Recently, Zhejiang Kechong Control Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Kechong") has successfully completed two rounds of financing, namely B2 and B3, with a cumulative financing amount of several hundred million yuan. This round of financing was strategically invested by Hangzhou well-known industrial investment institution Hangshi Asset Management (Hangzhou) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Hangshi Asset Management") and domestic top investment institution Shenzhen Innovation Investment Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Shenzhen Innovation Investment"). This series of financing will help Kechong continuously deepen its research and development in mobile robot control technology, accelerate its global strategic layout and upgrade its core capabilities.



Currently, the era of robots has fully arrived. Mobile robots are becoming the core engine driving innovation and upgrading in various industries and promoting high-quality development of the economy. With years of continuous technological and product accumulation, Kexiong has achieved large-scale commercial implementation of core technologies and products, successfully breaking through the technical barriers and market monopolies of imported systems from abroad, and firmly holding the leading position in the field of standardized mobile robots and mobile device controllers. It provides full-scenario solutions for customers from home and abroad, precisely meeting the application needs of various industries.


Leading with cutting-edge technology, enabling innovation in all industries across various scenarios

Leading-edge technology


As a pioneer in the standardization of control systems for China's mobile robots industry, Kexiong is the first enterprise worldwide to release a SIL3 safety-level controller. The company's independently developed core control system combines the powerful capabilities of multi-modal fusion navigation with the core advantages of full-scenario adaptability.

Relying on a rich and reliable dynamics library, the Kexiong control system can be widely adapted to various types of mobile robots such as AGVs/AMRs, forklift robots, robot dogs, humanoid robots, as well as construction machinery like loaders and rollers, and even heavy-duty robots weighing tens of tons. No matter in narrow passages, oily workshops, or requiring high-precision docking at the millimeter level, or dealing with high-dynamic indoor, outdoor, and marine application environments, the Kexiong system can ensure the stable, efficient, and safe operation of mobile robots throughout the process with ultra-high precision and strong robustness.

Platform-level product innovation, creating an efficient model for large-scale implementation

Platform-grade product


Kechong's mobile robot control system is based on a platform-based control architecture as its core support. It innovatively creates a full-stack solution of "a unified control kernel base + standardized modular products + graphical low-code toolchain software". This innovative model successfully upgrades the highly customized and strongly dependent on engineering traditional mobile robot development and application mode into a modular, standardized, and tool-based efficient delivery system. It not only enables customers to quickly build their own mobile robot application capability system, but also helps customers form a platform-based core competitiveness that is autonomous, controllable, reusable, scalable, and capable of sustainable evolution, enabling customers to gain an advantage in the market competition, achieving multiple goals such as rapid product launch, large-scale production, and high-quality and reliable delivery.
