Elephant Robotics
Elephant Robotics (Chinese: 大象机器人; Pinyin: Dàxiàngjīqìrén) is a Chinese robotics technology company specializing in creating and designing collaborative robots and providing automation solutions, headquartered in Shenzhen's Futian District. Elephant Robotics was incorporated on 10th August 2016 by Kirin Wu and Joey Song.
History[edit]
In 2015, Kirin Wu (Wu Qilin, 伍祁林) and Joey Song (Song Junyi, 宋君毅) joined UFACTORY (a Chinese robotic arm technology company). In May 2016, Kirin Wu and Joey Song resigned from UFACTORY and jointly established Elephant Robotics after 3 months. At the same time, they got a seed round investment from HAX (a US based hardware seed accelerator).
In April 2017, Elephant Robotics’ two founders Kirin Wu and Joey Song were selected by Forbes China as “30 Under 30”.
In October, 2017, the company got an Angel Round from Cloud Angle Fund.
Name[edit]
The name Elephant Robotics (大象机器人) is quoted from the thirty-fifth chapter of Lao Zi’s philosophical work “Tao Te Ching” (《道德经》) saying:” With a good vision, everyone in the world will come to help you.” (执大象，天下往。) With the company’s vision “Enjoy Robots World”, Joey Song wants more people to join this promising career to achieve the vision, so he quoted “大象” from that sentence and created the company name “大象机器人”. Literally, the company translated its English name as “Elephant Robotics” to let people memorize it easily.
Service[edit]
Elephant Robotics offers various robotic automation services. The company independently developed collaborative robots (Elephant Robotics®P/C/E Series) and Bionic Robots (MarsCat), and jointly developed collaborative robots (myCobot series and myPalletizer series) with M5Stack (a Chinese technology company that designs and manufactures open-source development toolkit).
