An embodied-AI company co-founded by a former Huawei autonomous-driving lead, aiming at a general home robot.

Morphi (Moqi Intelligence) was founded in late 2025 by CTO Qingqiu Huang and CEO Wenli Gao. Huang has an undergraduate degree from Tsinghua's automation department and a PhD from the Chinese University of Hong Kong's Multimedia Lab, and previously led the AI division of Huawei's autonomous-driving vehicle unit; Gao co-founded the cross-border logistics company iMile. The company wants to bring the data loops, on-device model optimization, and mass-production quality control proven in autonomous driving over to robotics, planning to first deploy in commercial settings such as hotel service and last-mile delivery to gather real-world data, before moving into the home. In July 2026 it announced a Series A round of angel-stage funding exceeding RMB 1 billion, led by Alibaba and Tencent, at a reported post-money valuation above RMB 7 billion.
