Weilan Intelligent Technology (Nanjing) has been named to the 2025 Forbes China Top 50 AI Tech Companies list—a well-earned recognition for one of China’s earliest pioneers in embodied AI.

Founded in 2019, Weilan has emerged as a prominent innovator in next-gen robotics. A mere 3 months after launch, the team developed its first-generation robot dog prototype. By 2021, the C-series robot dog had set a new world record for running speed. Then in 2023, BabyAlpha went global—drawing attention from across the AI community.

In just five years, Weilan has evolved from R&D breakthroughs to real-world adoption, building a product matrix that spans quadruped robots, humanoids, and developer kits—each tailored to different markets and use cases.

This is what scaling innovation looks like: built in Nanjing, designed for the world.
