Jieka, Yuejiang, and Aibo have launched their IPO guidance, and who has become the first wave of collaborative robots?

In recent years, collaborative robots have been at the forefront of development in the robotics industry. The annual shipment volume of top collaborative robot companies has exceeded the threshold of 10000 units since last year, becoming an important component of industrial robot applications. As the collaborative robot industry enters a new stage of development, going public has become a common pursuit of major enterprises.

At present, Jieka, Yuejiang, and Aobo have all embarked on their own paths to go public. However, wanting to go public is not an easy task. It remains to be seen who the first stock of collaborative robots will fall into. Today, let's take a look at the development process of the three companies and see who is most likely to go public.

Jieka Robot

On December 19, 2022, Jieka Robot signed a listing guidance agreement with Guotai Jun'an Securities Co., Ltd. to initiate the IPO process.

According to data, Jieka Robot was established in 2014, dedicated to improving the interaction between newcomers and robots. All along, the Jieka robot has deeply integrated emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and big data, and developed towards multi-dimensional upgrading of intelligence, that is, upgrading from single perception to global perception, upgrading from perceptual intelligence to cognitive intelligence, and evolving from single machine intelligence to cluster intelligence, promoting collaborative robots to move towards a more flexible intelligent era.

The Jieka robot has achieved nine core technologies, six core algorithms, and six series of collaborative robot product matrices, building strong operational ability, strong scene based ability, and strong intelligent ability. It has accumulated a large number of practical cases in applications such as transportation, palletizing, machining, testing, gluing, screw locking, polishing and polishing, and welding.

It is reported that the Jieka robot product has obtained the MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) 80000 hour certification, once again breaking the industry record. In the manufacturing industry, the various links of automated production lines are interconnected, and if one equipment malfunctions, it may lead to the entire line being shut down, causing huge losses. Therefore, stability has always been the top priority for manufacturing enterprises, and reliable products are the advantages of card saving robots.

At present, Jieka Robotics has closely cooperated with over 300 excellent automation solution companies from various industries around the world, deploying over 10000 robots globally, and providing flexible and efficient services to production lines of globally renowned brands such as automobiles, electronics, and semiconductors. At the same time, it also engages in direct contact with consumers in many commercial new consumer fields.

In July last year, Jieka Robot announced the completion of a round D financing of approximately 1 billion RMB, jointly led by institutions such as Temasek and Softbank Vision Fund Phase II. As a result, Jieka Robot has completed six rounds of financing, totaling over 1.4 billion RMB, becoming the enterprise with the most rounds of financing and the largest scale of financing in the field of collaborative robots.

Yuejiang Technology

On January 19, 2023, the registration and acceptance of the guidance for the listing of Yuejiang was obtained from the China Securities Regulatory Commission. The guidance institution is CICC, and it is expected to end the listing guidance process from April to May.
Yuejiang Technology was established in 2015. Yuejiang Technology is a globally leading intelligent collaborative robot company headquartered in Shenzhen, with subsidiary companies established in cities such as Shanghai, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Chengdu, Qingdao, Rizhao, Dallas, Frankfurt, Germany, and Tokyo, Japan. It has three major business groups: domestic industry, domestic education, and overseas, and has a deep presence in the global market.

Unlike many robot companies that integrate by purchasing components, Yuejiang Technology has chosen the path of independent innovation. It has three major research and development centers in Shenzhen, Shanghai, and Qingdao, and most of its servo drive and control systems are independently developed, with a high degree of autonomy. In 2022, there were 200 new intellectual property rights added, totaling 1424, which is far ahead of the industry.

After years of development, Yuejiang Technology has more than ten products in seven series, becoming the first collaborative robot company in the industry with a 0.5-16kg full product matrix. Its application fields cover 15 major industries such as automobiles, 3C, and semiconductors, and its products are exported to more than 140 countries and regions worldwide. As of 2022, its cumulative sales reached 68000 units, continuously ranking No.1 in the export volume of domestic industrial robots.

Last September, the 10000th robot at the Rizhao Production Base of Yuejiang Technology was officially taken offline. It is understood that the production base started construction on November 10, 2020, with a planned annual production capacity of 100000 units. In just two years, over 10000 robots have been taken offline, which will undoubtedly greatly enhance the delivery capacity of Yuejiang Technology.

At present, Yuejiang Technology has completed 5 rounds of financing and has received investments from well-known institutions such as Daosheng Capital, Entertainment Works, Shenzhen Venture Capital, Qianhai Fund, CICC Capital, CRRC Capital, Wen's Capital, China Merchants Capital, Yunhui Capital, and Potential Capital. In November 2022, after completing the D-round financing, Yuejiang Technology completed the strategic financing again on December 23.

Aobo Intelligence

It is understood that Aibo Intelligent plans to go public on the Science and Technology Innovation Board in the third quarter of this year, with Huatai United Securities as the listing guidance institution.

Founded in 2015, AOBO Intelligent has been deeply involved in the field of collaborative robots for a long time, breaking through multiple key software and hardware technologies of collaborative robots, and conquering robot core technologies such as robot operating systems, integrated joints, servo control, joint torque sensors, and application software development environments. It has broken foreign monopolies and achieved localization of core components, In 2022, it became the first and only collaborative robot enterprise to win the national "manufacturing single champion".

In response to the diverse applications in various industries, Aibo Intelligent has developed multiple series of products, such as i-series collaborative robots for industrial applications, C-series collaborative robots for commercial services, E-series collaborative robots for education, and mobile collaborative robots.

At present, AOBO intelligent products have been widely used in various fields such as 3C electronics, automotive parts, education, new retail, medicine and medical treatment, and gradually penetrate from the industrial field to diversified non industrial fields. It is the first enterprise to introduce collaborative robots into the field of big health and the first enterprise to launch petrochemical explosion-proof collaborative robots. In recent years, the sales share in the non industrial field has reached more than four layers of total sales.

At the beginning of 2022, Aibo Intelligence collaborated with Xiuyu Group to launch the world's first pain relieving therapy robot - Xiaotong Robot, and announced that it will deliver 10000 products within 3 years. This is the largest single order in the history of the collaborative robot industry and also means that the application of collaborative robots in the big health field has been preliminarily recognized. Currently, Aibo Intelligence products have accumulated sales of 3800 sets in the large-scale application of the big health industry.
