About Yobotics
Yobotics develops legged robots for inspection, emergency response, industrial operations and other environments where mobility over irregular terrain matters. Its portfolio includes electric and hydraulic quadrupeds, wheeled-legged variants and the Walker Taishan humanoid platform. The company develops joint modules, controllers and motion algorithms in-house.
Fan Yong founded the Jinan company in 2014 after working in telecommunications technology. Yobotics has expanded from research and education into patrol, load-carrying, emergency and special-purpose applications. Its second-generation Walker Taishan entered small-scale trial production, while a September 2026 Series A+ round is funding product development, delivery capacity and expansion of the sales and service network.
