The founder of BridgeDP, Shang Yangxing, born in 1999, graduated with a bachelor's degree from Huazhong University of Science and Technology (2017-2021) and subsequently advanced to postgraduate research at Southern University of Science and Technology under the mentorship of Professor Zhang Wei, the founder of Zhujidongli, and founded BridgeDP in 2023. Under Shang Yangxing's leadership, BridgeDP achieved seamless connection between scientific research achievements and industry demands from its inception, demonstrating strong market adaptability and innovation vitality.

The company boasts a full-chain talent system of 'academic + engineering + business', where the core technical team members hail from renowned domestic and foreign institutions and world-class robotics laboratories such as HUST, SUSTech, CMU, and Beihang University, with an average age of 26. This team gathers top talents from academic frontiers to technical R&D to product delivery. At the same time, the company has established a market and business team with rich global layout experience, with core members having worked for many years in leading enterprises such as Huawei, ZTE, and JD.com, providing solid support for the rapid commercialization and platform implementation of the company.

Breaking Through Pain Points: Filling Industry Gaps and Empowering Industry Maturity

Currently, the embodied intelligence industry is still in the early development stage, with both hardware and small and large brain technology paths not yet converged, lacking unified industry standards and development tools. Especially in the field of robot motion control, it still remains in the manual delivery stage, with great optimization space in delivery effect, delivery efficiency, and delivery cost. BridgeDP, through its self-developed world-first general robot action development platform, is expected to achieve standardized, large-scale, real-time delivery, significantly improving delivery efficiency, reducing delivery costs, and providing a breakthrough solution for the large-scale real-time coupling of generic robot hardware and motion control capabilities, filling the gap in this field of the embodied intelligence industry.

The industry generally believes that the general robot action development platform being developed by BridgeDP is of great value to the industry's development, capable of promoting the establishment of unified standards in the general robot industry and rapidly reaching maturity. Leveraging BridgeDP's deep accumulation in the field of robot motion control, its robot action development platform will provide a strong digital infrastructure base for the development of the embodied intelligence industry, pushing the industry to new heights.

BridgeDP Founder, Shang Yangxing, stated

We sincerely thank our new and existing investors for their recognition and support. BridgeDP is committed to becoming a globally leading technology company focused on developing a general robot action development platform. Following this round of financing, the company will accelerate the productization process of the robot action development platform, offering top-notch operational control capabilities to global general robot hardware developers and application developers, thus assisting in the industry's leapfrog development.

China Renaissance Vice President, Jia Xiuyi, stated

'Intelligence' and 'Actionability' are the two core aspects of embodied robots. BridgeDP focuses on the cerebellum's operational control, endowing robots with outstanding action capabilities, representing an important element in the embodied industry. We will continue to work together, witnessing the industry's embracing of the 'locomotion moment' for the general robot action development platform.
