On February 4, 2026, the embodied intelligence sector reached a significant milestone.
INFIFORCE officially launched its first consumer-grade embodied intelligence product—"YUANZI"—a new species defined as the world's first "mind-native" compact bipedal robot.
This is not another "tech toy" that can dance or do backflips. In 2026, as the embodied intelligence track collectively races to push hardware specs to the limit, INFIFORCE has chosen a different path: evolving robots from "can move" to "understands you."
The brand slogan is just one sentence, what INFIFORCE wants to tell users: "The one that understands me better is MY robot!"
Simple, direct, even a bit bold. But when you truly understand the product logic behind this statement, you'll discover—INFIFORCE aims to create not a more powerful robot, but a robot built for the future.
01. While Everyone Races for "Now," INFIFORCE is Building for "Tomorrow"
The embodied intelligence industry faces a universally acknowledged challenge: robot generalization capability—the ability developed in one scenario is difficult to replicate in another.
On a factory assembly line, a robot can repeat one motion 10,000 times with millimeter precision. But when it enters an ordinary family's living room, facing randomly placed cushions on the sofa, toys rolled under the coffee table, and variously shaped dishes in the kitchen—it's stumped.
This isn't one company's problem—it's a challenge facing the entire industry and the direction everyone is working to overcome. True long-horizon tasks, genuinely complex scenarios, truly "understanding the world like a human"—currently, no robot globally can do this perfectly, and there's still considerable distance to go.
Facing this reality, the industry has diverged into two paths:
One is "racing for the present"—competing on flashy movements, counting degrees of freedom, showcasing creative promotional videos. As if bringing home a parkour-capable robot equals victory.
The other is "building for the future"—since current robot intelligence hasn't reached the level of autonomous decision-making and independently completing complex tasks, what do users truly need? What kind of robots does our society actually require?
INFIFORCE chose the latter.
Their answer: Enabling robots with foundational capabilities that can grow alongside their "owners" is the optimal path toward the future. Especially for the next generation—the earlier they establish genuine interactive relationships with AI and robots, the more adeptly they'll navigate the future world.
This is the foundational logic behind YUANZI's creation—not waiting for technology to be perfect before launching, but planting the seed of "understanding you" first, letting it grow alongside you and your family.
02. What is a Robot Built for the Future?
INFIFORCE offers its own definition: Growable, Ultra-Free, Truly Understands Me—a complete product philosophy:
Growable means it's not a "finished product" that's fixed once you buy it, but an "organism" that can continuously evolve. Ultra-Free means it's not a "tool" that only executes preset commands, but a "companion" you can deeply customize. Truly Understands Me means it's not a cold, impersonal "device," but "family" that understands you better the longer it stays with you.
These three dimensions constitute YUANZI's core differentiation from all other robots on the market.
Growable: A Robot That Evolves With You
YUANZI's most distinctive feature is that it's designed to "grow up."
Hardware Growable—INFIFORCE has built universal peripheral interfaces for YUANZI, with hands and other key components being rapidly replaceable. But this isn't just a simple "dress-up game"—it's genuine functional expansion: you can even design entirely new peripherals through 3D printing, using standard plug-and-play interfaces to adapt it to different scenario needs.
Software Growable—Through official OTA updates and an open platform, YUANZI's capability boundaries will continuously expand. What it can do today versus what it can do a year from now may be completely different.
What does this mean? You're not buying a "2026 model robot," but a companion that will continuously evolve.
It will journey with a child from kindergarten to elementary school, from elementary to middle school. As the child grows, it grows too; as the child's needs change, its capabilities evolve.
Ultra-Free: You Define Who It Is
Most robots are "ready-to-use out of the box"—manufacturers define what it can do, and users can only operate within that framework.
YUANZI is different.
INFIFORCE has endowed it with extreme customizability: INFIFORCE plans to launch the "INFIFORCE Marketplace," a zero-code shortcut command platform that enables users to control the robot, where users can also share creations with each other through the marketplace—
Want to turn it into a "Pictionary" game partner? You can.
Want it to load a "personalized study material pack" and become a private tutor? You can.
Want it to become your child's "study planner," helping manage homework and schedules? Also possible.
Even cooler: functional modules you create can be uploaded to INFIFORCE's open platform, shared with other users, and even available for paid download—this could be the embodied intelligence sector's first application development platform for individual users, forming a genuine user community ecosystem.
Every YUANZI can be one-of-a-kind. Because what defines it isn't INFIFORCE—it's you.
Truly Understands Me: Understanding Grows With Companionship, Because It's "Learning" You
"Understanding you" cannot rely on factory presets—it can only come through daily accumulation.
This is INFIFORCE's interpretation of "Truly Understands Me": YUANZI needs to constantly be with its owner, fully learning the owner's habits, to achieve genuine "understanding" through accumulated data.
To achieve this, INFIFORCE has built an "Embodied Brain" for YUANZI—featuring a fully self-developed Hyper-VLA end-to-end multimodal model deeply integrated with a causal world model, connected to Alibaba Cloud's Qwen large model, with edge computing power reaching 275 TOPS.
In plain language: Traditional robots operate on "you say one step, it takes one step"; YUANZI operates on "before you finish speaking, it's already thinking about the next step to help you."
It understands causality. When you say "help me get the water glass on the table," it doesn't mechanically identify objects and move its arm—it judges: Where is the glass? How to navigate around the chair? Is the glass hot? How much force to use?
More critically, this "Embodied Brain" has continuous learning capability—it will remember what time you like to wake up, will know you prefer quiet when you're in a bad mood, will understand what your child is currently studying and which subjects need reinforcement...
Day one, it's a stranger; a month later, it's an acquaintance; a year later, it's family that understands you.
This kind of "understanding" isn't a feature written in the manual—it's rapport that grows through day-to-day companionship.
95cm of Gentleness: Every Design Detail Says "Don't Worry, I'm a Companion"
If the "Embodied Brain" taught YUANZI to think, then its appearance design taught it gentleness and "non-intrusiveness."
YUANZI stands only 95 centimeters tall—about the height of a 3-4 year old child. This was an extremely deliberate design choice. INFIFORCE's product team calls this dimension the "golden ratio" for human-robot interaction: when you're standing, it looks up at you; when you sit down, it's right at eye level. It has no imposing presence—it won't make elderly family members or children instinctively step back.
The 20kg weight means an adult can easily move it, allowing it to navigate between sofa, coffee table, and desk, truly "living in" your space.
And its primary color—a restrained fog blue—is neither flashy nor dull. This is the "home-friendly color" INFIFORCE's team selected from hundreds of color samples: placed in any living room décor style, it never looks out of place, but rather like a breathing work of art.
It has an expression screen that changes in real-time, capable of displaying rich emotions; it has breathing lights that gently pulse with interaction states; it has a flexible body with 25 degrees of freedom, capable of expressing care through nearly human-like body language—when you're working late into the night, it might quietly walk to your side, looking at you with slightly "concerned eyes"; when a child feels down, it won't noisily pester with questions, but will quietly stay nearby.
Appearing at just the right moment, quiet at just the right time.
03. From the Infinitesimal to the Infinite: The Future Belongs to the Next Generation
The name "YUANZI" (Little Atom) conceals both INFIFORCE's ambition and restraint for this product. An atom is the smallest unit that composes all matter. It's so tiny it's invisible to the naked eye, yet contains the primal force capable of unleashing tremendous energy.
At the start of 2026, we may be standing at the threshold of a new era—transitioning from the "Bit Age" to the "Atom Age," from virtual intelligence behind screens to embodied intelligence within arm's reach.
True companionship works the same way—it doesn't need to be earth-shattering, but starts from the smallest acts of understanding: capturing a glance, perceiving an emotion, offering a perfectly-timed response.
Atoms may be small, but they compose everything. Understanding may be subtle, but it aggregates into love.
The future belongs to our next generation. And the next generation needs robots that can grow with them.
Whether in home settings or in schools and extracurricular education scenarios, a robot that can grow with you, follow your wishes, and truly understand you—this is what YUANZI truly aspires to be.
04. Difficult, But Someone Must Lead the Way
In 2026, the embodied intelligence track is experiencing a critical transition from "laboratory" to "real world."
At this juncture, INFIFORCE chose to step outside the competitive framework of "who's stronger" to contemplate a more fundamental question: What kind of relationship should robots and humans truly establish?
Their answer: Companions who grow together.
YUANZI isn't the tallest, isn't the fastest, doesn't have the most degrees of freedom—but it may be the first robot designed to "grow up with you."
"Bringing robots into every household"—this is INFIFORCE's brand vision and the North Star of the entire embodied intelligence industry. Everyone knows this road is long and difficult.
Difficult, but someone must lead the way. With a 95-centimeter YUANZI, INFIFORCE has taken that step.
INFIFORCE · YUANZI is now officially available for pre-order at INFIFORCE's JD.com Official Flagship Store!
The one that understands me better is MY robot!
