Shanghai Ling Universe Technology Development Co., Ltd.

Ling Universe is a technology company at the forefront of AI and human-computer interaction, creating "companion" robots for households worldwide. Anchored by lingOS, our proprietary robot OS, we build hardware that redefines how people and machines interact. In 2016, founder Jiawei Gu and his team pioneered screen-free, touch-based robotics with Luka—the world's first multimodal AI reading robot—now nearly 10 million units shipped, and winner of Germany's iF and Red Dot awards and America's IDEA. In 2025, we extended robotics from fixed settings to mobile companionship with AI Cube, a portable AI companion uniting affective computing and cognitive intelligence to turn the world around it into a space for conversation and learning. We believe technology's highest purpose is to empower people: a robot should be not merely a tool, but a discerning companion that understands, accompanies, and empowers those it serves—advancing toward a future in which humans and AI flourish together.
