As the evening breeze swept across the Cannes coastline under the spotlights of "China Night" at the 79th Cannes Film Festival and the inaugural Golden Coast Honors Ceremony, a special group of guests captured global attention. Magiclab Robotics (MagicLab) featured its full robot lineup to greet guests, co-host the ceremony, guide cultural exhibits, and deliver precision service, seamlessly integrating into this top-tier international event. Serving as the chief partner, this emerging tech enterprise leveraged its full-stack proprietary embodied AI technology to bridge tech and culture, presenting Chinese innovation and Eastern aesthetics on the global stage.
The rise of Magiclab Robotics reflects the rapid growth of China's humanoid robotics industry. Founded in January 2024, Magiclab Robotics focuses on general-purpose robotics and embodied AI technology deployment, rapidly entering the top tier of the industry.
The core team brings together veterans from leading robotics enterprises, with over 80% dedicated to R&D. The team possesses years of expertise across hardware platforms, core algorithms, and real-world implementation. Since its inception, the company has completed two funding rounds totaling hundreds of millions of RMB: a 150 million RMB round in December 2024, followed by a 500 million RMB strategic investment round in March 2026. Investors include Hechuang Zhiyuan, Chuagchuang Venture Capital, and Wuxi Liangxi State-owned Capital.
Powered by strategic capital, Magiclab Robotics established its "1+2+N" framework to build a strong technological moat:
"1" Full-Stack In-House Capability: Achieves a 90% in-house development rate for hardware, spanning 23 core components including joint modules, dexterous hands, and reducers to control costs and optimize performance. The proprietary "Atomic Cosmos" AI model adopts a dual-mode "Brain-Cerebellum" architecture trained on millions of real-world operational data points, enabling autonomous task planning and dynamic decision-making.
"2" Core Product Lines: Features general-purpose bipedal humanoid robots (MagicBot series) and bionic quadruped robots (MagicPanda series), covering industrial, commercial, and residential applications.
"N" 1,000 Scenarios Co-Creation Initiative: Partners with 1,000 global collaborators to co-develop 1,000 real-world humanoid robot applications, transitioning technology from laboratories into physical environments.
This technical foundation powers diverse deployments: in industrial manufacturing, the full-sized humanoid "Xiaomai" handles material transport, dispensing, and inspection at Dreame factories with an operational success rate exceeding 85%; in commercial retail, automated coffee and tea kiosk solutions are accelerating market reach; in assistive tech, the quadruped guide dog project "Guangyin 001" addresses accessibility needs. The product lineup presented at Cannes—including MagicBot Z1, MagicBot Gen1, MagicDog, MagicDog-W, MagicDog Y1, and MagicPanda—demonstrates the company's matured commercial service and interaction capabilities.
Magiclab Robotics continues to invest in core tech R&D, upgrading its "Atomic Cosmos" AI model and optimizing motion control, multimodal perception, and embodied manipulation capabilities to overcome industry challenges in complex environments.
Scenario deployment is accelerating rapidly. Through the "1,000 Scenarios Co-Creation Initiative," Magiclab Robotics is expanding across industrial, commercial, cultural tourism, accessibility, and residential domains while deepening cross-industry integration with film, culture, and art to drive high-quality industrial transformation.
Global expansion continues to advance steadily. Following its appearance at Cannes, Magiclab Robotics is accelerating its international strategy. Supported by localized teams across 27 countries in North America, Europe, and Southeast Asia, the company customizes products and solutions to meet regional market demands, bringing Chinese embodied AI products to global markets.
Cultural integration remains a key priority. Magiclab Robotics will continue to merge technology with cultural heritage, incorporating Eastern aesthetics and cultural elements into product design, interactive experiences, and application scenarios to share Chinese innovation with international audiences.
From its R&D laboratories in Wuxi Liangxi Tech City to the international stage at Cannes, Magiclab Robotics continues to push boundaries, leveraging embodied AI, cultural storytelling, and a global outlook to demonstrate the power of intelligent manufacturing on the world stage.
