Beijing Orion Star Technology

Beijing Orion Star Technology, founded in September 2016 by Fu Sheng, operates as a service robotics and artificial intelligence company. Fu Sheng, also the CEO of Cheetah Mobile, has a background that includes roles at Qihoo 360 and Matrix Partners China, and he founded Conew Image before leading Cheetah Mobile's successful international expansion and subsequent NYSE listing. OrionStar was established as a subsidiary of Cheetah Mobile and later saw Cheetah Mobile increase its stake to a controlling interest in December 2023, integrating OrionStar's financials into its own.

The company focuses on developing intelligent service robots to automate tasks in various industries, thereby addressing labor shortages and improving operational efficiency. Its business model centers on the design and manufacturing of AI-based automation equipment, with a Robotics-as-a-Service (RaaS) model making the technology more accessible. OrionStar's revenue is generated through the sale and deployment of its robotic solutions to a global business customer base. The company serves clients across hospitality, retail, healthcare, logistics, and manufacturing sectors.

OrionStar's product portfolio is built upon its proprietary full-chain AI technology, which includes voice interaction, image recognition, and visual navigation. A key achievement was winning first place in a Microsoft celebrity recognition competition. The company offers a range of robots designed for specific functions: the "LuckiBot" series for food delivery in restaurants, "GreetingBot" models for customer reception and interaction, "CarryBot" for warehouse and factory logistics, and "CleaniBot" for autonomous commercial cleaning. These robots are designed to handle tasks like delivering meals, guiding customers, restocking shelves, and processing orders to enhance productivity and customer experience. Notably, five of its robot models were utilized for contactless services at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics.
