JD.com Establishes Intelligent Robotics Division Under 3C and Home Appliances Business Unit

According to sources from JD Technology, JD has established an intelligent robotics division, which falls under the 3C home appliances division.

It is reported that JD.com has been actively making moves in the robotics field. On July 21, it completed investments in three leading embodied intelligence companies: Qianxun Intelligence, Zhuji Power, and Zhongqing Robotics. In May 2025, JD.com also participated in a new round of financing for Zhiyuan Robotics, alongside investors such as Shanghai Embodied Intelligence Fund and SAIC.

Shanghai Securities News reported on March 24, 2025, that JD.com has confirmed the establishment of an embodied intelligence business unit focusing on home scenarios. In the same month, JD Exploration Research Institute developed and open-sourced China's first dual-arm mobile robot operation dataset, JD ManiData, and also collaborated with multiple institutions to launch a framework for constructing an atomic skill library.

During the 2025 World Artificial Intelligence Conference, JD.com upgraded its large model brand to JoyAI and launched the embodied intelligence brand JoyInside, endowing robots and other terminal devices with high emotional intelligence interaction capabilities. It has already established collaborations with more than ten leading brands, offering a rich and diverse range of products.
