Description
AstroDroid AD-01 represents INFIFORCE’s push to bring embodied AI from concept to reality. As part of ELU.AI Technology Group’s “One Brain, Multiple Bodies, Multiple Scenarios” vision, AD-01 is built to integrate seamlessly into complex real-world environments across manufacturing, logistics and retail.
The Humanoid Robot Market Report 2026
At the core is our Hyper-VLA (Vision-Language-Action) end-to-end multimodal model. AD-01 understands natural language, perceives changing scenes in real time and autonomously generates appropriate actions—targeting ~200 ms end-to-end latency.
Each 11-DOF dexterous hand is engineered for precision and strength, from delicate assembly to robust material handling. Comprehensive force-torque feedback gives AD-01 human-like adaptability when grasping and manipulating diverse objects.
AD-01 combines a wheeled mobility platform—ideal for efficient indoor coverage—with a humanoid upper body for skilled manipulation. This hybrid design delivers practical advantages on factory floors, in warehouses and in retail spaces.
A modular architecture and ROS compatibility make AD-01 straightforward to integrate with existing automation. Cloud–edge collaborative computing supports continuous learning, remote updates and capability expansion over time.
Developed by a team with 70%+ PhD/Master’s degrees (Tsinghua, Zhejiang, Stanford) and experience from Alibaba, Huawei and Baidu. ELU has joint innovation labs with Zhejiang University and is a member of NVIDIA Inception.
• Featured at Alibaba Cloud Summit 2025
• BEYOND Expo Best Choice Awards (Top 20 in Asia)
• Selected for Hangzhou Major Innovation Projects 2025
• Backed by Genesis Capital Partners and Hangzhou Industrial Group
AD-01 is in an advanced prototype stage with pilot deployments planned for 2025. We welcome inquiries for collaboration, pilots and custom development.
