SudoAI

SudoAI (苏度科技) is a Shanghai-based embodied AI company that builds general-purpose humanoid robots trained entirely on simulation data. Its flagship robot, Sudo R1, can navigate obstacles and grasp over 100 object types with near-100% first-attempt success rate without scene-specific fine-tuning — powered by an integrated world model and reinforcement learning architecture. Founded by serial entrepreneur Han Zheng and Chief Technology Advisor Professor Hao Su (former UCSD, inaugural Dean of the Fudan Institute of General Physical Intelligence), the company targets industrial assembly, retail inventory, and commercial service automation. Backed by Alibaba, Tencent, CATL, GL Ventures, and IDG Capital, SudoAI reached a $2 billion+ valuation within its first year.
