About PokeBot
PokeBot, also known as Pokebot Robotics, was founded in Beijing in 2026 by Xu Huazhe. It is developing a multipurpose home robot intended to learn object hand-off, storage, tidying and cleaning in unstructured domestic environments.
The technical programme combines an in-house robot body with manipulation and learning software. No production model, launch date or deployment scale has been announced. A nearly US$100 million Pre-A round reported in August 2026 gives the young company substantial development capital but does not itself establish product readiness.
