About

CloudMinds is an operator of cloud-based cognitive robotics systems founded in March 2015 by Bill Huang, a veteran of China Mobile Research Institute. Headquartered in Beijing, the company developed the Human Augmented Robotics Intelligence with Extreme Reality (HARIX) platform and a secure VBN (Virtual Body Network) infrastructure enabling cloud-connected robots to offload computation to the cloud. CloudMinds expanded operations to 25 countries and raised substantial backing from SoftBank and other investors. The company faced challenges after being added to the U.S. Entity List in 2019 amid trade tensions, which blocked its planned U.S. IPO and forced a restructuring of its U.S. operations. CloudMinds subsequently refocused on the Chinese market and continued developing cloud robotics and AI services.
