About Liqing Intelligence
Liqing Intelligence develops data-collection equipment and software infrastructure for robot learning. Its T1 glove range captures hand motion for teleoperation and imitation learning, with the Pro configuration adding palm pressure and contact sensing. EgoDepth combines surrounding RGB cameras with depth, inertial and audio recording for close-range manipulation tasks. Together, these devices capture demonstrations that connect human movement with a task's visual and physical context.
The company is developing a shared intelligence layer for robot arms, dexterous hands and humanoids. Its workflow links captured data, model training, physical simulation and deployment feedback, with open interfaces intended to support different hardware manufacturers. Its PWM differentiable physics engine supports simulation and reinforcement learning after initial alignment with real-machine data. Manufacturing, logistics, healthcare and services are intended application areas; cross-robot transfer remains a development objective rather than a guarantee for every machine.

Timeline
Events
- 2026-10-08 - Funding - Liqing Intelligence completes angel and angel-plus financing
New participants include CMC Capital, Guoqi Investment, a CICC Capital fund and several regional industry funds. Existing backers Shunwei Capital, Century Golden Resources, Frees Fund and the Tsinghua Alumni Seed Fund made follow-on investments. Proceeds support physical-world data pipelines, models, simulation, evaluation and deployment across different robot bodies.

Orbbec will provide depth-camera data collection equipment for the world-model training workflow. Liqing will open its physical-world model and data pipeline capabilities as the joint solution's algorithm foundation. Technical work will align visual sensors with simulated environments so real and simulated data share a consistent perception layer.
