Hangzhou's Six Little Dragons
杭州六小龙AdvancedA 2025 nickname for six Hangzhou tech companies that rose to fame together, two of them robotics makers.
“Hangzhou's Six Little Dragons” is a label that became popular in Chinese media and online discussion in early 2025 for six Hangzhou-headquartered tech companies: Game Science, DeepSeek, Unitree Robotics, DEEP Robotics, BrainCo, and Manycore Tech. It caught on after Black Myth: Wukong, the DeepSeek models, and Unitree's robots appearing at the CCTV Spring Festival Gala all went viral in succession. Of the six, Unitree and DEEP Robotics make quadruped and humanoid robots, BrainCo makes brain-computer interfaces and bionic hands, and Manycore Tech makes spatial-design software and spatial-intelligence models, which is why this term often appears in embodied-AI coverage. It's a media label, not an official list.
ExampleAfter Unitree's humanoid robots performed “Yangbot” at the 2025 Spring Festival Gala, the phrase “Hangzhou's Six Little Dragons” spread quickly.
