Qingniao Zhikong: Quadruped Robot Body Targets Small-Batch Production by Year-End

In an October 31 investor relations update, Qingniao Zhikong (002960.SZ) said its quadruped robot body is expected to achieve small-batch production by the end of this year. The Shenzhen-listed company was responding to investor questions about its positioning in physical AI and robotics, as well as its collaboration with 58 Robot and future plans. The disclosure places Qingniao Zhikong among companies seeking to commercialize legged robotic platforms, though it did not specify production volume, deployment scenarios or customer targets. The update offers a timeline for the company's quadruped hardware while leaving broader details of its physical AI strategy and 58 Robot partnership undisclosed. The year-end production target will be watched as an early indicator of whether Qingniao Zhikong can move from prototype development to repeatable manufacturing.
