Based in Shanghai, China, Bangbang Robotics was founded in 2016 by Li Jianguo. The company operates in the assistive technology and robotics market, focusing on developing devices to enhance mobility for the elderly and individuals with disabilities. Its business model encompasses the entire value chain, including research and development, manufacturing, and sales. A significant portion of its revenue, approximately 35%, is generated from overseas markets, with its products sold in over 20 countries across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, in addition to its domestic market in China.
