Xinyaotu Technology (Zhuhai)

Xinyaotu Technology (Zhuhai) Co., Ltd., also known as Solitorch, is a full-stack provider of single-chip solutions that integrate sensor and computing capabilities. Founded in 2022, the company specializes in the research, development, and mass production of these "sense-compute integrated" intelligent sensors. The founding team is primarily composed of experts and PhDs with backgrounds from the Shanghai Institute of Microsystem and Information Technology (SIMIT) at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, who bring nearly 15 years of industry experience to the venture. The founder is Mr. Li Jinpeng.

The company's core technology addresses the challenges of high operational costs, system power consumption, and processing burdens associated with the high-frequency, multi-dimensional data generated by new-generation silicon-based sensors. By integrating AI computing power directly onto the sensor chip, Solitorch's solutions reduce the need for massive data storage and transmission, lowering power consumption and improving response times. This business model enables the widespread deployment of intelligent IoT terminals by providing a cost-effective solution for edge computing. In March 2023, the company announced the completion of its first round of financing from Highsuns Capital, a venture capital firm focused on early-stage "Smart Technology" investments. The funding is being used to expand the R&D team and accelerate the mass production of its silicon-based intelligent sensors.

Solitorch's first product is an intelligent vision sensor that features an event-driven dynamic inference architecture, an optimized AI acceleration engine, and a unique ultra-lightweight computing inference model. The entire product, which includes a built-in AI engine and wireless transmission capabilities, is smaller than 1cm², has an average power consumption as low as 1mW, and a response time as low as 30ms. It can operate offline to perform tasks like text and value recognition, object perception and classification, and gesture or posture recognition. The company targets markets such as smart homes, security, automotive, municipal services, and industry, offering a new edge AI computing solution.
