“Huawei Genius Youth” Entrepreneurial Project Valued at over $1 Billion by Baidu Investment Company

Zhi Huijun, originally named Peng Zhihui, was born in 1993 in Ji’an, Jiangxi. He is well-known in the technology industry and is known as the “Huawei Genius Youth” and “Wild Iron Man”. He has posted many videos of hardcore technology products on Bilibili, such as autonomous bicycles, modular mechanical keyboards, robotic arms, etc., which have attracted widespread attention and discussion.
He used to be an algorithm engineer at the AI laboratory of OPPO Research Institute, and later joined Huawei’s Talent Youth Program to engage in research related to Ascension AI chips and AI algorithms. He was also praised by Ren Zhengfei in his speech as a driving force for Huawei’s innovation.
On December 27, 2022, Zhi Huijun posted on Weibo to respond to rumors that he had resigned from Huawei to start a business. His entrepreneurial project is Zhiyuan Robotics, dedicated to deeply integrating AI and robots.

Recently, Zhiyuan Robot completed its third round of financing, with a market valuation exposed to be around one billion US dollars.
According to the app Tianyancha, the new shareholders in this round include Robin Lee’s Sanya Baichuan Zhixin Private Equity Investment Fund Partnership (limited partnership), as well as front-line VC such as Jingwei and Gao Rong, with the registered capital increased to about 48.4702 million yuan.
The business scope includes the research and development of intelligent robots, the development of artificial intelligence theory and algorithm software, the sales of artificial intelligence hardware, and the sales of electronic products.
In Zhi Huijun’s latest Bilibili video, the new bipedal robot Nezha is displayed. This robot adopts a combination style of “National Wind Myth” and “Cyber Machinery”, with features such as “wheel+foot” biphasic legs and an off screen camera.
Zhihui Jun stated that if there were no accidents, Nezha would serve as a colored egg at a press conference for a major event they are currently preparing for later this year.
Zhiyuan Robot, the entrepreneurial project of Zhi Huijun, is undoubtedly a team full of imagination and creativity. They not only have high-end technical capabilities and product strength, but also have strong market influence and capital support.
It’s believed that under the leadership of Zhi Huijun, Zhiyuan robots will bring us more surprises and shocks.
