About Hitbot / 慧灵科技

Established in 2015, Huiling Technology, which operates under the brand name Hitbot, is a robotics company specializing in lightweight, desktop collaborative robots (cobots) and electric robotic grippers. The company was founded by Tian Jun, who serves as the CEO. Core members of the Hitbot team are graduates of the Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT), and the company has partnered with the university to create a joint robotics lab to foster research and development.

Hitbot aims to make automation more accessible and affordable, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The business focuses on lowering the barrier to entry for automation by providing cost-effective and user-friendly robotic solutions. Its revenue is generated through the sale of its robotic hardware. The company has a significant client roster that includes major corporations like Xiaomi, Huawei, Foxconn, and Panasonic. Hitbot has also attracted considerable investment from firms such as Lenovo, Shunwei Capital, and CCV Capital.

The company's product line consists of 4-axis and 6-axis collaborative robot arms, electric grippers, and linear actuators. These robots are designed for a variety of applications in the light industry, including 3D printing, material handling, welding, laser engraving, and assembly. A key feature is their ease of use, with programming options like graphical teaching, app-based controls, and drag-to-teach functionality, which simplifies operation for users without extensive programming experience. The robots are engineered with a direct-drive structure and self-developed servo motors and encoder software to enhance simplicity and performance. Hitbot has a production facility of over 10,000 square meters and began its overseas operations in 2018, with products now sold in over 80 countries.
