NineRay Technology
NineRay Technology (九光技术), registered in Shenzhen as 深圳九光控股有限公司, is a Chinese embodied-intelligence robotics company founded by Xu Zhigen. Rather than buying in key parts, it develops joints and control systems, high-density motors, drivers and reducers, collaborative arms, mobile platforms and intelligent operating systems, and it is building a wider ecosystem around humanoid robots. It has a regional base at Hong Kong Science Park, which Xu calls its base for globalization because of the city's access to global markets, talent, capital and university research. On August 17, 2026 it launched its third-generation humanoid, RayNex G3, in Hong Kong. The robot is 173 cm tall and weighs under 60 kg, with 32 degrees of freedom, including seven in each arm. NineRay says it can carry 30 kg while working, deadlift 100 to 200 kg and hold 60 kg with both arms, and it was demonstrated holding a 50 kg barbell. NineRay targets bulk conveyance, warehouse logistics and precision work, and says food, beverage and nuclear-power firms have approached it.
💡Notable Achievement: RayNex G3 weighs under 60 kg but NineRay says it can deadlift 100 to 200 kg; it held a 50 kg barbell at its Hong Kong launch.
