Huiyu Keji

Shenzhen Huiyu Education Technology Co., Ltd., also known as Huiyu Keji, is a high-tech enterprise specializing in the development and sales of intelligent educational robots for children aged 0-14. Founded in 2014 by Chen Zhongliu, the company integrates hardware research and development, software platform creation, and content development. The firm's flagship product is the 'Honeybot' (or 'Little Ha'), an early education companion robot. This product functions as a multi-purpose device, combining the features of an AR learning machine, a smart robot, a Bluetooth speaker, a storyteller, a video monitor, and a tablet.

Huiyu Keji operates in the smart-education hardware market, targeting parents and educational institutions. The business model combines hardware sales with content and software services, aiming to provide a comprehensive educational ecosystem. The company is one of the first in China to independently develop both robotics and accompanying AR kindergarten curricula. This integrated approach allows it to create a holistic learning experience that blends technology with educational content to foster a love for learning in children.

The company has secured significant funding to support its growth. Its financing history includes a 10 million RMB Angel round in December 2014, a 35.5 million RMB Pre-A round in September 2017 from investors including InnoAngel Fund and Foxconn, and a 60 million RMB Series A round in October 2018 led by Haier Capital. These investments have fueled its product development and market expansion efforts.
