About
About Striding AI / 正行创新
Striding AI combines world-action modelling and reinforcement learning with a portfolio of robot bodies. Its H1 humanoid is intended for general work in human environments, while C1 combines mobile navigation and manipulation for handling tasks in constrained spaces. A1 addresses precision manipulation, including picking, handoffs and assembly.
The company's retail application work connects multimodal perception to grasping, transport and restocking as product shapes, materials and placement change. This gives its model development a concrete operating context in which navigation and object interaction must work together. Its stated direction is to build reusable physical intelligence across commercial and industrial robot configurations.

Events
- 2026-10-08 - Product Launch - Striding AI’s CP Robotics unveils H1 and C1 retail robots with M1 fleet platform
Early partners will begin co-development and validation in real stores, with formal commercial service planned for 2027 through direct purchase or subscriptions. Core navigation, grasping and task execution can run locally; remote monitoring and human intervention use network connectivity. C1 is designed to move through narrow convenience-store aisles, while M1 coordinates tasks and monitors robot status across the fleet.
