About Zhuge Robotics
Zhuge Robotics develops assistive robots and accessibility technology in Yantai, China. Founded in January 2009, it combines robot development with accessible software, digital services and campus systems for blind and visually impaired users. Its AI LOOK guidance robot uses multisensor perception and autonomous navigation to assist pedestrian movement, while Fubao and other accessibility systems address additional daily-living and institutional needs.
AI LOOK has been demonstrated in public user-experience sessions, including the September 2025 China International Welfare Expo. Zhuge's wider work includes accessible teaching, examination and library systems, and a smart-campus platform operating at Binzhou Medical University. The company also contributes to accessibility standards and testing. Its October 2026 pre-A financing supports continued technical development and wider deployment of its assistive technology.
