![]() Before starting Vincross, Tianqi worked as an AI scientist at Tsinghua University, where he researched on neural modeling and neural networks. As the company's CEO, Tianqi has extensive experience in robotics and artificial intelligence. Taking that into account, HEXA can precisely fill the void of legged robotics in the consumer market. Such technical features inevitably alien the Alphabet subsidiary from general consumers. Its robot dogs and humanoids wowed people with their mobility, but those machines rely heavily on diesel fuel and hydraulics. And as it is well known, when it comes to legged robotics, Boston Dynamics gains the most spotlight. With this uniqueness, HEXA can do what others can't, such as scientific exploration, firefighting and rescue operations. The six legs free the robot from any restraint of the outside world and make it move dexterously on rough terrain. As a result, HEXA easily stands out from the crowd with its hexapod structure. The current consumer robotics market is dominated by wheeled and motionless products. In a way, HEXA's future begins with them,” the company's founder and CEO Sun Tianqi said. We call them HEXA's human mentors, and they will be the first group of people to adopt this robot. “We are seeking 2,048 insightful developers to train HEXA. Vincross said developers can create “skills” for HEXA using the SDK, which will be released soon, and sell their works in the company's Skill Store. The startup is inviting interested developers to build new functions for the hexapod, to fulfill its immense potential. According to the company, HEXA is a living being and a primary state of an artificial life. Thus, it has created an open ecosystem for HEXA. Unlike all those robotics companies that make wheeled and motionless products, Vincross believes a robot is not only a body that can interact with the physical world, but also a brain that can learn. Vincross also says the robot can be used in firefighting, rescue operations, and even Elon Musk's Mars plan. This six-legged robot-spider can walk, climb, and travel across rough terrain, which makes it suitable for scientific expeditions. ![]() The company is about to launch its first product - all-terrain robot HEXA, and it will be the first robot that can climb stairs in the market. When some AI companies are too busy building robots with wheels and faces, Vincross takes a totally different approach.
