Company
From intelligent systems to manufacturable hardware.
SHANYO is a Shanghai-based embodied intelligence company focused on AI, automation and robotic hardware. One integrated product team carries ideas through system architecture, interaction, industrial design, validation and production engineering—so a promising demo can become a dependable product.
Hardware and intelligence, designed as one product.
We work across electronics, embedded firmware, AI models, cloud services, industrial design and production—not as isolated workstreams, but as one product system. Each project also strengthens a reusable technical platform for faster validation of the next device.
Vertical integration
Circuits, drivers, firmware, connectivity, models and cloud services advance together.
Platform-led development
A shared AIE foundation reduces repeated engineering across different product forms.
Production-aware execution
Design decisions account for testing, sourcing, tooling and scalable assembly from day one.
