About

KEENON Robotics was founded in Shanghai in 2010 and is a global leader in commercial service robots; founder Li Tong has 15 years in the industry. Per IDC, its commercial service robot shipments ranked No.1 globally in 2025, with its delivery robot business continuing to lead. The company pursues a complementary strategy of general humanoid robots plus dedicated service robots: the XMAN-R1 humanoid handles flexible manipulation and human-robot interaction (it can work with coffee machines to prepare drinks), while dedicated robots such as the Peanut T series and DINERBOT T9 take on high-frequency delivery and cleaning tasks. More than 100,000 service robots are now deployed across 70+ countries and regions, with customers including Burger King, Buffalo Wild Wings, Hilton, BMW, LEGO, Shangri-La, and other well-known brands; with Shangri-La it opened the world's first smart hotel deploying both humanoid robots and service robots. Its valuation topped RMB 10B in 2025, and it has completed a shareholding restructuring and is advancing the listing process.

Technical Approach

A division-of-labor strategy pairing general humanoids with dedicated service robots: the XMAN-R1 humanoid handles flexible manipulation and human-robot interaction, while dedicated robots handle high-frequency delivery and cleaning tasks in a complementary split; multi-robot scheduling, autonomous navigation, and scenario-based deployment capabilities cover full workflows across restaurants, hotels, retail, and healthcare.
