Zhiyuan's Peng Zhihui: The full-stack route is a mandatory choice for humanoid robot companies
Peng Zhihui, co-founder, president and CTO of Zhiyuan, said at the 2026 Zhiyuan Innovation Day that the full-stack route is a mandatory choice rather than an option for humanoid robot companies. He believes that being only a hardware body supplier would leave a company with weak competitiveness; it must be scenario-oriented and combine sufficiently generalized model capabilities, a reliable body, and software-hardware system capabilities to meet deployment-state requirements.

On October 29, at the 2026 Zhiyuan Innovation Day held in Shanghai, Peng Zhihui, co-founder, president and CTO of Zhiyuan, said that the full-stack route is a mandatory choice for humanoid robotics companies, not an option. He believes that being only a hardware body supplier would result in very weak competitiveness; companies must be scenario-oriented and combine sufficiently generalized model capabilities, a reliable body, and software and hardware system capabilities to meet deployment requirements.
