype claims, which is unusual in this segment and is why production scores 5. The investor base is the other signal: Hillhouse and Agibot both backed the company, putting Agibot on the cap table of both this row and Critical Point. Named customers are Leju Robotics, Songyan Dynamics and Galaxea. The company is splitting its footprint by function, keeping Wuxi as the manufacturing base while investing in Beijing and Shenzhen for research and embodied AI commercialisation and in Chongqing for large-scale high-end manufacturing and delivery stability.

Positioning

Ningbo Zhongda Leader Intelligent Transmission Co., Ltd. (002896.SZ) is a Shenzhen-listed Chinese maker of precision reducers (planetary, RV, harmonic), gear motors, servo drives and integrated reducer-motor-driver execution units for industrial robots, logistics equipment and humanoid joints. FY2025 group revenue was RMB 1.041 billion (+6.61 percent YoY) with Zhiyuan Robotics and Fourier named as terminal customers in the April 2026 annual-report filing; a February 2025 RMB 200 million Cixi precision-components plant and an in-construction Thailand factory support scale-up. It is one of few domestic firms offering all three reducer families plus mechatronic joints at volume; the mix of actual humanoid versus industrial shipments remains unquantified.
