Recently, Tian’an New Materials, a leader in the new materials field, announced that it has completed a strategic investment in Guangdong Ruibo Intelligent Robotics Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Ruibo Robotics”) by acquiring an 18% equity stake. The two sides will “share resources + complement each other’s advantages”: Ruibo Robotics will rely on Tian’an New Materials’ resources to accelerate technological research and development and market expansion; Tian’an will use Ruibo Robotics’ intelligent hardware and robot application scenarios to verify the industrialization path of electronic skin.
Ruibo Robotics: Focusing on Core Servo Control Technology, Deeply Engaged in Industrial AI
Founded in 2016, Ruibo Robotics focuses on the research and development of core algorithms for servo drive and control systems, and is one of the earliest domestic companies to layout industrial AI technology. In terms of the team, the company has a world-class R&D team from the top in the industry. Its founder, Li Lanyun, is a senior computer expert.
Hardcore Technological Breakthroughs Solve “bottleneck” Problems, Verifying Industrialization Capability in Multiple Scenarios
Robot servo drive and control technology, which combines power and command functions, has extremely high technical barriers and great R&D difficulty, and has long been recognized as a “tough nut” in the industry. Ruibo’s core competitiveness precisely lies in this field.
Ruibo Robotics has independently developed an industrial operating system (OS), high-precision servo and control systems, and a small-model low-code AI algorithm technology platform, building a technology matrix covering artificial intelligence, robotics, industrial internet and other fields. The core algorithms of its independently developed high-precision drive system and control system are among the 35 national-level major “bottleneck technologies” listed by the Ministry of Science and Technology. In addition, the company is one of the initiators of the national standard for servo drives, with technical indicators reaching the international leading level, and is widely used in aerospace and national defense military fields, realizing domestic substitution. In terms of technology implementation, Ruibo Robotics has transformed its hardcore technologies into upgrading solutions for multiple traditional industries, injecting “new intelligent genes”: from micron-level intelligent spraying of aero-engine blades, to rubber-harvesting “robot cows” adapted to tropical rainforest environments, to intelligent aquatic product processing factories, all demonstrating the adaptability of its technology to different scenarios. In the field of precision assembly of bathroom products, its core servo control technology has also empowered the Tap Control Button Assembly Machine. Through real-time torque feedback and visual positioning calibration, it realizes millimeter-level precise engagement between buttons and valve bodies, increasing assembly efficiency by 40% while ensuring consistent button pressing feel, further expanding the application boundary of the technology in civil manufacturing fields.
Deep Involvement in Multiple Fields, Cooperation with Leading Enterprises Consolidates Market Position
Taking the aquatic product processing field as an example, the aquatic product processing AI robot developed by Ruibo can process more than 1,000 fish per hour, with a recognition rate of over 99% for the heads and tails of various aquatic products such as bass, tilapia, and soft-shelled turtles. After applying this robot, the factory’s labor demand was directly reduced to 40% of the original, while the daily output increased to 60,000-80,000 catties, making its processing capacity rank among the leading positions in China.
With these high-value intelligent solutions, Ruibo Robotics has deeply entered key fields such as aerospace, agriculture, and medical care. Industry leaders such as Huawei, Dongfeng, China Southern Power Grid, Nissan, and Midea have all become its strategic partners, further consolidating its market position.
Tian’an New Materials: Stable Main Business with Increased Cross-Border Efforts, Exploring the Industrialization Path of Electronic Skin
As the leading party in this strategic investment, Tian’an New Materials is an enterprise specializing in the production of environmentally friendly high-end decorative materials and automotive interior materials. In the first half of 2025, the company achieved an operating income of 1.444 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 3.97%; a net profit attributable to the parent company of 62.169 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 16.59%; and a non-net profit attributable to the parent company of 60.0972 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 20.04%. The company invested a total of 54.0884 million yuan in R&D in the first half of the year, a year-on-year increase of 19.02%, providing strong support for cross-border exploration.
While stabilizing its main businesses such as decorative materials and automotive interiors, Tian’an New Materials is actively seizing the development opportunities of the robotics industry and exploring the cross-border application of new materials in the field of artificial intelligence. Relying on more than 20 years of deep accumulation in the field of polymer composite facing materials, the company takes its core advantage of skin-feel facing materials as the technical origin, and continues to promote the extension and exploration of homologous technologies. The 2024 annual report shows that its electronic skin is still in the stage of technical exploration and laboratory research, and no applicable products have been formed yet. The building ceramics industry is stepping on the “downward accelerator”, with overcapacity already full, and coupled with the real estate sector still fluctuating at the bottom, the focus of industry competition is rapidly shifting to stock competition. In this predicament, breaking through into emerging fields such as robotics and artificial intelligence may become one of Tian’an New Materials’ strategic directions.
Cross-Border Integration Becomes a New Trend, “Two-Way Journey” Between New Materials and Robotics Arouses Expectations
Tian’an New Materials’ old competitors have already taken the lead in the robotics track. Take Kingfa Science & Technology, the global leader in modified plastics. It not only tied up with humanoid robot company Unitree through indirect shareholding, but also put its core materials into practical use – its self-developed ultra-temperature-resistant and wear-resistant PPA (polyphthalamide) and PEEK (polyetheretherketone) have successfully entered the manufacturing of key components for humanoid robots and robot dogs, building a “capital + technology” dual moat.
It is obvious that the “two-way integration” of new materials and robotics has become a new trend in cross-border competition in the manufacturing industry. For Tian’an New Materials, whether it can rely on Ruibo’s scenario resources to accelerate the implementation of electronic skin technology while withstanding the “suppression” from competitors in core materials has become one of its must-answer questions. What the future holds is worth looking forward to.
