Zhiyuan Robotics

On the RoboColiseum benchmark built by Zhiyuan Robotics with universities and the open-source community, Yuanli Lingji's embodied foundation model DM0.5 ranks first on all four sub-leaderboards: instruction following (0.8444), spatial understanding (0.6146), disturbance adaptation (0.7344), and general manipulation (0.6370). The company says DM0.5 is currently the only model topping all four boards; it attributes the result to a strong pretraining base plus standard supervised fine-tuning, without task-specific optimization.

The model's core latency dropped from 534 ms to 57.49 ms, and it has native 60-second memory. In logistics sorting it averages about 3 seconds per item with accuracy above 99%, according to the company. Separately, GeoVLA, a collaboration between Yuanli Lingji, Tsinghua University and Tianjin University, was nominated for the IROS 2026 Cognitive Robotics Best Paper Award.

Fullive.ai, an AI sleep hardware company founded less than a year ago, has closed its third funding round. China Merchants Venture Capital led the round, while Hillhouse Capital participated in all three rounds; Zhiyuan Robotics also joined the shareholder register. The company's first product, Somni, is an AI bedside sleep lamp that uses millimeter-wave radar and environmental sensors with a response model for closed-loop sleep intervention, and it plans mass production this year. The amount was not disclosed.
